Meet Melanie Klark Szawara
Melanie grew up in Dexter, Michigan and graduated high school in 1996. She attended Western Michigan University for undergrad (1996-1999), majoring in Political Science-Public Law. Melanie graduated from Michigan State University College of Law in 2003.
After passing the Michigan bar exam, Melanie began practicing in Grand Rapids at RizzoBryan. For the first 5 years, she practiced in the areas of insurance defense and family law. She developed experience in practicing in numerous counties, courts and judges around the state. This helped her to understand the importance of knowing the judge on the case and fashioning arguments to most benefit her clients in that court.
Recognizing her passion for family law, she sought a position specializing in that practice area when returning to South East Michigan. She worked as an associate attorney with Harris and Literski (Brighton) from 2008 until 2020.
She founded MKS Law in 2020 in Dexter, Michigan.
