Michelle F. Achterberg

I did extensive research before I purchase products or services and all of the previous reviews about this attorney are 100% correct. I had probably one of the most complicated child custody cases a court can see and with her due diligence, wit and humor Michelle and her assistant Malori made the pr...ocess a lot easier to deal with.

Michelle did not miss a single note when dealing with my situation. This kind woman helped me get more time with my children and enforced accountability with my ex wife. Michelle was very caring and attentive to my specific wants and needs. She simply made things happen!! My current wife a...nd I are overly great full for the success that came Out of everything. I get more time with my children!!! and in the near future and continuing on a healthy co-parenting plan with their mother. If you need help and/or what to get powerful results, I would STRONGLY you consult with Michelle and retain her because she has your back and knows what she is doing!! Her assistant Malori was right there with her every step of the way as well and I can’t say enough about the both of them!!! Thank you ladies for giving me the road to positively impacting my children’s life and being a good father.

Thank you Achterberg Welch Law Office for providing us with a professional yet empathetic approach to gain the best outcome for our situation. Michelle was excellent in explaining the processes and in representing us in Court. We can’t thank you enough for all your demanding work and advice! It’s be...en such a blessing to have Michelle and Malori help us through this long-distance custody issue as we live outside the state of Wisconsin. Both of you helped us through this case and really cared about our family. Family law issues are emotionally draining for all involved. Once we Googled your name and reached out to your office, we quickly realized you were the right representation for our needs. We thank you for your honesty, integrity, and reasonable rates. You’ve made an extreme difference in our journey! You have restored our faith in an attorney’s ability to effectively consult and represent our family law needs.

Michelle initially co-counseled and then soloed a number of post-decree custody matters for me. While her years in practice may be more limited than some ... her commitment and honesty are more boundless than most. Michelle seems to appreciate the personal stress and confines of the situation and i...s fair and understanding regarding her fees. Her legal assistant, Malori, deserves similar accolades. Together, they were a great team to work with and through a very difficult situation. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending, and would personally seek Michelle's representation again in future custody matters.

I was referred to Michelle and then hired her for a custody dispute. Initially this was a time sensitive matter and Michelle went above what she must to make sure all was handled efficiently for my son and me. She was extremely knowledgeable about the entire system and wasn't afraid to be blunt and h...onest about everything. I've had other attorneys and dealt with more over the course of the last decade and this is the first time that I didn't feel completely helpless through the process. As a male in family court we fight an uphill battle and Michelle made sure that every fact was brought forward to leave no dispute as to who was being honest or what were reasonable options. Michelle isn't the cheapest attorney out there, but she's absolutely not unreasonable with what she charges. Dollar for dollar I couldn't be happier with the outcome, all things considered.
