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!

Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend anybody looking for a criminal defense lawyer to see Michelle, she was amazing help to me! I called her on the day of my situation and she was available to see me immediately! She was very thorough and covered all areas on my matter, after leaving her office she made me feel ...really confident, and put me at ease. Very professional, I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me.

THE BEST!!!! DEFINITELY, HIRE HER!!!

Michelle handled a Traffic Ticket I got while driving south from Maine heading to Virginia. I was so frustrated when I realized I would have to go to court, because it was 250 miles each way and I had other obligations on the date it was scheduled. I was so relieved when I spoke to her, and she... was extremely pleasant and professional! It was the most competitive flat-rate fee that she charged for the service, and she heard my circumstance and advocated on my behalf. Ultimately, I paid a very small fee associated with the court costs, and I could not be more grateful for her help! Thank you so much Michelle, you are AWESOME!!

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!

Best lawyer ever

Michelle Welsh is very professional she represented me on a DWI charge. My alcohol level was 1.3 which is way over the legal limit. Michelle got my DWI charge dismissed. She's the best lawyer don't hesitate to hire her. She will fight for you.

  • 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.
