Michele Lynn Hobby

Michele and Ryan were amazing! In just 8 months (mostly because my ex delayed the process), we were able to come to an unexpected amicable agreement. I would highly recommend Michele Hobby as your next family attorney. She has a family of her own and knows how important it is to want to put them firs...t and do what is right by her client. Thank you again Michele for being so amazing!

Ms. Hobby is a great lawyer... she really cares for her clients. Michele has been amazing at helping me get through my legal issues. She is kind, caring and professional. She is quick to respond to my questions and always has my best interests at heart. I would highly recommend Michele Hobby's legal... services.

I had been married for 25 years, and for the last 5, my husband and I had been separated. Even during my separation, I did not think divorce would be beneficial for me. I suppose the thoughts came from fear of the unknown, but one day, I started to feel a strong urge to leave whatever was not functio...ning behind. I started my search on divorce, and after exploring books, websites, notes, and questions, my plan was to seek legal representation to draw up a divorce settlement. I wanted this process to be fast, harmonious, and the settlement to be fair. I had consultations with several attorneys in Lake County, and I become more and more discouraged. They caused unnecessary apprehension in me by talking about the process, always anticipating the worst. Each session was an honest presentation of what could happen, how the system works, how much money it will cost, and one lawyer even told me that I am better off not going through with it. I remember thinking: I am not a fighter, and I wanted to do this peacefully, but I could just hire someone to fight for me if it is the only approach today. However, my faith kept repeating: there must be another way. Do not give up-you have a plan, do not give up! So, I continued my search. I signed the contract with Ms. Hobby the first time I met her during our consultation. The agreement states her services for a flat fee. During our meeting, she quietly listened to my situation, and patiently explained what could happen. This time, however, there were options for working together with integrity, helping each other respectfully, and negotiating successfully for a peaceful outcome. She was knowledgeable and precise, and during the time she talked to me, she reinforced my hope. Creating the settlement took some time, but we worked together closely. Ms. Hobby provided exactly what she promised. She was generous with her time when I requested corrections or changed my mind on issues, and she was patient when answering my questions. She was flexible, concerned, accommodating to my mistakes, and with her support and guidance, she helped me hold my faith strong. I felt protected. As the uncontested settlement was signed by my husband last week and by me this week, I am filled with gratitude. I believe Ms. Hobby is holding the space in the community for the ones who need legal representation and have faith in peaceful solutions. She can help the ones who have the courage to choose kindness, compassion, and understanding, even in the difficult proceeding of a divorce, as well as the ones who want to cultivate love and harmony because they believe that what they share, they strengthen.

A few years ago Michele assisted me in a law suit litigation that resulted in a positive outcome. I found her to be honest , timely, thorough, understanding and always available . I found her work ethic to be outstanding and I sincerely appreciated all of her efforts.i would highly recommend Michele... to anyone seeking an attorney who is capable trustworthy understanding and compassionate .

I made the mistake of going through a divorce several years without the advice of an attorney. The other party was difficult to deal with and was driven by greed without regard to the children caught in the middle. Michele was true professional from the first meeting. She listened and asked lots of q...uestions taking very detailed notes. I felt very comfortable discussing these difficult issues with her. Michele was very understanding. Michele was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She did a nice job thought out the entire process. In the end the outcome was very favorable. In hindsight I wish I would have known about Michele Hobby legal services years ago; I believe the divorce and child support would have been dealt with appropriately and fairly from the start. I truly appreciated all of her hard work. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone seeking an attorney.
