About Michelle
Biography
I am an attorney with over ten years’ experience specializing in bankruptcy matters. I primarily represent debtors in Chapter 7 and 13 matters, as well as individuals who need to reorganize under Chapter 11. I also represent creditors in Chapter 7 and 13 matters, particularly domestic support creditors seeking to enforce or protect their rights under the terms of a Divorce Judgment, in the wake of an ex-spouse's bankruptcy filing. I offer a free initial consultation for all prospective clients. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your bankruptcy related matter. I treat all matters with the utmost respect, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality during this difficult time in your life. I am efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and can assure you that I will deliver the highest quality, personalized service of any consumer bankruptcy specialist in Michigan. It would be my pleasure to work with you.

Michelle Hutton Bass's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Michelle has extensive knowledge regarding consumer bankruptcy law. Specifically, she has a long record of success representing Chapter 13 debtors. I have personally referred clients to Michelle on many occasions. Each and every client was more than satisfied and complimentary of her. Michelle is the only attorney I would recommend for consumer bankruptcy help."
"Michelle is truly a zealous advocate for her clients, and is one of the relatively rare attorneys who cares passionately about her clients and will work tirelessly to obtain the best results for them. I have witnessed Michelle masterfully argue multiple cases, including a case Michelle argued all the way up to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals (one step below the U.S. Supreme Court), obtaining a judgment in her client's favor on all counts. Michelle's skill in bankruptcy law is second to none, and Michelle has become an invaluable resource to me as an expert in all aspects of consumer bankruptcy."
