Michelle Elaine Dahlquist

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.

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.

When I decided I needed to find a divorce attorney, I researched highly rated ones in my area. I met with a couple attorneys and after meeting Michelle, I knew she was the perfect fit for me. I only got to the lobby and turned back into her office and told her that she was hired. My divorce (like ...most) was complicated and from the start, Michelle was understanding and listened to all my questions and concerns and she offered excellent advice. She took the time and answered all my questions and really put herself in my shoes to help me make the best decisions for myself and my young children. I noticed that Michelle is also very respected in the court room and with her peers. When my divorce was almost final and things were getting more complicated, she stood up for me when I couldn't. When anyone goes through divorce, it is very emotional and Michelle always understood that and helped guide me in the right direction. Michelle is trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, kind and loyal to her clients and I will definitely recommend her to others.

Michelle did exactly what I was looking for. During our initial phone call and consultation she knew the timeline I was looking for and she met that expectation and got it done sooner! She listened to every request and always responded within a reasonable time. Her professionalism is the best! ... Even on the day of the divorce as much as I was excited to get it over with she knew how hard it was going to be and she stood right by my side and made sure I was ready and she eased my nerves! Thank you Michelle for guiding me and keeping me focused during my divorce you are awesome! Anyone that I know who would need her professional service I will make sure to pass her name and contact information along.

Ms. Dahlquist is truly a professional attorney and extremely knowledgeable. Everything she did was fully explained to me before she took any action. Although my divorce ended years ago, there was much confusion with the way my pension was divided. Because of her careful research and experience, I fin...ally got the representation needed. She restored my confidence in the legal system that seldom sides with the husbands.
