Couldn't be happier!! Amazing soul!!
Michele went beyond what I expected with my case. My case was dis established paternity and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

"I had the pleasure of opposing Attorney Bernard in a divorce case that seemed destined for a multi-day trial. By being professional, honest and clear in negotiables/non-negotiables we were able to find a win-win for our respective clients. I found Attorney Bernard to be extremely organized and prepared at pre-trial hearings. If I were going through a domestic relations case I would hire her to represent me."
"I was granted the pleasure of working with Ms. Bernanrd in a case that we were both concerned would not settle. With her guidance and professionalism we were able to help both of our clients with a positive outcome. I was impressed with Ms. Bernard's professionalism and dedication to the profession and focusing on what is best for the child in this case and both parties. I still frequently reach out to her for counsel and would comfortably send her clients should I have a conflict."
"Attorney Bernard fights for her clients with a high level of ethical representation. I am pleased to endorse her."
