Melvin Van Hurck
Attorney
Informed by his time working for several personal injury firms during law school, and his brief stint in insurance defense work following his graduation, Melvin knows what it takes to achieve the best results possible for his clients. Having been on both sides of the table, Melvin strives to find effective and efficient resolutions by leveraging his knowledge on how insurance companies operate.
Melvin takes a pragmatic yet empathetic approach to helping injured victims receive the compensation and results they deserve.
Keeping clients informed through open and transparent communication, Melvin seeks to ensure that clients feel comfortable and confident that their interests are being represented to the fullest extent. Originally from Amsterdam and Bangkok, Melvin brings an international background to his work, particularly a culturally sensitive approach to his relationship with clients.
Melvin’s current practice involves representing plaintiffs in a variety of personal injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, trip/slip and falls, and premises liability. Melvin strives to expand his area of expertise and is interested in pursuing cases in other areas of personal injury. While working in defense, he successfully handled cases involving timber trespass, construction defects, dog bites, elder abuse, workplace accidents, and wrongful death cases.
In his personal life, Melvin enjoys eating at new restaurants with his wife, traveling, watching and playing sports such as football, basketball, and soccer, and engaging in hobbies like card games, model building, and gaming. Melvin is an avid fan of the Tennessee Titans, Portland Trailblazers, and his hometown team Ajax.
