Michelle Pimenta Viana

I made a contract for this firm to collect my payments for services rendered to a billionaire from NY, who killed himself last month because he was covered in debt, and this company, instead of defending my rights as stated in the contract, allied itself with my boss to not pay me. They simply said t...hat I would not have the right to receive my fees because I did not have an employment contract. Do not confine yourself in this firm! They are crooks!

I moved to Manhattan with a K-1 visa that I obtained with the help of Dra. Michelle. I'm from Brazil and my husband is a senior director for a pharmaceutical company in New York. We had two other attorneys before we were referred to Dra. Michelle, but they were not honest with us and we basically l...ost the retainer fee we had paid to them. Dra. Michelle was able to obtain a K-1 visa for me within 4 months from the date we hired her. Then after I married my husband, Dra. Viana immediately applied for my green-card, work authorization, advance parole and ALL our applications were GRANTED! I do not have words to thank Dra. Viana. She was very knowledgable and diligent with my case.

I retained Dra. Michele Viana to file my divorce in New York. I was married to an American and decided to divorce and move back to Brazil. My husband was extremely complicated and resisted until the end to make any settlement with me. After 12 years of marriage, he did not want to pay maintenance ...and did not want to comply with any court order. Dra. Michelle was amazing. She was a though negotiator; argued my case in court, Supreme Court, and was able to settle my case with very reasonable terms. During the entire process Dra. Michelle kept me informed of everything; obtained temporary maintenance for me right a way and a decent agreement in regards to the division of marital property. She looks like a young attorney, but she was very passionate about my case, knowledgeable about the law and on top of the legal proceeding. Now I am living in Brazil, but I always keep in touch with Dra. Michelle. Barbara Mota.
