Michelle Dawn Smith

Michelle handled my case for several months during COVID. She was always available and responded quickly. The counsel she provided helped me resolve my issues without seeing the inside of a court with an end result that was beneficial for my children which was the ultimate goal. I would definit...ely use Michelle again if needed.

Michelle was a true professional in handling my divorce. She knows Maryland Law and was able to help me in settling the matter. There were no details too small that she looked at and considered for mine and my children's future. In addition to her professionalism, she was very empathetic to my sit...uation and helped me through it. I couldn't recommend Michelle more!

I have been working with Michelle for about 4 years now with family and custody issues. Anytime I have a problem Michelle has been there to help get things straightened out. She is very responsive to emails and calls. She knows the legal system inside and out. She has never given me bad advice. She h...as been more than prepared for every court date we have had together and I have never lost a legal hearing with her on my team. A million thanks to Michelle and her legal team!!!!!

I hired Michelle to represent me in a complex custody battle where I moved out of state with my son. Michelle was amazing! Words cant even begin to describe how grateful I am that I hired her and for all her help. This was the most stressful time of my life and I wouldn't have been able to get throug...h it without her help and guidance/representation. The calamity that I felt on a daily bases was always put to ease after talking with her on our approach. She always knew exactly what to do and what our next steps were. Not only did she get me everything I asked for and achieved every single one of my goals, she also had this case closed and resolved within 3 months of me being served and hiring her! She was stern and to the point whenever advocating for me. I know in my heart no one else would have been able to get me the resolution that I deserved as a mom. She always had my son and I best interest when navigating through this process. She was professional, caring, smart, passionate and never once steered me wrong. I was never neglected when trying to reach her, which is important when you're in the mist of panicking over a situation. She had my defense and protection, took my case under her care and ran with it. I thank God everyday that I choose to hired her for representing me. Everything was always organized and laid out which took so much unnecessary stress off me. I put my sons living situation in her hands and trusted her without a doubt. Side note, Paul was amazing. Every time I called he knew who I was and it was very personable and welcoming. He had a very sincere calming way about him. The efficency that was proven from Michelle and this office is rare to find. I cant say thank you enough!

I hired Michelle after consulting with her about my child custody situation and my desire for more time with my children. She explained very clearly the process we needed to go through to attain my goal. She was clearly well versed in family law and was aggressive yet professional when the time came ...to file a motion for modification. We were successful with the modification and I will definitely use Michelle in any of my future family law legal matters.
