Wonderful!

I was so nervous starting this whole divorce journey and very overwhelmed. As soon as I met with Michelle, I knew everything would be ok. The whole staff is fantastic, especially Kelly who was so patient with me when I would call or email with a bunch of questions or needed confusion cleared up. S...o happy this case is now closed, however I would highly recommend to anyone who needed a lawyer for their divorce

Awesome divorce attorney

Michelle and her staff were awesome. They gave good advice, helped me understand the process, were thorough and understanding. They also tried to keep my costs as low as possible considering the complexity of the case. I highly recommend anyone going through divorce and custody matters to schedule... a consult with her ...and her consults are even free.

Excellent Lawyer

Michelle Winter is the best lawyer around. She has handled my very messy divorce and has made everything very easy for me. She always returns emails and calls and never made me feel likeI was being a bother. She handles everything in a very professional manner. Also her office staff is amazing. ...Always taking the time to explain things and never once made me feel like I was being a bother. I would recommend Michelle to anyone!

Went looking for a Attorney, and ended up with a Trusted Friend

Michelle and her team have been nothing but excellent. Professionalism with the human touch. From the first time I met Michelle, she was upfront, honest and made an aspect of a very difficult time in my life as easy as possible. Her caring nature was always looking out for my best interest and wha...t I appreciated the most was no "Bull$*#$", even if it wasnt the best news. I would highly recommend Michelle.

Very Informative and Knowledgeable

Michelle handled my case with 1st class professionalism. She fought for me for what she thought was right and fair. I continue to use Michelle for my case to this day making educated decisions based off Michelle's suggestions.If you need a 1st class, knowledgeable and attentive lawyer that pays atten...tion to detail, Michelle is the one for you! 5 stars across the board from me.

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.
