Melissa's legal career was shaped by her 7-year tenure as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for the Cook County Public Guardian's Office, where she represented abused and neglected children (DCFS Wards). During this time, her dedication to serving children and families in the legal system grew.

After graduating from The John Marshall Law School in 2008, Melissa joined the Cook County Public Guardian's Office. Following her impactful years there, she transitioned to Family Law, starting at Sullivan Taylor and Gumina in 2015 and later joining Mulyk Laho, LLC in 2018. Finally, in February 2021, Melissa established her own firm, Kuffel Law, LLC.

Melissa actively engages in her community, holding leadership positions such as President of the Dupage Association of Women Lawyers (D.A.W.L.) and serving on the board of the Kendall County Bar Association. She also contributes to the legal field through her involvement with the Hearing Board for the Attorney Registration and Discipline Committee (ARDC) and previous role as the Child Advocacy Chair in DuPage County. Additionally, Melissa volunteers her time with Meals on Wheels.

Furthermore, Melissa shares her expertise by delivering presentations at events like the DCBA Diversity Symposium and publishing articles that shed light on the workings of DCFS and navigating DCFS Appeals. Her accomplishments have been acknowledged through nominations as a Super Lawyer's Rising Star in both 2021 and 2022.
