Michele G. Bergevin

Run from this crook. She will only get back to you on her way home rush you off the phone in 5 min if that and bill for full hour. She took a easy divorce with no children custody or anything and prolonged it for the tune of around 30k. She forgets details and pawns you off to her paralegal . When i ...called her out on her office loosing important documents you get her third personality who tells you off and threatens to drop you. Crooked as the day is long.

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.

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!

I used Michele for my divorce 11 years ago (she was recommended by a friend) and thought she was great, but it was a very straightforward case. I retained her again this year to handle a violation petition and custody issue with my teenagers. I did not at all appreciate the "wham, bam, thank you ma'a...m" treatment I received. I had a lot of questions due to the fact that I have a special needs child. She was not at all thorough - gave my questions the brush off and when I had follow up questions after the court date was over she said it was now a new matter and I'd have to pay to retain her all over again. She was cold, uninterested and acted like she had much bigger fish to fry than my crummy little case.

I was disappointed. Michelle was recommended to me by a friend. My divorce was simple. Her office dragged it out for months longer than it had to be. The would only move things along when I called. They never kept me informed about what was going on unless I called them. The staff was usually snippy ...and rude over the phone. And a year later I still have not received a receipt of the charges to spite me calling and asking for one.
