Melissa Hedrick was born in Arlington, Texas. She moved with her family to Oklahoma City in 1989 when her father had received a call from an Oklahoma City church to be its minister. Ms. Hedrick received her undergraduate degree in Political Science with a minor in History from the University of Oklahoma, where she graduated with special distinction. Ms. Hedrick entered the Oklahoma City University School of Law where she was awarded the Hatton W.

Ms. Hedrick received her Juris Doctorate from the Oklahoma City University School of Law, where she graduated first in her class and Summa Cum Laude.

Practice Areas

Statement to Clients

My clients are some of the greatest people I have met. Most are simply hardworking individuals. And most have never hired an attorney before. I hope to make that process easy for you and want to make sure that you feel comfortable with me and our firm. One thing that surprises most of my clients is that in addition to giving them all of the traditional methods of contact, i.e., office telephone number and email address, I give them my cell phone number as well. It is printed on each of my business cards, and I encourage clients to use it whenever they might need to contact me. All of my clients are welcome to call me at the time most convenient for them, including weekends. I am here to work hard for you, and I never mind hearing from you.

Education

Featured Case

Although I work in several different practice areas, at the heart of it, each client has something in common. Each has been injured as a result of another person’s negligence and/or wrongdoing. Sometimes, this injury can be a physical and/or psychological injury caused by a car accident, defective drug, or professional negligence. Sometimes, our clients come to us after having been financially injured as a result of a large corporation’s misdeeds. Regardless the injury, our clients have come to us during one of the most difficult periods in their lives, turning to us for help in a system that isn’t necessarily user-friendly. It is our goal to help you through this process. There is nothing more rewarding then being able to help during whatever it might be that life has thrown at you.
