Michelle Ann Estlund

I would like to forward this review for Michelle Ann Estlund, for whom I retained twice. I originally retained Ms. Estlund for a member of my family in regards to a criminal defense case . She was professional, concise, and on point. She provided us with a very favorable outcome which included pretri...al diversion and record sealing. We were very pleased at that point. As fate would have it , a year later I found myself in the same place, only worse. I was charged with two major felonies, and deeply entrenched in the legal justice system. I retained Michelle once again. let me say it again, her professionalism and knowledge of the justice system are paramount. She was always there for me whether by cell phone or meeting me at the office on a Saturday, always keeping me up to date with current situations. In the courtroom her experience was obvious, whether a motion or sounding, always on top of her game, providing the best direction possible. In the end, all the charges were dismissed, resulting in a Nolle Pros, which was the best possible outcome for both of us. Michelle went the extra mile as well seeing us through a return of property motion. A little stressful, but once again she prevailed. I cannot say enough how grateful to her I am.

I contacted Ms. Estlund after having been arrested for a petit theft incident. After a single call to her office, I was given an appointment right away. During our initial meeting, I explained the details of my incident. She was attentive and focused. After listening to what I had to say, she res...ponded with a wealth of information (very knowledgeable and experienced, she is) and was compassionate too. She gave me reassurance and peace of mind that I was in good hands. I left her office feeling and knowing that I had her full support and attention to my case. Needless to say, throughout the entire process she was superb. Shortly thereafter, my case was filed nolle prose. Ms. Estlund was detailed and thorough from start to finish. She was easy to reach too (by call and email). I could not be happier that she represented me as my legal counsel. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone. She is a realiable and professional attorney. Top-notch!

I was arrested and jailed on a battery (DV) charge against another male family member living at our home (I was defending my wife from him - can you believe the cops only arrested me after knowing this?). Once I was bailed out, I did a thorough search of attorneys - calling them, looking them up onl...ine, reading over client reviews - and after 2 weeks of researching, I was finally recommended to Mrs. Estlund. When I look over what has happened to me over the past year, I am truly thankful to have met her. Throughout the entire process I have found Mrs. Estlund to meet and exceed all of my expectations. Mrs. Estlund has always been timely with her management of my case, easy to reach (via a call or email), detailed with her explanations of what is going on, and compassionate about my situation and how incorrectly (at best) it was handled by police. From our initial meeting, Mrs. Estlund has shown me that she is truly interested in helping her clients. I have met other attorneys (for me and for family members) and I can tell you this, nothing makes a client feel better about themselves and their situation than an attorney who gives them their undivided attention. Mrs. Estlund listens to you, jots down all pertinent information, asks you a variety questions, and tries to understand what occurred. She does this with kindness and empathy. Another aspect of great counsel? Keeping the client informed on a periodic and as needed basis. In dealing with the prosecutor, Mrs. Estlund kept me informed through all the steps. She was always accessible (especially via email) and took the time to answer all of my questions. Mrs. Estlund's demeanor makes the client feel like they can reach out to her anytime, and that is something I find valuable in a counselor. At the end of this process, Mrs. Estlund was successful in convincing the State to drop the charge. I am currently working with her to process my expungement and in dealing with other matters that need attention due to this situation. Mrs. Estlund's counsel has been nothing but top-notch, and her office is always receptive and willing to help out. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who is professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking, Michelle Estlund is a great choice. I found a fantastic attorney. She has found a client for life.
