Disappointing experience with Michelle Moore

I recently had the unfortunate experience of hiring Michelle, a criminal defence attorney, and I must say that I was deeply disappointed with her services. Throughout the entire process, she exhibited a lack of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that left me feeling let down and unsupported. ... First and foremost, Michelle's communication skills were severely lacking. She consistently failed to respond to my calls and emails in a timely manner, leaving me in a state of anxiety and uncertainty. It was incredibly frustrating to be left in the dark regarding important updates and developments in my case. Her lack of responsiveness made me question her commitment to my legal representation. Furthermore, Michelle's legal knowledge and expertise were questionable at best. During our consultations, she seemed ill-prepared and uninformed about the specifics of my case. I expected a criminal defence attorney to possess a deep understanding of the law and to provide strategic guidance, but Michelle's advice often felt vague and generic. It became apparent that she had not invested the necessary time and effort to thoroughly analyze my situation. In addition to her lack of preparation, Michelle's courtroom performance was underwhelming. Her arguments lacked conviction and persuasive power, failing to effectively advocate for my rights and interests. Her inability to present a strong defense greatly diminished my confidence in her abilities as an attorney. It was disheartening to witness her lackluster representation, especially considering the gravity of my legal situation. Lastly, the fees charged by Michelle were exorbitant considering the subpar level of service I received. It felt as though I was paying a premium for a service that did not meet even the basic standards of competence and professionalism. The financial burden added insult to injury, compounding my dissatisfaction with her overall performance. In conclusion, my experience with Michelle as my criminal defence attorney was deeply disappointing. Her lack of responsiveness, questionable expertise, subpar courtroom performance, and high fees left me feeling unsupported and disillusioned. I would not recommend her services to anyone seeking effective legal representation in criminal defense matters. It is crucial to find an attorney who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly committed to protecting your rights, and unfortunately, Michelle fell far short of these expectations.

Fraud & injustice

This lady is a complete hypocrite she gives jail sentences for the most frivolous crimes. I bet her own peers she would do slap on the wrist if any county workers gets in trouble. The movement for injustice for prosecutors start with Norton she should be ashame to even be a lawyer for other countie...s. This lady will give life sentence for spilling water in dupage court room. This is where injustice starts with her.

Great empathetic human being

A few years back I was getting into a lot of trouble kind of like I am now and Michelle really looked after me I didn’t hire her as a lawyer during the one time as my case is dismissed as we thought we were going to be working together she was very professional and one thing I really like the people ...do is take pride in their job and their work and she does and the person that says she has an agenda, Maybe you’re just not the sharpest knife in the drawer she doesn’t have an agenda she has goals and is driven enjoys what she does so it’s not an agenda it’s a plan a plan to continue to be a good person and a good lawyer and she’s doing exactly what she wants to do good for her

The Best!

I worked with Michelle on purchasing my first home and I’m so grateful I did! I felt so protected and calm through the whole process. Being new to it I knew nothing but anytime there was any small issue I worried and then Michelle would explain it and tell me not to worry at all and that reassurance ...was such a relief! Just her expertise was such a comfort and my closing was so smooth. She explained everything I signed and didn’t rush me and I can’t say enough good things about her!

DUI? Skip.. seriously

I used Michelle for my DUI case, as have some of my friends. I truly do not think she is ethical and has her own agenda. My case is old (2012) but I was just reviewing a great attorney so thought I’d mention my poor feelings on Michelle. If you have a DUI, she will preface that she cares but in hinds...ight.. I wish I would have hired anyone else. Literally. Anyone else. As do my friends.

This is a fake review; I’ve never had a personal “agenda” other than to provide the best representation and secure the best results for my clients. I tell all of my clients that their best outcomes will happen if they follow my advice; those who do as I advise, typically have very favorable dispositions on their cases. I would love for “Jen” and “her friends” to contact my office and discuss their concerns directly so that I can address them properly — if they are legitimate.
