Keith M. Melvin
I was born in Zanesville and graduated from Maysville High School. I am delighted to have returned to my hometown where I practice in various areas including OVI/DUI (DWI), Criminal Law, Traffic Law, Social Security Disability, Veteran’s Benefits, and General Practice throughout Southeastern Ohio.
I am a proud Veteran of Operation Iraq Freedom, I was deployed in 2005 as part of Bravo Company, 612th Engineering Battalion. During my deployment in Iraq, I served as a gunner on a personal security detail, and was honored with a combat action badge and a meritorious service medal for my dedication and service. As a veteran, I am deeply committed to assisting fellow veterans in all their legal needs.
In 2012, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Applied Management from Ohio University. I went on to complete law school, receiving my Juris Doctorate from Capital University in January of 2016, with a concentration in Environmental and Energy Law. During my time in law school, I was an active member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Society and held leadership positions in the Student Bar Association and Military Law Society.
I am a member of several professional organizations including the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, DUI Defense Lawyers Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Muskingum County Bar Association, and the Ohio State Bar Association. Additionally, I am accredited by the National Care Planning Institute to represent Veterans.
