About Michelle
Biography
I am passionate about the practice of law. I love being an advocate for Plaintiff who has suffered at the hands of a negligent party, who just wants to get their life back on track. Specifically, I am consistently driven and energized to be an advocate for those who've been commonly unheard, overlooked, and oppressed.
I am blessed to be able to further serve as a Guardian Ad Litem for youth involved in civil matters including but not limited to minor's settlements, abuse, neglect & dependency cases, and private custody matters.

Client
Horrible experience!!! I would most definitely not recommend! This Lady has been owing me the rest of my settlement for over a year now! Still have yet not reached out to me or my insurance company about my medical bills! Very unprofessional, I would never spend another penny with this establishment ...

"Ebony works hard for her clients. She cares deeply about them and their cases. If you don't know her, you should!"

"I endorse this lawyer. Michelle is an excellent professional and is knowledgeable in her field."
"Michelle is PASSIONATE about helping children reach their potential. She recently mentioned to me that it's "rewarding" to help her juvenile clients navigate the system and come out on the other side with a sense of hope that their lives matter and will be better. We need attorneys like Michelle because it takes a special person to deal with children who've been through so much turmoil. If you or your child needs help, call Michelle."
"I endorse this lawyer. In all of my years of knowing her, she has been a brilliant advocate for her clients."
