Gidian R. Mellk is an associate in the Rains Lucia Stern St. Phalle & Silver Litigation Group.

After attending Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, Gidian began her legal career in Princeton, New Jersey, representing teachers and other school employees through the New Jersey Education Association. She continued to do so for the next 15 years, even after moving back to California, specializing in research, writing, and litigation in administrative, state, and federal tribunals, including the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Gidian subsequently joined the law firm Green & Shinee, where she focused exclusively on prosecuting (and, at times, defending) writs of mandate on behalf of peace officers in both the Superior Court and the Court of Appeal. She is proud to continue her work on behalf of union members with RLS.
