Sofia Bartalone
Paralegal
I’ve been working in the legal field for over five years and have been proud to be part of the team at Abrams Landau, Ltd. since 2023. As a paralegal, I enjoy helping our clients navigate the workers’ compensation process and being someone they can rely on throughout their case. Whether it’s answering questions, keeping them updated, or helping resolve issues as they arise.
The most rewarding part of my job is getting to know our clients and helping them through what is often a difficult time. I enjoy being a resource for them and making sure they feel supported every step of the way. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at the movie theater, painting, or spending time outdoors. I enjoy trying new things, staying active, and making the most of my free time with family and friends.

Favorite aspect of working at Abrams Landau: “I love helping our clients and I love my co-workers.”
Kristin Tanzi
Lead Negligence Paralegal

Favorite aspect of working at Abrams Landau: “We are all about the outcome for the client. Whether the case is large or small, we want the client to be extremely satisfied with the efforts put forth by this firm on their behalf, as well as the overall financial outcome of the case. We are here to help the people who need us most.”
Melissa Landau
Bookkeeper
Melissa has been the bookkeeper for over 20 years and is also a full-time Realtor licensed in VA, MD and DC. She can often be found running in the sun or on a bike, sometime even racing behind her husband and our boss “Mr. Landau.”
Favorite aspect of working at Abrams Landau: “I enjoy speaking to potential clients, especially when I am able to tell them that I think we can help them. We can’t make people whole again, but providing hope, support and then funds to cover medical expenses and compensate for loss is truly satisfying work.”
