My go to lawyer for myself and my family

Michelle and her team was a blessing. She got my dui charge and possession completely dismissed and her team was amazing. I’m so grateful. Thank you Ms. Cross!

When I called she answered every time Not the usual waiting game

I’ve had to deal with lawyers more that I’d like to admit but I’ve never had the opportunity of working with someone who was ACTUALLY RESPONSIVE to all my questions and annoying calls. I didn’t get the paralegal when I called she answered. I will be using Atlanta’s law firm for all my future legal ne...eds!

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.
