The BEST!!!

It was a pleasure having Michelle represent me in my case. She is extremely knowledge and went over and beyond on my behalf. She was always available to answer any questions I had and looked out for my best interest. She is so professional and trustworthy and I would definitely recommend her to anyb...ody going through any dispute with their automobile insurance company.

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.
