Posted by Mary | September 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Will/Living Trust

She was very thorough in helping get all my paperwork together. Explained who I needed to contact and what steps needed to be done to get my will/living trust in order. Was very kind and supportive at an extremely difficult time.

Review

I contacted Michelle to help me with my divorce. She was prompt in returning phone calls and emails. She answered my questions clearly, and she got the job done quickly. She was organized and offered helpful advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
