Michele Lynne Bermel Esq

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.

She was court appointed Parent Coordinator. From the beginning, I doubted her impartiality and once she was no longer the PC, I learned she was friends with my ex's attorney. She never disclosed this to me. The judge said that she hoped things would be better between me and my ex after Michele wasn...'t involved.

I hired Mrs Bermel after a very bad experience with another lawyer. Mrs Bermel was so responsive and helpful during my divorce that I can't say enough about her. I know I was frantic a lot but she took my calls any time and any day and was so knowledgeable, not just about family law but also about ...making sure my son's future needs would be taken care of. His teachers commented to me that they had never dealt with such a thorough and concerned lawyer before Mrs Bermel. I strongly recommend her and I don't think you could do better if you are going through a bad divorce like I did.
