Highly recommend

Excellent Family Attorney
I hired Michelle again (after she previously handled my divorce in 2019) to update my decree when my ex and I agreed upon a new visitation schedule.

"Michelle LeBlanc and I were opposing counsel on a highly-charged contested child custody case. Ms. LeBlanc demonstrated thorough preparation, acumen, rigorous advocacy, and professional courtesies during all phases of this case. I heartily endorse Michelle LeBlanc."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known and worked with Michelle for over 18 years and have referred many cases to her over the years. Actually, she is the only attorney I refer to in the Family Law area. As a Board Certified Specialist since 1989 and a Family attorney since 1972, I try very hard to refer potential clients to a safe, excellent place when I cannot be the attorney. I refer only to Michelle because she is diligent, intelligent, zealous in protection of her client's rights and very compassionate. I believe it is good for the profession to refer to competent attorneys because it is my reputation on the line with any referral I make. Michelle is the only family attorney I trust with my reputation because I know she will properly handle the case. I know this due to the fact that we have worked together on a number of cases at the beginning of her career and through the years."

"I endorse this lawyer. In my experiences working with Ms. LeBlanc, I have seen that she is candid, diligent and committed to zealously pursuing her clients' interests. I recommend her to people who contact me looking for a no nonsense, empathetic, hard working, sharp family law attorney."
