Michele Bass Lord

I had her as a court appointed lawyer for my child support/visitation case. Not only is she lazy, she is extremely unprofessional, always tries to handle court cases either the day of court minutes before or her excuse is always: I’m not available at this time. I can’t stand her. She’s deplorable and... should have her license revoked. She’s disgusting to the system.

I got a pretty serious traffic ticket and some other charges and was referred to Michele. Before I talked to Ms. Lord, I thought it was hopeless, that I would lose my job and my license. Michele gave me hope. She investigated my case, she went to court with me. She was confident and prepared. ... Because of her, I still have my license, my job, and can drive. I tell all my friends that need help to call her.

Unfortunately, Michelle is not the lawyer to hire if you are filing for a divorce with kids involved. She did not respond to our opposing counsels requests and continued to deny she ever received correspondence from them. However, my ex incessantly told me his lawyers were making contact with her ...and he had documentation/proof of this correspondence. When confronted....Michelle, has no response. I understand you maybe busy but your profession involves the livelihood of innocent kids and you need to prioritize your obligations and respond accordingly. Her procrastination and inconsistency cost me more money and prolonged our entire divorce unnecessary. It really appeared that she saw this as a cash cow opportunity because as a parent you will do anything to protect and do right for your children. I wish I would have asked about her earlier and I would have known her and her husbands track record. After the fact, a colleague of mine shared his experience with her. He was slammed in jail for failure to pay child support all because she never signed the documents and filed them with the judge. This is sloppy unprofessional and unnecessary monies being paid to someone who can not follow through.
