About Matt
Matthew Melancon is the founder of Melancon Legal PLLC, a firm dedicated to helping small to medium-sized businesses navigate their legal needs with confidence. With expertise spanning Business Law, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, and Construction, Matthew provides comprehensive legal solutions tailored to help businesses grow and thrive.
Before establishing Melancon Legal PLLC, Matthew honed his skills in a top-tier law firm, specializing in trademark secrets and other complex areas. However, he found greater fulfillment in working closely with clients rather than representing faceless corporations. This drive to be in the trenches with his clients led him to create a law firm that is truly a one-stop shop for businesses looking to become more sophisticated.
Matthew’s diverse entrepreneurial background includes experience as a mechanical engineer in the Oil & Gas industry, a health and wellness entrepreneur, and a cryptocurrency entrepreneur. These varied roles provide him with unique insights into the challenges of starting, running, and owning a business. His personal experience ensures he understands the intricacies of his clients’ needs, enabling him to offer practical and effective legal counsel because he’s been there himself.
The firm is committed to providing small to medium-sized businesses with the same level of sophisticated legal services that big corporations enjoy, but tailored for smaller businesses.
With Matthew and his team, you can expect dedicated support and practical legal advice, so if you’re looking for a trusted legal partner, Melancon Legal PLLC is here to help you every step of the way..
