Nightmare

She’s an awful person and only cares about making money and playing with the big boys. She’s part of the Marc Abram’s and Carol Most network.

Biased and unprofessional

From my experience, she skewed our conversations to support her decisions. Often she wouldn’t follow parent coordinator protocols; she’d rehash issues that were already decided, engage in lengthy one-one conversations, and broach topics that weren’t hers to decided all of which ended up costing m...e $20,000 a year. She’d regularly bill three months late and repeatedly promised to bill more timely and never did. She became irate with me when I couldn’t pay and told me that I could open up another credit card to pay her because her husband was out of work and she needed a new roof. She was friends with the other sides attorney and never disclose that to me. They were even Facebook friends. The judge called into question her decisions which she had no supporting evidence for and reprimanded her several times. Thankfully, the judge removed her. Michelle asked if she could stay on even after the judge removed her. Both sides said no. She have to make up that income elsewhere maybe actually work for it.

Best Children's Lawyer

Ms. Bermel was thoroughly dedicated to my son and daughter and very available at all times. Her knowledge of custody and visitation and parenting in general is amazing. Even my ex admitted that she was terrific. I strongly recommend her.

Unprofessional

As others have stated, she’s solely in it for the money. She tends to retread issues - runs up the bill and only bills 3 months at a time. She has little to no impartiality. I know she’s been removed from cases, which says a lot if not everything.

A true professional

Michele navigated an amazingly difficult parent custody case and acted as the PC. She really looked out for the best interest of our child, which was the most important thing for me. She never made it about the parents but always kept the best interest of the child in mind while making a decision. ... In the end everything worked out amazing. All the professionals involved in the case also agreed with Michele. It was so reassuring to have someone so professional with so much experience involved in our situation.
