Others who list this employer on the register
The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick”. We count that spelling with Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.
42 other attorneys list Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C. or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 13 of them were admitted before 2011, and all 43 give an office in Washington, DC. The 5 whose admission is closest to 2011, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially
For a statement of Melissa Rodriguez’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Second Department, which admitted Melissa Rodriguez in 2011. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to that department’s grievance committee (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).
This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026, and the court system’s own search can be newer; the register shows only the current value, so a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or a censure, leaves no trace here (Appellate Division decisions are published through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau).
