Mixed review

I went through a ten month family law case with Jeannie, and initially I couldn't possibly fit enough good things to say about Mrs. Michalski's practice in a review. Initially Jeannie seemed extremely articulate in family law. We sat down and she truly listened and every question and concern, and eve...n concerns that may seem trivial were answered. She took the time to understand every nuance of the case. Jeannie was that calm voice in the storm and tactfully and skillfully advocates for her clients. With regret some things were not properly handled and the case became a real mess over time and I'm not sure Jeannie is the best fit if one is going to litigate in family court. Such venues are a real quagmire and crap shoot at best is what people should understand. Always try to settle your differences is the best advice I can give, especially for men in family court. All said and done I'd probably not hire Jeannie again. At the very least she takes on too many clients and can't really dedicate herself to winning a case.

Consulted and hired for family court matter. Jeannie went above and beyond to help my case, while considering the long term effects of our family issues. Her assistant is also outstanding. I would highly recommend them. Great team!!

Wasn’t pleased

I hired her for a family court matter and she didn’t help me at all she pretty much told me to hand my child over to his father! She didn’t fight for me or help me at all! I don’t recommend her at all!

Caring, Knowledgeable, and Dedicated

After consultation with a few attorneys, Jeannie was the clear choice. Always felt as though I was talking to a friend, rather than a stranger just in it for the money like most. It is very clear that she actually cares about you and what you are going through. That personal touch makes all the diffe...rence. Do not be confused, though, she knows when to flip the switch and get down to business. I do not know what I would do if she was ever unavailable to take my case and I had to look for a different attorney. Whether you are dealing with a family court case or criminal matter, rest assured, Jeannie will always know exactly what to do and always be there for you. Her assistant, Alicia, is also great at keeping you updated and making sure things are attended to. Nobody ever likes to have to find an attorney, but when you do, Jeannie is the one you want!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
