Michelle Judith Spirn

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.

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.

We all hear the horror stories of divorce and child custody, and I, unfortunately, began to experience the system over four years ago while dealing with child custody issues. It has been a long road throughout this process. Part of the issue with our system is the lack of true attention that each cas...e might have, due in part, to an inundated court system and the slap-stick orders that are more standard practice than person-centered. I am also a man, and while most will tell you that the system is unbiased, they have not done much in the way of research of unconscious bias (see also Harvard Implicit Association Test). Despite a grossly lopsided case in terms of factual findings (in my favor) and the ongoing question of whose interest was at the epicenter of proceedings, I continued to struggle with the system and an opposing party that was unwilling to find common ground in the interest of the child. Three years into the process and two court cases later my Wife and I decided to change our representation. We spoke with many people and friends, some who actually work in the family court system, and Michelle was one of three top names that continually surfaced. Hiring Michelle completely changed the outcome of our case. From the moment she entered as our attorney she cut through the non-sense and facilitated the facts. It was obvious that she knew the system better than the GAL and Judge and possessed a sense of "leading the team" of parties involved. She held all parties accountable and forced the facts. At the center of all cases should be the children, and I think the best attorney that exists is one that exposes the facts and holds everyone accountable. Michelle did all of this and more. I could not be more pleased with Michelle's consultation, integrity, work ethic, and humility. We felt as if she was standing with us rather than in a room for us. Thank you Michelle from our entire family, we are forever grateful.
