Has Danielle Melnick ever won?

Has defense attorney Danielle Melnick ever won a case on Law & Order? She always comes in like she is undefeated. And the Prosecutor's office is in big trouble. And she often has unconventional defense strategies. And she is often on the show. But, she always loses. I can't remember her ever winning.

Whenever she shows up, she always has this huge bravado about her, and all I can ever think is, "And you are going to lose again, because you always lose".

I don't know, she was the most overrated defense lawyer ever. There were many better attorneys on L&O than Melnick, I have no idea why she was thought of as some terrific lawyer, she was an annoying bitch who represented unlikable arrogant people and she always lost to both McCoy and Stone. Most overrated lawyer ever.

OTTH, most of her clients were as guilty of the charge as possible; her arguments in trial dealt with mitigation like the defense attorney who knew where the bodies of a client were and was in contempt of court! That was the silliest of them all; McCoy going after an attorney to compel or jail him to break privilege and betray a client! It made no sense that a judge would even hear this BS! 

Um, Danielle Melnick wasn't in that episode. But then again none of your posts make much sense.

She does a good job of creating an impressive first impression. But to veterans of the show, it just makes her look like a joke.

She is all about being a loudmouthed showboat but she never wins. She is all bark and no bite, one of the worst and most overrated lawyers and recurring characters on L&O

She's a buddy of Jack's dude! That's all you need to know! 
