Michelle Ann McIntyre

Michelle tells you what you want to hear at the initial consultation. Even if she KNOWS that she can't win the case, she will tell you she can. ($$$) She did VERY little to no prep for my hearing and had about a year to prepare! Near the end of all those months, she tells me that - by law - our ca...se cannot proceed. She was wrong! We (client) pushed and it continued. So, clearly, she doesn't know the law! Her billing system was horrendous - giving two different dates for each service line item, billing for things she didn't do (like subpoenas), adding tax to services, etc. When I mentioned that I wasn't happy with her services thus far, she threatened to drop me as a client. She knew she had me over a barrel and couldn't start again with another attorney after a ton of money had been put into her, and the hearing was just a couple of weeks away. She begged me to drop the hearing up until the moment of the hearing. I believe she just didn't want the "loss" on her record and /or KNEW she wasn't prepared. If she knew all that time that we wouldn't win the case, she never should have taken it - and especially asked for a second retainer fee that was exhausted within a week or two. At the actual hearing, she had approximately six questions scratched out on a piece of paper (that I'm relatively certain she did while we were AT the courthouse) to ask the opposing witness. There were approximately three other people in the courtroom who she should have called to the stand to testify as well and she never called any other witness. She had actually told me NOT to bring any evidence that I had spent months collecting for her to the hearing that day because, she said, we would not be presenting evidence or doing testimony at that particular hearing. AGAIN, she was wrong!!! Testimony was taken and I was not given an opportunity to supply any evidence / paperwork, etc. She blew this horribly! Near the end of my time retaining her, I had read a lot of negative reviews about her online (check the various online attorney review sites - Had I seen them earlier, I would have certainly gone with another attorney) which indicated the same problems with her that I had. One person said she lost their entire file! Being prepared doesn't seem to be a strong suit for her. I highly recommend NOT retaining her. She walked away with thousands of dollars for doing relatively nothing on my case.

Michelle was there to assist me though very difficult divorce with children in 2014. She was always there to meet with me and had a quick response to any questions or concerns that I had. She always kept me up to date with the process. Over the last 8 years, I have faced repeating challenges with chi...ld support issues. Michelle has met with me on short notice, taken my phone calls and guided me through these challenging situations. I highly recommend Michelle as a trusted advisor and advocate. One thing to keep in mind is to interview each lawyer, and judge for yourself. I met with three to four attorneys before selecting Michelle. One person's bad review is not necessarily the true representation of everyone's experience. Excellent attorney.

Michelle came highly recommended by a friend/business professional. She was excellent with communicating how to achieve my desired results concerning my divorce. She laid out concisely what our strategy would be and how to execute it. She instructed and advised clearly in regard to child support, ...spousal support, division of property, etc. She was heart felt in her approach and I felt that she could relate to what I was going through. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone struggling with the weighty issue of divorce.
