Michele G. Bergevin

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

I retained Michele to handle a contentious and extremely complicated relocation trial (I was the one attempting to stop the relocation). This was a “direct to trial” case. I am a seasoned law enforcement professional. In that capacity, I have worked closely with an array of both prosecutors and de...fense attorneys. Many were/are quite skilled; some were great negotiators; only a handful were excellent trial attorneys. Michele falls into the latter. From the EBT (deposition) to the actual trial Michele performed admirably. She had complete command of the pertinent issues, (including case law) and her performance in both realms were simply outstanding. By the third day of trial, the petitioner (my ex) decided it was prudent to settle (before her cross-examination) and withdrew the relocation petition. As a father who loves his children, I could not be more appreciative of this final result. I firmly believe the concession was a result of a hesitancy to be crossed examined by Michele. The writing was on proverbial wall. As for her billing, she is extremely fair; some would say she was too fair. She charged me for “exactly” the work she did and clearly did not “pad” the bill – trust me I examine bills closely anytime I am involved with an attorney, and with my ex that is often. If you are seeking an experienced and seasoned “trial attorney,” look no farther. If you are seeking an attorney who can play “hard ball” when necessary to ensure there is no trial, look no farther.
