Lifesaver!! Highly recommend!

Michelle is an angel to me! She got rid of all my 4 points from an improper passing ticket and she even reduced the court charges for me. She stuck by my side through the entire hearing and when I was stressing and worried she gave me reassurance that everything will be alright and she did her magic ...and I am so glad she was my lawyer. I highly recommend her, definitely hire her for any of your violations! She is the best!

Michelle Welsh is the lawyer you're looking for

Michelle is an excellent, caring lawyer who takes everything into consideration for the best possible outcome. She kept me in the loop through every step of the process and broke things down in a way that made me fully aware of the situation at hand, at all times. Through Michelle's hard work and rel...entlessness, I was cleared of all charges made against me- Thank you Michelle!

The best lawyer you can get!

I really don’t know where to begin. Michelle is the best criminal lawyer you can get. I was charged with theft and I was very scared. She listened to me, my circumstances and my story. She cares. Whenever I was nervous (and there were many times) I could just call her and she was always there to reas...sure me. She was able to get me a full dismissal and an immediate expungement for my arrest. All within two hours! She’s not only a top moth lawyer, but she’s a great person and super easy to talk too. I could never thank you enough for helping me get passed this!

Fantastic lawyer -Michelle Welsh- Traffic court

My room mate had various traffic violations from 2006 and 2 recent ones from April which inlude a warrant; thanks to Todd Palumbo who got us in contact with Michelle my roommate was able to pay the violations without doing any time. I think Michelle is caring, hard worker, smart and very knowledgeab...le. My roommate and I would recommend Michelle in a heart beat. Thank you so much for all your help and advice.

You'll Get Results!!

Trying to decide on hiring an attorney can be an onerous decision until I consulted and hired Michelle Welsh. She handled my case in Municipal Court efficiently, minimized the charges and negotiated lesser penalties which would have impacted my life and she left no stone unturned. I felt very comfo...rtable talking with her and she made me feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable and confident in what she does and what it comes down to is she cares about her clients. I would highly recommend this lawyer!
