Michelle Judith Spirn

I was referred to Michelle when I was seeking ‘top’ family lawyers in St. Louis who were ethical, compassionate, driven and who knew the law inside and out. After interviewing several lawyers, including a former judge, Michelle was clearly the most passionate and qualified. She has an unparalleled w...ork ethic, and I’ve referred her to other friends/colleagues, all who retained her for the same reason. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will do anything to anyone at any cost to win, Michelle is not your lawyer, which was another reason I’m so proud to have worked with someone with such intelligence and heart.

Consistently missed phone calls, emails, document response deadlines -- all deadlines that she would set. She would later explain that she had more urgent cases than mine. If you say you are going to do something on a certain date and time, then you should do -- it builds trust. Michelle seemed ve...ry qualified and had all the right answers when I vetted her during our initial consultation, but once she had my retainer I couldn't get her to answer the phone or respond to an email. This last missed deadline came with yet another apology and excuse and a "I understand if you want to get a different attorney". When I replied to the email it bounced back with an automated email saying she would be out of the office for a week.
