Michelle Judith Spirn

My divorce took about a year longer than it should have due to my ex’s crazy expectations and unreasonable demands. Michelle worked expertly in working with me, the judge, and opposing counsel to settle the case fairly and reasonably. She successfully argued a few nice wins in my favor (did not hav...e to pay ex’s attorney fees or 100% of private school). When my ex takes me back to court for some new crazy expectations , I will again hire the dynamic duo of Michelle and Alex to bring peace and order to the situation. I loved that Michelle even took steps to save me significant legal fees such as declining to go to a pre trial after we had our proposal sitting at my ex’s desk for a month with no counter. The judge agreed! Michelle and Alex took all the time I needed to explain and strategize with me. It was a wonderful experience during one of the hardest time of my life.

Michelle Spirn IS FANTASTIC I had the privilege of Michelle representing me in a family law matter, navigating filing from out of state, subsequent motion to modify, expert in cohabitation law, child sharing arrangement. Heed her advice- she called it from the start. She keeps in great communicatio...n, explains what she is thinking, and plans ahead next steps. Michelle doesn't push you, she facilitates you in the direction you want to go.

Michelle is knowledgeable, responsive and driven to get the best result for her clients. She is aggressive when the situation calls for it while also maintaining a child centered approach to litigation. She is one of the finest family law practitioners in St. Louis County, and I have seen her exper...tly handle divorces ranging from simple and straightforward to the most complex.

I hired Michelle Spirn for an urgent custody matter, and a subsequent motion to modify. I could not have been more pleased with her representation. Our communication, both in person and by email was pleasant, matter-of-fact, and positive. She let me know up front the good and the bad about the case a...nd gave me realistic expectations. When the case was completed, she had exceeded those expectations. I got more time with my children than I had expected. I felt like she went above and beyond for me and genuinely cared about my case. Her fee was very reasonable and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone needing an attorney in Family law.

I wanted to start out by saying how professional and legally equipped Michelle Spirn was in handling my very complicated divorce. She helped me move forward with no nonsense and always kept me focused, which can be difficult. This is obviously a very difficult time and Michelle made it right for me... and was conscientious about letting me get involved with the decisions, even meeting me at her office on the weekend, which is really unheard of. I loved that she was willing to accommodate my schedule. The entire process went faster than I expected and I feel that the results were fair. Really, the most important thing she did for me was to make sure I was getting a fair settlement and she was concerned that, in the beginning, I wasn't and stood up for me and that meant a great deal. As I said this is an emotional roller coaster and it is important to have a real professional look after your best interests. I truly think MIchelle and her staff are incredible, conscientious, expeditious, over the top competent and I am glad that I had her on my side.
