The WORST

Charged me an outrageous fee for her services, then pawned me off on an associate after appearing in court once and dragged it out for years. Rude, unprofessional, money hungry, and uncaring. They created an essentially useless order while making me feel that mine and my child's needs were being met..., and I discovered will not hold up in court. We were left in a worse position than when we started as well. RUN. These reviews are here for a reason!

excellent choice

Michelle handled an awful business legal battle for me and my wife against the state of NY and ATT . two of the most corrupt entities in the country. Between her and George VC Muscato they were able to turn what could have been an awful dragged out battle in to a settlement we could deal with. She is... kind and caring

I would give NO stars if I could

I hired Michelle because I wanted an aggressive attorney for my custody/visitation suit. WHAT. A. MISTAKE. She is completely disorganized and doesn't care - she didn't even show up for one of my court appearances and last minute (apparently she was on vacation?!) sent one of her junior attorneys - w...ho was totally unprepared - in her place. 30 minutes late! She ignored outreach attempts by the other side to reach a settlement - I found this out AFTER from the other attorney - and instead, gouged me for even more (undeserved) fees. And her written work product was late, and full of mistakes! Learn fro my mistake - DO NOT hire this woman.

Unorganized

Hired her based on recommendation, she was referred to as “pit bull”.....never saw it except for when she got mad at me when I spoke up about my disappointment. I had to do all the paperwork runaround and only had the case move forward when I would call and question the office continuously. ( maybe t...hey take on more than they can handle...) whatever the retainer is you can double that and then some. I had to keep reminding her of key information regarding case. One day I received a sarcastic call from her saying she was at court where was I..... turns out no one informed me of court date ...horrible communication.

Very disappointed

I had hired Michelle for a divorce and was put into some very bad scenarios as a result of the divorce. Too many loose ends and way overcharged. I am still fighting through court some of the items that were never addressed almost 7 years later. A phone call of 2 minutes I would be charged for an hour.... Then after everything was finalized she said she would send me a final bill in the next few months. Less than a week later I received a past due notice and she hired someone to harass my family with phone calls about it. Talk about unprofessional!
