Michelle is widely recognized for her work in insurance bad faith litigation — representing policyholders when insurance companies wrongfully deny, delay, undervalue, or mishandle valid claims. Her cases have involved automobile insurance disputes, life insurance claims, disability insurance claims, homeowner insurance disputes, and other complex coverage matters. Michelle has been repeatedly recognized by Super Lawyers® for her work representing injured individuals and policyholders in complex personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and insurance bad faith litigation.

However, what truly separates her from other lawyers is her commitment to her clients. Michelle understands that battling an insurance company that refuses to pay a legitimate claim is frustrating and all too stressful. She also understands that serious injuries as result of a car accident, medical errors, or other personal injury can be devastating and life changing. Michelle knows that communication and compassion is key to a successful outcome.
