Thorough, thoughtful and extremely helpful

I hired Michele 16 years ago during a very difficult financial time after losing my job and being out of work for a year…while it was a very hard decision for me to make, Michele made the process easier for me and walked me through everything- she was empathetic to my situation, and I will always be ...grateful for her assistance as it has made me a more financially stable person all these years later…

Honest, Insightful, and Friendly

Michelle made the entire process of filing for a bankruptcy straightforward, quick, and easy. She assuaged my fears and stigmas of related to filing bankruptcy and was a joy to work with through every step of the way. Was very prompt in her communications and providing answers to questions. I highly ...recommend her if you're in a situation where you may need to file bankruptcy. In fact I've already recommended her to a few people who are looking into bankruptcy as well!

The very best attorney

I reached out to Michele to handle my bankruptcy case. She is amazing. She responded immediately on a weekend and agreed to meet with me. She was working on my case before I retiained her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I was so glad I found her when I did.

The best lawyer

Michele was very helpful with all my paperwork and she put my mind at ease. Thanks to her all my finances are in order & I am actually house shopping at this time which I thought was impossible years ago. I appreciate everything she has helped me with.

An amazing bankruptcy lawyer

I was referred to Michelle by another client of hers who loved working with Michelle. Bankruptcy is not an easy thing to discuss or even deal with. Michelle handled every step in a timely fashion. During this process I felt defeated and ashamed, but Michelle put all of my concerns into prospective an...d assured me that I would be whole again. It’s been two years and I am in the process of buying a new home and doing great again. If anyone out there is in this situation you will not find anyone more caring, helpful, professional, qualified and cost effective. She handles every case like it’s her own. Thank you Michelle for all of what you have done for my family to rebuild our lives and put us back on financial track again.
