Michele G. Bergevin

Michele was a colossal waste of time and money. She charged up fees and was completely vague anytime I had questions. She missed court appearances and ultimately made me look like a fool for not answering court discovery requests that were never communicated to me. I had to switch attorney's towa...rds the end of my divorce and boy am I ever so grateful that I did. She came across as an attorney that was a pitbull but ultimately was incompetent in court. Beware, as I have heard similar experiences from several other divorcees.

Michelle is the best Family court Attorney in Niagara County Hands Down! Her extensive experience in family law is the reason my family was referred to her! From the minute I hired her and her firm they have done nothing but fight for my case! She knows what to file, when to file it and is very stern... and respected while litigating in the court room! I give her 10stars as an attorney! She is an absolute pit Bull in that court room! Thank you Michelle

Michele was recommended by friend to handle custody/parenting agreement modification. Michele unorganized, she would schedule meetings at her office with me that always lasted at least 1 hour, $$$$$, we would come to agreement on pending matter when in court she would act like it was never discussed ...at all??? argue and blame me when I questioned or pointed out that was something we had already decided on. I arrived at office for scheduled appointment and she said " oh I forgot you were coming in today" NO WORRIES, she didn't forget to sent the bill for the full hour while she pranced around in 3" heels finding my file. claimed her office did not communicate via email and said to call, when I called office staff said I didn't respond to email and attachment? acted like I was being unreasonable because I didn't agree with last minute changes the other side made to agreement, Isnt it her job to represent her client not endorse the other side? This is a parenting agreement that as a parent I will live by for the next 10 years so umm yeah. leave voicemail about not responding to email she sent (that they don't use?) and then a follow up letter she sent, when I said I didn't receive any letter in the mail? Eventually found that her staff sent to wrong address- BUT don't worry- somehow the bill for 250.00 an hour always came to the correct address! yes where I was overbilled - a 3 minute conversation from wherever she was with a lot of noise and people talking in background was billed as a 15 minute conversation-and changes agreed to were never followed through with on her end. the final agreement/parenting plan submitted to the court- my copy sent via email/file attachment- Missing page 6, had to call and ask for a complete agreement and had the displeasure of speaking to the nasty rude office girl, there is one who is pleasant and nice but I doubt she will survive . Never would I ever recommend Michele Bergevin. LIKE EVER.
