Hands down she is Awesome!

Michelle saves my life! She is a true professional. Very organized and detailed oriented. She does not back down in court, she fights for the rights of her clients. My custody case was emotionally draining and drawn out over the course of two year! Never once did she fault on representing me. I highl...y recommended her for any of your legal needs. Thank you so much Michelle. My son and I can now move on to bigger and better things in life.

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.
