I help parents understand and navigate Michigan's child support system. I also write legal blog articles for other attorneys.
All law schools are not created equal, and I graduated from top-tier Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law, with honors and a member of the SMU International Law Review. I scored at the 99th percentile on the ACT, the 90th percentile on the LSAT and about the 94th percentile on the bar exam. In high school, I won awards for achievement in math, and I'm proud to be in the minority of attorneys who enjoy number crunching. I can help you understand Michigan's child support system, or help you write a fun and informative article for your legal blog.

Guardian Angel!
My husband and I have been through hell with the family court system regarding support, custody, and a biological mother that just wants to exploit the system her children and my husband for financial gain. Just like everyone else's reviews Michelle responded in less than 24 hrs. She was kind sincere...

Michelle Steffen delivered at a rough time in my life.
In my dealings with Mrs. Steffen, I found her to be very informative and compassionate concerning my needs. I highly recommend her for custody cases and family law. Thank you Michelle!
