Case won!

This lady is serious about winning your case! My case took almost five years but she was focused and determined. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that I know that is in need of an attorney. Thank you so much for all of the hard work from you and your staff.

Posted by Matthew | January 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

My first choice for family legal

I have hired Michelle twice now for child custody matters. She was able to have custody of my children awarded to me, then she was able to prevent my children from ending up in an unsafe situation. I have the deepest respect for her, her staff and I have the upmost confidence that she will go the ex...tra mile for her clients. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle is at the top of her league as an attorney!!!

Michelle McCracken is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable attorney, whose practice, ethics and morals are without question, of the utmost caliber. I worked in the legal field for many years and throughout my career, her reputation was always viewed as the highest, and someone whom I have alwa...ys known to be admired and respected in the legal arena. I proudly say, although am not at all surprised, that during her handling of my case, Michelle surpassed the reputation I have heard of and admired her for over the years. Not only is she knowledgeable of the Law, she stands strong in her convictions to represent her client with great drive, determination and expertise, no matter how challenging or difficult the circumstances or parties in a case may be. Despite the constant lack of cooperation/noncompliance issues of opposing party throughout my proceedings, (creating this case to be a very daunting task), Michelle and her team never gave up nor grew discouraged in working diligently and constantly on my case, to ensure that justice was served in my divorce proceedings and succeeded with the case being ruled in my favor and prevailed in attaining all that I was entitled to after being in a 37 year abusive marriage. She stood steadfast in the law to provide me with the BEST representation I could have asked for. Michelle McCracken is by far on of the best of the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation. She's top notch and definitely my "go-to" attorney, should the need ever arise in the future!
