Michelle F. Achterberg

Michelle represented me in a divorce and was very respectful to both parties. She answered all my questions and was very honest about possible outcomes. She was very well organized and made sure that any information needed for the case was available at the hearing. But more than anything she was co...mpassionate and understanding and was in my corner through the whole process. Malori was very efficient and kept things moving along. Together Michelle and Malori are a great team and the outcome was much better than I expected. I am so grateful to these two - thank you both.

As a parent who has worked with several lawyers throughout multiple cases, Michelle has been, by far, the best lawyer for me! She fought hard for me and my family, she was always willing to work with me and even when we didn't win everything we had hoped for, she still was fighting for me and definit...ely compassionate. Her and her assistant, Malori, are always easy to talk to and communicate with, they are efficient, and honestly felt like they had good team work. Both ladies, were always thorough with paperwork and made sure all details matched and were lined up. In my opinion, I would not use another lawyer! Definitely a team that deserves 5/5 stars

I would give Michelle 10 out of 5 stars if I could. What I thought would be a long, stressy, expensive and combative alteration of a maintenance order was smooth and fast. Most importantly, Michelle and Malori ran the show competently and efficiently to get this all done out of court. They are not af...raid to defuse nerves with humor and unfailingly respond to questions and concerns quickly in ways that are reassuring rather than terrifying. I can honestly say her services were worth every penny and then some. I can’t speak to any of her other specialties, but if you have a family law issue this is the attorney you want on your side. Get her before the other side does!

Michelle and Malori are the best in the area! Not only are they available when you need them, as a father they support your fight to stay in your children’s life, regardless of the uphill battle that one may face. My battle was long and arduous, and expensive! However, the fight to stay in my... children’s life without their help would have been longer and even more expensive in the long long run. They were understanding in a very complicated situation. Also the rates are extremely reasonable for the area and they fight just as hard as anyone else. They charge you reasonably and always with the understanding that they work for you and your best interest while balancing what needs to be done and when. I hope not to have to employ their services again, but if I do it will be without any hesitation. I truly recommend Michelle and Malori for your divorce needs.

Divorce is not easy and having the extra pressure of the law requirements and necessary filing she really did take an incredible amount of pressure off of me. We went through a lot of intense negotiating and she made a point in handling those difficult conversations for me. She went above and beyond ...in addressing the financial and legal discussions to which helped in maintaining the best possible relationship with my ex and the father of my child. I could not have done it without her and I appreciate her help more than she knows.
