Michelle Elaine Dahlquist

I had been in divorce court for nearly a year when Michelle Dahlquist stepped in to rescue me! It had been a year of court cancellations and continuances by my ex-husband, the petitioner, and his representation. At my complimentary consultation with Michelle, she immediately recognized that my ex-...husband's retirement had marital value to me. Michelle took a proactive approach by meticulously analyzing all financial records and identifying areas overlooked by previous counsel. She focused on my ex-husband's 401 (k), leveraging her family law expertise to effectively argue the marital value. Her strategy included engaging a financial expert to strengthen my case and ensure the Court recognized my rightful share. In less than a year, Michelle proved to the Court the marriage value of his 401K, resulting in my receiving 50% of what was truly due to me. Michelle was empathetic and understanding, especially as a senior woman in the midst of a highly challenging life stage. She was professional with the opposing team, but was sure-footed and victorious! Thank you, Michelle.

Michelle has supported me in managing my post-divorce litigation for the past 3 years. She has demonstrated excellent legal prowess in thwarting multiple challenges to my MSA by my ex-wife. Michelle has been very responsive to phone and email inquiries and takes the time to listen to my concerns an...d explain the benefits / risks of different potential courses of action relative to the issue at hand. She breaks the stereotype of a 'typical lawyer' by showing empathy and general concern for what can be very stressful and challenging circumstances.

Michelle is terrific. She helped me navigate a very tricky scenario where post divorce I was continually being taken back to court. She was able to work with effectively and efficiently through trials to not only get the court to dismiss numerous charges, but to also rule in my favor to help me maint...ain near full custody. There was never a moment that I felt like I was out-lawyered or outwitted. She will continue to be my go to and I highly recommend her for anyone dealing with a complex custody matter or even someone wanting to keep a divorce amicable, but ensuring that the result is balanced and fair. Highly recommended.

I have been working with Michelle for the past 5 years since i filed for divorce the very first time .As the process was long and complicated I always felt safe because she was guiding me trough every step and we overcome every challenge than we faced . I did recommend Mrs Dahlquist to many of my fri...end who needed to go trough a divorce process as I wanted the best for them. A lawyer who always fight for your rights and get the best for you . As painful as it is ,with her you feel strong and safe . Highly recommend Mrs Dahlquist for anyone who are going troughs divorce. Know your rights, know how the process goes and having trustworthy lawyer guide you trough.

I was very impressed after reading the numerous excellent reviews from Michelle’s former clients. After having a consultation with Michelle, I knew I wanted her to represent me. She is an extremely skilled attorney with a wide range of abilities. The combination of her intellect, communication ski...lls, determination, poise, integrity and professionalism sets her apart from the other attorneys I considered. Divorce matters are very complex but she didn’t miss anything and was very detail oriented and always focused on all aspect of the case over the years I worked with her. I was impressed by her crystal clear thought process and her ability to remember details and facts she read months ago. She has strong analytical abilities, and always knew what was relevant and what wasn’t relevant. She has excellent timing and always knew what to say and when to say it. She also has excellent writing abilities, works very efficiently, and was always punctual. She worked extremely well under pressure and always remained calm, cool, and collected. She was confident and fearless. Some attorneys said they were strong collaborators, some said they were fierce litigators, but Michelle is excellent at both. If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with Michelle and go over your case and your questions/concerns with her. You’ll see why you’ll want her to represent you too, and you’ll see why all these numerous excellent reviews are an accurate description of how skilled of an attorney she is. I also have a lot of respect for her partner Brian, who is an amazing attorney as well. Michelle and Brian run a first class law firm with a wonderful support staff that does very accurate work. I feel blessed that I met such a fine group of people to represent me during my divorce.
