Compassionate and tough

Michelle does a great job. She was easy to get ahold of and knew how to handle my case to get great results without costing me my life savings.

Posted by anonymous | September 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

I Absoulutely Love Michelle!

I have a had a very difficult case to deal with. Michelle has been by my side, guided and reassured me through the process. My situation has gone from horrible to progressively better, and will only get better with her by my side. She treats you with respect and listens to concerns. Michelle truly wa...nts the best for her clients and she fights full force. Thanks Michelle for all you do!

Incompetent

I didn't think it was possible for a lawyer to frustrate the legal system into her favor only to end up losing my case. Michelle has the rare ability to be both unprepared and uninterested while maintaining just enough practice to keep her license. I should've listened to all the other attorney revie...ws but she was the cheapest option - you get what you pay for.

Michelle Mclean

Replied last September 15, 2018

This is a false post because I have not “lost” any cases. This person is not a client; I am guessing that this person was an opposing party who did not like that I beat him or her so badly in court. Customer service is paramount to me, and ensuring that my clients get the best legal representation and get great results is of paramount importance to me and my firm. I intend to fully investigate these false, slanderous, libelous, and derogatory posts and see that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Divorce

Michelle was there for me in a very tough time in my life. I did not expect my case to be so emotionally draining and I just did not have it in me to fight. Michelle came through for me. It felt good knowing that she was looking out for me and had my back. She got me what was fair and I am please...d. Another thing I can say is that Michelle has been blessed with the gift of wisdom by the Holy Spirit. Thanks Michelle.

Past client

Michelle really helped me out in a dispute over my property's boundary line. We sued the neighbors for building a fence and garage on our property and won.
