All thumbs up!!!

Michelle not only has the letter-of-the-law expertise, she also has the on-the-job experience to be familiar with the various judges and their courts, and knows how to work with them. If she accepts your case she is in your corner and on your side. She makes it personal and fights for YOU! She negoti...ated a much better resolution to my case than I had expected or even dared hope for. She is definitely tops in her field!

Ride of the Valkyrie

Michelle is amazing. If I needed a lawyer standing before Satan in hell I would choose Michelle without a doubt. From the moment I met her I knew I made the right choice. She is very knowledgeable, and fights endlessly for her clients. She is upfront and doesn't scam you for money like lawyers can. I... was at her mercy but she didn't take advantage of me. She is queen of the courtroom and I will choose her everytime. I highly recommend her.

Michelle is the best! Definitely hire her.

I can say enough good things about Michelle. Got my moms case dismissed. Kept us informed throughout the whole process. My mom was so happy with her she hugged her after the case! Highly recommended.

The best experience I could have asked

Michelle is not only a wonderful lawyer but a wonderful person. I found myself in serious trouble but through her guidance, we were able to get through it. Every text and phone call were immediately answered. I wouldn't choose anyone else to represent me in court.

True to her words

Michelle is really good at following up on anything you ask and true to her words. She got me the settlement I asked for, walked me through the entire process, and ensured it was a smooth process. I would hire her again - hopefully i won't need to though :)

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.
