Our team showed up in PINK to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we loved seeing everyone join in! 💕 It’s a small way to show our support for all the fighters, survivors, and families who have been affected by breast cancer.

In honor of this month, our firm is proud to make a donation to Making Strides of Jersey City to support the fight against breast cancer! 💖

A little pink, a lot of heart, and a cause that means so much. Thank you to our team for helping us spread awareness and show our support! 💗✨

25 Years Ago Today. Never Forget.

09/03/2026

🎉 Meld turned FOUR — and we tried to be trendy! ⚖️

Four years of practicing law, chasing deadlines, answering “quick questions” that were definitely not quick, and somehow surviving on coffee ☕ and sheer determination.

From day one to year four, we’ve built something we’re incredibly proud of — with amazing clients, an even better team, and plenty of stories along the way. 💙

To everyone who has trusted us, supported us, referred us, and cheered us on: thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you. 🙌

No need to overstate the record — we’re proud of this one. Here’s to year four, and to making our next chapter our best one yet! 🥂

And we’re equally proud to celebrate two attorneys on our team, Nikki Caruso and Andrew Rhein, recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® for Family Law.

Peer recognition is meaningful, but what makes us especially proud is what these attorneys bring to MELD every day: thoughtful counsel, strong advocacy, collaboration and a commitment to helping clients navigate family law matters that can profoundly affect their lives and their families.

From our partners to the next generation of attorneys building their careers at MELD, this recognition reflects something we value deeply — having a strong team at every level.

Congratulations to Ashley, Bobby, Tom, Steph, Lauren, Nikki and Andrew! We’re proud to have you representing MELD.

At MELD Law, we're always happy to celebrate when a family grows.

Recently, our own Jackie Dugan opened her home to a foster dog named Frank. Found in a condemned house in New York alongside 24 other dogs, Frank was looking for a safe place to stay while he waited for his forever family.

The plan was simple: foster him for a couple of weeks and help him find a home.

Frank had other plans.

Somewhere along the way, his personality, resilience, and delightfully unique little face won everyone over. What began as a temporary stop became a permanent one, and we're thrilled to share that Frank is officially a Dugan.

Stories like Frank's are a reminder that family comes in many forms, and sometimes the best additions are the ones you never saw coming.

Congratulations to Jackie and her family on their newest member. ❤️🐾

Welcome home, Frank.
