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.

I’ve had the wonderful experience working with Ms. Bermel through a terrible custody situation. Ms. Bermel remained impartial, transparent and honest throughout the process. What I most remember is how much the Court respected her for her clarity, fine judgement and impartiality. I would turn to her ...again for any counsel - legal or otherwise.
