At Mellado & Mellado-Villarreal, we focus on matters where experienced litigation counsel makes a decisive difference. Our practice is defined by strategic thinking, meticulous preparation, and a deep understanding of both legal and business risks.
We do not offer generic services. Instead, we concentrate on the areas in which our expertise has the greatest impact, helping clients achieve favorable outcomes in complex and high-exposure matters.
Core Practice Areas
Commercial Law
From Act 75 manufacturer defense to federal judgment enforcement, we represent corporations and financial institutions in the commercial disputes where the outcome actually matters.
Complex Litigation & Appellate Advocacy
We have obtained injunctions, reversed verdicts on appeal, and enforced federal judgments across Commonwealth and federal courts for more than three decades.
Real Estate & Construction Law
We handle the full lifecycle of property matters in Puerto Rico — from closings, title, and development to surety bonds, foreclosure, and broker commission disputes.
Employment & Labor Law
We defend employers through every stage of the dispute cycle — including trial and appeal — under both Puerto Rico’s labor statutes and their federal counterparts.
