Hello!

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Melissa Träumerin, born and raised in Indiana. With a heart’s whispering that the Pacific Northwest was my home, I moved to Seattle in 2024.

I am licensed in both Indiana and Washington. I started working for the courts in Indiana, beginning as a Deputy Clerk for Probate and Estates in the early 2000s. I worked my way up to part-time Court Staff for the Probate & Guardianship court and worked for the court while in undergraduate at Franklin College.

When I entered law school, I returned and clerked for the same Judge, the Honorable Kevin M. Barton (pictured). And, again, after I graduated and passed the bar, I clerked one more time for the Judge. I even had the great honor of serving as temporary judge on a few Guardianship cases.

I enjoy helping my clients navigate and plan for the future. I also enjoy the process of guiding clients through the probate process.

Here in Seattle, I am grateful to work with my mentor, Attorney Marcia Mellinger. She has been very graciously sharing her wealth of knowledge from her decades of law practice.

I choose to work part-time as an attorney, because I enjoy pursing the arts in many forms. I carve out time in my week to paint, create, sew, and write poetry. I’m also working on a book.

In my free time, I enjoy dancing, nature, reading, journaling, volunteering for the arts, cooking, and exploring Seattle and the surrounding area by foot and public transit.

I look forward to getting to know you as we create a plan that works for you!
