Superb representation!!!

Michelle was recommended to me, by a coworker in my US military unit. He said that she represented him very well, in his divorce case. I am thankful that Michelle accepted my case. (By the way, she has a great staff, as well.) I was going through an unwanted divorce, after 30+ yrs of marriage. ...Michelle listened well, understood the situations, and coached me on options. I told Michelle that I did not want to be vengeful or hurtful toward my wife, and Michelle understood, and helped me navigate that path. The divorce was dragging on, and she helped create some forward momentum, to get the process going again. She negotiated some great wins for me, in the divorce process, helping greatly my financial future. Michelle is a "go-getter", with "bulldog tenacity". She is fast-paced and aggressive (in a good sense), and was honest with me, when I needed that kind of coaching. She is fair and sensitive, and is dedicated in working towards a favorable solution for her client. The mediation process was an interesting experience, but again, Michelle represented me well through that, as well! I'm a 30yr veteran of the military, and recognize people who are skilled, and do their jobs well. Michelle is one of those people! I highly recommend her!!!

A Blessing

Michelle Smith was a blessing in my case. She took her time in understanding my full situation so she could help and do what is right. Michelle is a very professional, honest and respectable attorney. If you are looking for someone to represent you, Michelle Smith is who you should hire. Thank... you for everything!

Shameful

Michelle was appointed to my divorce case and almost acted as a second attorney for my ex wife. Her bias was beyond obvious to all parties. Not only did she defend my ex wife’s marijuana use in court (a violation of the temporary order), she also discarded a failed alcohol test after her weekend with... the kids and ignored every single concern I had about the kids well being, both mentally and physically. Michelle is a disgrace to her profession. If she is assigned your case, fight it as hard as you can. Your kids will thank you one day!
