Michelle F. Achterberg

If you look above here, on the About Michelle section it says this: “Approachable and down-to-earth Eau Claire law firm”. Truer words are not spoken. Michelle is a blend of caring, kind, insightful human coupled with dogged professionalism. I work with attorneys of all types in my day to day job.... In comparison, Michelle’s command of the law, the practical application of it and of the necessary relationships needed to yield a positive outcome is exemplary. That said, where Michelle really shines is in strategy, dare I say, YOUR strategy. She will work with you every step of the way, and she is clear in what each step is, and how to approach it. Michelle works hand in hand with her highly capable and equally professional para-legal Malori. They are so closely paired they would often surprise me at how much they were in sync – as a single mind. This unique partnership is an added note of expertise that is hard to beat. I can say without hesitation that Michelle will always have your best interests at heart, she won’t take the case unless she can make that commitment. Her philosophy of taking on a limited client count at any time yields these personal results, and her disarming humor belies her stone cold advocacy for your case. Michelle is an absolute bulldog. I consider her one of the finest attorney’s I have ever worked with, and her representation of me was flawless. Eau Claire is fortunate to have such a high caliber individual make this her community. I can say without reservation, use her services.

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.

Michelle represented me in a divorce case. I surely enjoyed working with Michelle and her paralegal Malori. This particular case went to trial, which resulted in a positive outcome. Michelle was highly prepared and professional! I loved her sense of humor at times when it was needed! She cares a...bout her clients and it shows through her expertise. I would recommend attorney Michelle to anyone in need of representation.

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.

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.
