Truly amazing attorney - Highly Recommend!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Michelle. I hired her to be my attorney for a cell phone violation. She was the only lawyer I spoke to that took the time to explain what I was charged with, why I was charged, and what the potential outcomes could be. She helped me understand the law aro...und cell phone violations and exactly what it entailed, so that I would never be in this position again. She was in constant contact and updated me throughout the process. I felt fully supported every step of the way. She is an extreme "go-getter" in terms of getting the BEST outcome for her client and she fought hard for me. I fully trust her and her knowledge of the court - she's incredibly smart and driven. I can't say enough good things. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Michelle!!

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.

Best municipal court attorney

Handled my case same day & did a BEAUTIFUL job I couldn’t be more happier. She got my charges dismissed and filed for my expungement. She’s the best

The best!

I had a great experience with her. From the first time I spoke to her on the phone, she spoke like she already took on the case and gave a step by step plan of what she was going to do. She was professional, always in contact and really got my husband a good outcome on his ticket. Would hope we never... have to but if we needed a lawyer again, we would choose her! Thanks for everything!

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!

  • 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.
