Outstanding professional, best lawyer in NJ

Michelle is an highly dedicated, professional, and extremely attentive lawyer. I was referred to her by family. My family and I have been clients for many years, and can attest to the amount of effort and time she dedicates to each client. She has been very attentive to all needs, and takes her time... to go over all steps of my legal situation, and answers all questions. Unlike a previously mentioned review, both her and her staff have been very easy to reach and quick to respond. She is very knowledgeable and professional, however still very personable, which can be very helpful when going through a delicate legal process. Her entire staff is also very professional and courteous. I am so glad to have such a dedicated lawyer. Highly recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
