I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am a third generation attorney. Both my father, Jerry M. Melone, and my grandfather, James P. Melone, were attorneys who graduated from the University of Tulsa Law School. I attended Edison High School and two years of undergraduate school at the University of Tulsa, before completing my undergraduate degree at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. In 1983, I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree (with Special Honors) in Political Science at George Washington University. During that time, I also attended the Russian language summer study immersion program at Norwich College in Vermont. In 1986, I earned my Law Degree from the George Washington University National Law Center. While earning my law degree, I also attended Oxford University in England through the University of San Diego’s summer study program in International Law. In 1986, after earning my law degree, I returned to Tulsa and joined my father in private law practice. In 1990, I was sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court Bar. In 1995, I transitioned to practice law as a solo attorney. Since then, I have been honored to practice law under the family name, Melone & Melone.
