Why we do this work

We focus on providing high-level legal representation with a personal, client-centered approach. That means fewer cases, more attention, and direct access to your attorney from day one. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter strategies or handoffs—you’ll always know who’s handling your case and what to expect next. Our concierge-style model is built to give every client the time, care, and clarity they deserve.

We take on cases where we know we can make a meaningful difference—whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of a car accident, the loss of a loved one, or serious damage to your home or business.

Your Team

Meet Graham

Meet Melody

Melody Bray

Of Counsel

Melody Bray brings a strategist’s mind and a trial lawyer’s instinct to every case she handles. With 17 years of experience and a deep background in litigation, Mel is known for building strong cases from day one—and seeing them through with clarity, compassion, and a drive to win. Melody and Graham have been close friends for over 20 years. Their deep trust and respect for each other makes them a formidable trial team.

A graduate of Emory University School of Law, cum laude, Melody began her legal career clerking in Georgia courts and interning for Georgia Supreme Court Justice Harold Melton. That early foundation in the judiciary sharpened her instincts for trial strategy and gave her a clear view of what moves cases forward. Since then, she’s taken numerous cases to trial and earned a reputation for her meticulous preparation and client-centered approach.

Clients appreciate Melody’s empathy as much as her precision. She knows that legal matters can feel overwhelming, and she works hard to ensure that her clients feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the process.

Like everyone at Rees Law Firm, Melody’s commitment to service and advocacy extends beyond her legal practice. Outside the courtroom, she serves on the board of ATL Collective, a non-profit that supports Atlanta’s local music community. She also collaborates with senate leaders at the Georgia State Capitol and hopes her work there helps shape policies that make life better for all Georgians.
