Fantastic attorney with workplace insight

Michelle could not have been more wonderful helping me navigate a difficult exit from my employer. In addition to her command of employment law, Michelle has a nuanced understanding of office dynamics and politics, offering truly practical, strategic guidance that helped me secure the best outcome fr...om my employer. Michelle was empathetic and supportive, making a stressful process feel manageable.

I want to thank Michelle for her great service. Michelle went over and beyond to ensure an optimal outcome. I never felt like a number and she ensure that my voice was heard during the process. I would highly and unreservedly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a excellent attorney with a hum...an touch!

Very Professional and Helpful

I reached out to Michelle to get assistance on reviewing an Employment Incentive contract. She was very professional and offered me multiple options in terms of her services. Once we aligned on the service, I was appreciative of her quality of work and her quick turnaround. I highly recommend her ...for all of your legal needs around Employment and Labor.
