Michelle F. Achterberg

I had plans to get married last spring. 25 years ago, I had gotten married. Shortly thereafter, we went our separate ways. I hired a lawyer in the state we both lived in at the time, and I thought the divorce was complete. Fast-forward 25 years, and I was shocked that I was still married. So I hired ...Michelle and she was so amazing. It was definitely an odd circumstance. Not only could he not be found but he is also a Canadian citizen and so I didn't know if he was in the U.S. or Canada. Michelle took things in stride and took care of everything. I didn't have to worry. She did all the research and was competent, reliable, and I couldn't recommend her more!

Michelle and her staff were wonderful to work with through my divorce and the difficult custody battle. Michelle was always willing to go above and beyond, represented me professionally, and gave fast responses to emails. She made me feel heard and understood. She was honest and realistic. I highly r...ecommend Michelle to represent anyone who requires legal representation!

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.

If you are getting a divorce hire her immediately! Run to her office! I went through a messy year long divorce where I stood to lose everything. Michelle was with me every step of the way. She kept me well informed, never backed down to my exe's lawyer, fought for me in court and when my ex didn't ...follow our divorce decree, she didn't hesitate to drag him back to court. Her rates were very fair and she was willing to work with me financially. Michelle has had my best interests in mind at every turn and never slowed down or backed away. She is who you want representing you. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for her passion and dedication. Her legal assistant Malori is on top of everything and easy to talk too as well. Her office is easy to find and conveniently located to everything with covered parking. ( In case you want to be incognito. ) What are you waiting for? Run! NOW!
