Michelle F. Achterberg

Michelle was recommended to me by another attorney that did not practice family law. She far exceeded my expectations & made a difficult situation and process easier for me and my family. She is an excellent communicator, and she gets things done efficiently. She is not just another lawyer taking on ...your case, she truly cares and makes sure she does everything she can to be in your corner and guide you! If you need an attorney for family law/custody matters, she should be your only choice.

A big change was needed for my children. They were not recieving the care they needed at the other parents house and were not doing well in the school they were in. Michelle helped me get primary placement and switch schools! My kids are now THRIVING. Her communication was great, always letting me k...now what I needed to provide. When we had our final hearing she presented everything in a very professional manner.

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 did such an amazing job advocating for me regarding my concerns. As a newly single dad, I was honestly very afraid of the process and what it might mean for my kids and I. She calmed me down very quickly at our first meeting, and continued to do so throughout the case. Michelle was very easy... to communicate with, and very clearly defined what I needed to do. I could not be happier with my decision to hire her, or the results of our case. Thank you so much!
