Wonderful attorney

Michele is professional, intelligent, communicative and has a sense of humor. She helped make an otherwise unpleasant experience (divorce) go as smoothly as possible. Michele, with her knowledge, transparency and communication, helped me keep fees down and reach an amicable dissolution of marriage.... I would highly recommend Michele for legal services.

She’s fabulous

Ms. Belmont drew up my will and others documents for me. She was clear on cost and arranged everything perfectly. About a year later my dog was attacked by my neighbor’s pit bull. Although I was not injured, animal control suggested I contact an attorney. Michele was so wonderful and took her time ...to help me. I was very emotional and she was so kind and helpful. The neighbor was obnoxious and she dealt with his anger and lack of responsibility in an extremely professional manner. I highly, very highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, organized and dedicated to help the client. Was a really great experience for me. (She always asked how my dog was doing, she’s a good person.)

Kevin

I consider myself so very fortunate to have Michele Belmont representing me since I moved to Cape Coral. About 5 years ago I read numerous reviews online and decided to make an appointment to discuss having a Living Will, Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. Michele was so very helpful, not only ...listening to my questions, but explaining all the details in every paragraph that needed to be addressed. It was an easy decision to hire Michele, and she has guided me every step of the way through some difficult matters. Also, I called Michele a couple of years ago to help me with one of the most stressful periods of my life. It was very complicated situation that involved the possibility of losing my home, a bad relationship, a settlement agreement and much much more. One of the best decisions I have ever made was contacting and retaining Michele Belmont to handle all of my affairs. With this bad turn of events in my life Michele took over the reins, was right there with me all of the way and got me through this nightmare. By the way, I spoke to 4 other attorneys about this predicament I was in and in short, they were unprofessional and offered little hope. In my view, I can never say Thank You enough to Michele Belmont for all the assistance she has given me. For anyone considering retaining an attorney it would be foolish not to make an appointment with her. Kevin

Absolutely the best!!!

Michele is a GREAT attorney!!! I attained her services for an estate settlement after I had found her online. I live in a different county so I had no knowledge of anyone reputable in Lee County. I am very happy that I found Michele. My case only took a few months to settle. We had great communica...tion, she always kept me updated on what was happening. There was a lot of back and forth between myself and the other party but Michele handled it with ease. She was always very pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable. I'm extremely happy with her services and would absolutely recommend her. Her rates were VERY reasonable. I couldn't thank her enough for all she had done for me. To her it was probably an every day affair, it's what she does, but to me it meant a lot to know that she was on my side. THANK YOU MICHELE

Dissappointing

Michele is a knowledgeable attorney and gave me hope during initial consultation. However, in the few years she has been working with me, there has been little if any communication. Phone calls are not returned, emails are ignored. Very little paperwork filed if any. Disappointed and looking to find ...someone else.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am very sorry you had a bad experience with my firm. I strive for the highest client satisfaction in every case and I always encourage you to contact me directly to discuss your concerns. As you know, I provide my personal cell phone to each client, so I am always available to you. Since you chose to post your comment anonymously, it is impossible for me to know how you feel that I failed to meet your expectations. Impeccable customer service with excellent legal representation is how I established my reputation in the community, so I take client feedback very seriously. Should you wish to discuss your concerns with me, please call or email me directly at your convenience. Thank you.

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.
