Melissa Green

Melissa Green is a Partner at Maven Law in Hockessin, Delaware. Green focuses on federal Social Security Disability claims and special education matters under the IDEA and Section 504. The practice includes disability-benefit claims and education matters involving students’ rights, accommodations, and services. The work calls for close attention to the record, governing law, procedure, and the practical choices available to the client.

Green earned a Juris Doctor magna cum laude from Drexel University, where she ranked fifth in her class, and a B.S. from the University of Southern Maine. Before law school, she worked as a high school teacher, providing direct experience with educational settings that complements her special education practice. The training supports Green’s ability to evaluate legal questions, organize detailed facts, and explain options in Social Security Disability and special education law matters. It also provides useful context for the practical issues clients may face.

Green’s experience includes prior practice at Linarducci Law focused exclusively on Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income matters, along with current representation in disability and special education cases. The work has required detailed preparation, procedural judgment, and coordination with the people and institutions involved in each matter. That experience helps place legal and evidentiary questions in the practical setting in which clients must make decisions.

Melissa Green has been named a Delaware Today Top Lawyer in her field in multiple years beginning in 2019. She is admitted in Delaware and Pennsylvania and in federal court. This professional record complements Green’s work in Social Security Disability and special education law and related matters. The combination of subject-matter experience, preparation, and communication helps clients understand the legal framework and the practical considerations affecting their next steps.
