Michele P. Ellerin

I was referred to Michele Ellerin by Friend who had recently gone through her own divorce and had nothing but good things to say about Michele and her staff. I wasn’t happy with the attorney I originally started with and went to Michele for a consult. She was amazing. She took a look at my current pa...pers and added comments so I could ask my current lawyer to change them. After bringing all the information back to my current lawyer to make the changes I decided to switch to Michele. Best decision of my life. She was knowledgeable and explained everything. I was In the best hands possible. She made sure I got what I was entitled to and I cannot say enough about her staff. They are so wonderful. Always there to help and support because this was one of the hardest things I had been through. With the first lawyer I had to research everything. With Michele I felt so relieved to know she truly had my best interest at heart. I truly could never thank them all enough.

Prior to obtaining Michele Ellerin for family court and custody matters, multiple attorneys misled me and left me feeling hopeless even though I had a strong case. Michele Ellerin is the complete opposite. She fights for you with compassion, never letting the opposing party walk all over you. I ca...n't put into words how flawless her representation is but I will try. She is extremely precise, factual, and is well prepared for any situation that may present itself. Michele pays close attention to every single detail and hits every point with precision. I have never left a hearing, read a motion or response where I have felt cheated. To the contrary it has always exceeded my expectations. If you are searching for the best representation that you can possibly get, Michele Ellerin is that attorney. I cannot leave out everyone that she works with. They are knowledgeable, helpful, extremely organized, friendly, and will always lead you in the right direction. Everyone in that office truly has your best interest at heart. Family court matters can be the most stressful, awful experiences of your life. I can't express how much stress has been lifted by having this team represent me. I am beyond grateful.

I hired Michelle as my attorney for my divorce... which hopefully will be finalized this month. You know it is a good sign when a friend recommended because she was the opposing counsel in her divorce. :) Michelle has given me clear direction each step of the way on what to expect and action items th...at need happen in order for this divorce to be finalized. Divorce is hard on everyone but she has been empathetic to my situation and fierce in the courtroom. I highly recommend.

Inaccessible, that is the best way to describe this. A friend recommended her, and then after I hired her for my divorce the friend said BIG MISTAKE--she was inaccessible. I'm not sure if it's "the system" or her, but don't expect any assistance with custody issues when you are going through a divo...rce in terms of violations of orders. It seems to be a pattern. Deal with divorce first, then go back for custody. I know the courts are backed up, but it would be helpful if she had let me know this from the beginning. Follow-up was extremely poor. I didn't find out I was divorced (signed) for 3 months even though I had called and emailed asking about it (my ex told me we were). Invariably, I missed out on COBRA health benefits due to this and was extremely angry with her and her office for this (isn't due diligence a requirement?), and she failed miserably with this. She's great in court, but other than that, I was disappointed. Ditto what the first person said (receptionist very rude though probably sick of people calling to complain).

Michele and her team have been working hard on my case and I only have positive things to say about the firm. Divorce can be extremely stressful, difficult, emotional time in someones life. Everyone at the office takes the time to explain each step throughout the entire process. They are very respons...ive, compassionate, highly knowledgeable, and professional. The firm stays on top of every detail on my case.
