Ellen K. Michaels

In August 2025, I was arrested in my home and accused of domestic violence. Once I got out of jail, I knew I needed to get a really good Attourney. So I used Google and sought out many different lawyers, but then came across Ellen. I read her Bio and was intrigued by her results, honesty, and work e...thic. I lived in Birmingham & her office was in Birmingham. She is very well connected within the Birmingham- Bloomfield Hills court system. She is extremely intelligent and has a very warm side of her. Ellen is not only very thorough, Knowledgeable & professional, but she was very loving and caring person as well. I knew in my heart, mind and soul that I had the right person to defend my honor. I went ahead and hired her as my criminal defense attorney. She did amazing job in negotiating & getting me out of a lot of trouble. I did exactly what she told me to do and she was Excellent. Not just in the courtroom, but with everything that she did for me. My case was dismissed right out of the gate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! For anybody looking for an outstanding attorney? Look no further because Ellen is it! I walked out of that courtroom with 1,000,000 pounds lifted off my shoulders. Ellen is not only my go to lawyer for anything I need in the future, but I can also call her my friend. Thank you!

Ellen personally called me back within 30 minutes of me leaving a message. She was professional, knowledgeable and accomplished my miracle. I called and texted her several times, she always either picked up, texted back or called me back within a short period of time. I had a fraud conviction and rec...eived 1 yr probation and the case will be dismissed after that time.

When I first contacted Ellen for a consultation, she was very professional and convincing that she’d help me. That quickly changed once I hired her. Her communication skill were beyond terrible. I never heard from her until we would both show up to the court dates; which she showed up to every single... one unreasonably late. I tried to be an adult and reached out about the lack of communication, but it’s like it went in one ear and out the others. Only random messages I would get from her was about payments; as if I didn’t what I owed her. She didn’t do any footwork, research or negotiating leading up to walking into the courtroom, so we’d both go in not knowing what to expect. From day one she said she’d keep me out of jail, but she failed and I know that it’s ultimately the judges decision but she didn’t even put up a fight. When we stood in front of judges, she was just as lost for words as me. I could go on about how terrible of an experience I had, but I’ll sum it up and say paying her was a complete waste. Do your research before you choose her please!

Ms. Michaels truly knows the law and goes above and beyond for her clients. She fights incredibly hard for her clients in order to get the best possibly outcomes. I have referred people to her who have also been incredibly content with her work. She is extremely attentive to her clients and there thr...ough every step of the legal process. She answered all my calls, texts and emails promptly. She also answered all questions I had thoroughly and ensured I understood the legal process. Ms. Michaels is an incredible attorney and I would use her again and recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

Ms. Michaels went above and beyond what was necessary! She is unbelievably smart, dedicated and caring. Ms. Michaels knows the law, fights really hard for her clients and truly cares about them. I have used her myself and have referred many people to her; everyone has only positive things to say abo...ut her. She returns calls promptly, takes the time to explain everything involved in the case and the options available. Ms. Michaels is unbelievably compassionate and yet very tough in court. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney!!!
