Melissa Burke
Paralegal
Melissa graduated from Grand Canyon University in 2021, earning a Bachelor’s in Government with Legal Emphasis. She also earned a Paralegal Certificate from UCLA Extension. Her emphasis is in family law because her passion is helping others in their most difficult times.
She loves being able to assist wherever she’s needed, especially when working together as a team to meet each client’s individual needs and move cases in the right direction. Her biggest goal is to learn as much as she can within all of the different aspects of King Law Firm’s diverse array of services so she can assist in a wider range of cases.
When Melissa’s not at work, she enjoys speeding time with her husband and dog, Miso.
Gloria Zahn
Client Liaison
After graduating Westchester High School in Los Angeles, California, Gloria held several odd jobs before becoming a calendaring clerk. While being able to communicate daily with courtroom clerks and staff at many different law firms, she never felt at home in that role. She loves organizing and learning new things, as well as providing the best customer service she can offer. As a client liaison at King Law Firm Attorneys at Law, Inc., Gloria learns as much as she can about the law from her colleagues in an environment that truly feels like her home away from home.
A San Pedro, California native, Gloria now lives in Canyon Lake with her husband of 12 years.
