Horrible lawyer, BEWARE

This woman should not be practicing law in any capacity. Not only is she unprofessional, but she charges for things that she did NOT do, but she neglects to do the things she is SUPPOSED to do. BEWARE if your relationship with your children is at stake. I will be filing a complaint with the bar asso...ciations.

Overcharges, Postpones at client’s expense

Michelle petitioned to postpone my case several times at my expense. We’d get into the court room, and she’d ask for another continuance without my consent. I went to another lawyer and the matter was resolved in 15 minutes.

All promise, no delivery

Waited for months for a court date, Ms. Schurman called in sick, kicking my case down the road another 6 weeks. Then on finding I was running low on cash, filed to withdraw her services saying that she believed I was unhappy, she never spoke with me in person about it, just an email. Huge waste of 2K.... Save your money, find a more reputable and professional attorney. I have been waiting over a year to get my personal effects from my home.

Horrible

was overcharged repeatedly. Never followed up. Doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of the law.

Awesome lawyer

I have hired Michelle several times over 20 years. She charges no more than any other reputable lawyer and always delivers. She has always been pleasant and easy to work with. I would trust her on any case. Highly recommend her!!
