OCVLC Hires New Staff Attorney Melanie Kebler

We are pleased to announce the hire of Melanie Kebler as our new staff attorney. Melanie spent four years as a prosecutor in both Lincoln and Yamhill Counties, focusing on crimes of domestic violence and sexual assault. Throughout her career as a prosecutor, Melanie worked closely with victims and victim advocates to ensure that crime victims understood the criminal justice system and were treated fairly within it. She also worked hard to achieve just results in each criminal case, to hold offenders accountable, and to achieve protection and restitution for victims. 

As a staff attorney for OCVLC, Melanie will be handling cases involving victims of any crime around the state. We are confident she will continue to uphold the OCVLC’s standard of providing expert, no-cost legal representation that clients of OCVLC have come to expect. Prior to attending law school at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Melanie graduated from the University of Michigan in 2005. She joins legal director Rosemary Brewer and administrative director and victim advocate Cristina Damiani.
