Excellent Attorney

If you want a lawyer that will get you a verdict of NOT GUILTY contact Michelle Diamond. Her legal knowledge is very thorough and she will spend time with great care and completeness preparing your case for trial. She presented an excellent case in court complete with regard to every detail that won... an OUI arrest. My license was reinstated. thank you!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
