Not recommended

Ms. Michel is very careless in documenting information such as dates, dollar figures, and names of establishments. On one occasions I was emailed another clients documents and another time my preliminary court document contained a lot of information which was clearly not mine. Also, she lacks some b...asic knowledge of medical changes since Obama care. Ms. Michel obviously does not know how corporate medical benefits work and thought she could order court orders for company's to add spouse back on. Not the case. This resulting in court fees, her unworthy billing of her time, all at my expense. Then in the end I had to reimburse him for his bills and teeth whitening. What company do you know covers teeth whitening? None! But apparently she didn't make an argument and the court system granted teeth whitening. Ms. Michel has a tendency not to do anything in a hurry such as sticking to deadlines. In the beginning my ex spouse was dealing with her directly as he was pro se and she never received his correspondence and would just let deadlines expire. later on I come to find out cause he emailed me about her incompetence in not responding to his emails. When I confronted Ms. Michel she said, " oh, my email server must of put them in the spam folder." This to me is unacceptable as there were a few times I didn't get a response from her and had to email her again. I would definitely not use her for anything! Not worth loosing your sanity and money! She has no idea what a traumatic event such as a divorce can do to oneself. There were times when she appeared to be more favorable toward the defendant! I had to question her on a few occasions who she was representing? I could probably write a book of all the turmoil she has caused me over the past six years. Her inappropriate comments about other spouse were uncalled for; her asking me to send her personal emails and texts messages not pertaining to the divorce settlement were inexcusable; and inquiring about personal transactions on bank statements after separation went far enough. I promise you this information you just can't make up! I almost fired her last year but because of all the time, money, and stress already incurred I just wanted this over with and didn't think it would be worth finding a new lawyer. I was wrong it would of been worth it. Finally, there are two sides to every story and yes my ex spouse was fighting everything he could to keep everything to himself. However, a good lawyer would of not allowed this to drag on the way she did and would offer effective communication.

Divorced

Me being me I kept in mind that Lisa was working for me and she did whatever I told her even against her advise. It wasn't long I let her do her thing. I am a male and I got through my divorce and the kids are in my custody because of Mrs. Michel
