Highly Recommend

My husband and I hired Michelle to gain custody of his daughter. This was our first time ever dealing with a lawyer, but our experience was great. Michelle went above and beyond our expectations. She was very easy to talk with, very understanding, and kept us posted on everything that was going on.... On the day of court the child's mother ended up settling but I know without a doubt that even if she wouldn't have settled, Michelle would have won our case for us.

Michelle was great! I would and have recommended her to friends! She was very helpful and kept me informed throughout the whole process. She was very accommodating to my work schedule as well.

Awesome Attorney!!

Michelle was awesome!! She was very concerned and attentive to my case. The best interest of my children was always a priority to her. Michelle always made me feel comfortable and always had time to listen to what I had to say. I highly recommend her!!

"Having known Michelle for over 20 years, it comes as no surprise whatsoever to hear of the success that she is having in her practice. Michelle grew up in huge blended family so it's no wonder that she found her passion in family law. I just recently had a very dear friend from Kentucky contact me about filing for divorce. Although I am a family law attorney myself, I do not practice in Kentucky. I sent my friend to Michelle without hesitation."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse and recommend Michelle to anyone seeking assistance with a family law matter in Western Kentucky. Michelle is dedicated, knowledgable, and genuinely cares about her clients. As a practicing family law attorney in Louisville, Kentucky myself, I am glad to have a reliable colleague in the western part of the state. I grew up in Paducah, and find it comforting to know that should any of my personal friends or family members in that area need legal assistance, Michelle will be able to help."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have always been impressed with Michelle's dedication to her clients. She works hard to develop their cases, keeping them out of lengthy court fights when possible but arguing vigorously in court when that's the best option for them. While she is aggressive in fighting for her clients in court, I have seen her be respectful and compassionate in dealing with her clients."

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.
