Best of the best!!!

Michelle held my hand through the process from beginning to the end. I was in a car accident and was cited for unsafe driving, which carried two points. Michelle worked feverishly with the Linden, NJ municipal prosecutor to have my summons reduced to a zero-point violation. Michelle truly cares about... her clients and I highly recommend her. Thank you Michelle!

Diligent, Knowledgable & Nice

Michelle was very helpful and comforting during the process. She went an extramile in expediting things and getting forms done, signed and submitted so we would not have to come back. I felt very confident with her by my side!

Great Lawyer

Michelle was incredible at reducing my stress level for a leaving the scene summons. She was candid and honest in her approach. I felt my interests were always being considered. Ended up with a great result with the dismissal of the main charge. Engaging personality as well. Thanks for your help!

Great lawyer

I received a leaving the scene ticket and Michelle Welsh was able to get the ticket completely dismissed. She was very helpful in the time leading up the court hearing. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer.

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.
