Our Story

Rodriguez & Lichtmacher, LLP began in 2023 when attorneys Melina Rodriguez and Michael Lichtmacher joined forces. Both had practiced independently for years, but they shared a common vision: to build a law firm that puts people first. By combining their legal knowledge and complementary strengths, they created a client-centered practice focused on personal service and strategic results.

Before entering law, Melina and Michael built careers in other fields. That experience gave them a practical understanding of the challenges clients face—whether in business, family matters, or financial planning. Their real-world insight shapes how they approach each case, guiding them with empathy, precision, and a clear plan of action.

From day one, they committed to staying personally involved in every matter. Clients are never passed off or treated like a number. Instead, Melina and Michael work together on each case, using a team-based approach to deliver thoughtful and effective representation.

They also believe in educating clients without overwhelming them. Legal concepts are explained in plain language. Options are outlined clearly. Every step is designed to help clients make informed decisions with confidence.

Rodriguez & Lichtmacher isn’t just a law firm—it’s a partnership built on shared values and mutual respect. Every case benefits from their collaboration, where each attorney brings unique strengths to the table. Together, they work toward the best possible outcome for every client.

Today, the firm continues to grow while staying true to its founding mission: to provide strategic legal guidance with personal attention, treating every client like family and every matter like it truly matters.
