A Great Lawyer!

Michele was the full package. She has a broad understanding of negotiation and procedure, but also was caring and listened to the emotional aspects of the case. She is a skilled and experienced litigator, and won my complex case agajnst a “big guns” firm, because she knew my case inside and out. I hi...ghly recommend her!

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.)

Fantastic Full Service Lawyer

I came to Michele's office to draft a will. She was fast, accurate and economical. Then when my father passed away a few years later, she handled the estate quickly and with compassion. She also handled my sister's divorce and did a great job. Her pricing is fair, her experience is vast, and ...she always replies quickly to my calls. It is nice to have an attorney that I can trust that can handle various issues as they arise in life.

Very Disappointed!

I hired Michele for Family Law after my ex-husband was trying to obtain full custody of our teenager. I was compelled to use Michele after she had explained that she had a teenager as well and could empathize with my situation. She had all of the right answers and knowledge of the Florida Statutes an...d Laws. However, after a year and thousands of dollars later nothing had been resolved. I was billed for numerous phone conversations between my ex-husband's attorney and Michele. She did not look out for my best interests or help me fight for my son. During the last three months of her service, she stopped returning my phone calls and there was minimal correspondence. Because of her incompetence I was left with no other option, but to fire her and had her remove herself from my case. With my retainer used up and additional monies paid, I had to represent myself. It was a horrible stressful time for my family and I knew that it would be and that is why I decided to hire an attorney.

Replied last April 22, 2019

I am so saddened to read this. My recollection and notes from your case are far different than what you have submitted, in fact so much so that at first I questioned whether you were a client of mine. I do now remember you, and when I signed off your case, you told me you had reached an agreement with your ex and that my services were no needed due to the agreement. I absolutely did have your best interests at heart, and I understand that litigation can be frustrating and expensive. When dealing with teenagers, it is difficult as they are often old enough to voice an opinion, whether or not their opinion is in their best interests. I wish you and your family the best.

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.
