Melissa Cowle

Divorce, child custody, parental visitation, spousal support, marital agreements, property division … Melissa gets family law. But it’s more than just her considerable professional skills and academic achievements that make her exceptional. Anyone who knows her will tell you that Melissa cares about people. She chose to practice family law because it offers so many opportunities to help people find their way through major life challenges. And her commitment to caring for others extends beyond her practice of law; Melissa serves on the Board of Directors of AiRS (Alliance in Reconstructive Surgery), an organization that assists breast cancer survivors. "The clients that family law attorneys work with are almost always at a crossroads in their lives – and it’s gratifying to help people find a better path forward. As a matter of fact, this is why I was drawn to Armstrong Law. Everyone here is focused on helping our clients build better futures,” says Melissa. “You’d be surprised how few family law firms actually make that a priority. "Melissa graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2016. She received her bachelor’s degree in political science and government from Southern Methodist University where she was a Distinguished Scholar and a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society.
