Michelle A. Winter - Excellent service and legal professional

Divorce is a situation that can become financially and mentally daunting. Lawyers can make the situation more volatile and cause the expense of the process to become more expensive. The plaintiffs and defendants can also cause the expense to increase. If everyone is not working together to move to...wards a reasonable agreement then it can become years of distress. Michelle is not trying to increase expense and is always trying to watch out for the best interest of everyone. She collaborates with everyone and that is important!!!! She is held in high regard in the Montgomery County Court system and has a tremendous amount of integrity and she deserves that respect. Michelle wants to eliminate/minimize the drama and get the situation resolved as quickly as possible. Her staff is outstanding and have to deal with many difficult issues and they have the experience and education to support Michelle. Her paralegal is one of the best that I have met. They are all terrific people who are a team dedicated to everyone's well being. I appreciated all they did for me during such a difficult time. They were responsive, supportive, informative, collaborative, and got the job done at each step of the process.

Understanding and concerned

Michelle was more like a friend than attorney. She got to know me and help me through the worst time of my life. I was afraid I would have to fight and claw for everything but Michelle was able to negotiate an agreement that we both could live with. She was very understanding of my financial const...raints and worked with me. Her staff especially her paralegal is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
