Very Professional

For over four years, we have used Jean Michel for things ranging from simple contract reviews, all the way up to legal disputes. Prior to him, we had used larger legal firms that made us feel like we were just another client and often times gave advice that was generic and lacked clear recommendatio...n. (i.e. “It’s up to you”, “We can litigate, if you’d like”) Jean has always given us sound advice even when it was not in his favor. We appreciate that no matter gets “dragged out” if it is not necessary just to get more billable hours. Jean is straight to the point and knows all the angles of the situation before discussing them with us.

CEO/Founder

Jean has been helpful to me on a number of occasions and circumstances. From helping to start my business to providing counsel throughout the course of my business, Jean has never failed to deliver exactly what was needed, when it was needed. As importantly, he provided guidance in advance to l...imit exposure going forward. I would hire him again in an instant. He is always the first name that comes to mind when I'm asked about high quality legal service and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I am happy to discuss particulars with anyone who would like a more detailed reference of Jean's work, work ethic and/or character.

I Highly Recommend This Attorney!

Jean Christian Michel always answers the phone when you call, returns calls promptly, is very reasonable in his fees, spends ample time addressing your concerns & questions and best of all always seems to give of his time generously without the feeling of you "being on the clock". He by far goes abov...e and beyond what most attorneys I've worked with have done. I highly recommend Jean Christian Michel.

I have had many opportunities to use attorneys, unfortunately, but in this case...it was an excellent experience and Jean is a true gentleman to work with, on any sort of legal issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
