Posted by Hannah | March 10, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Top Notch! Pays attention to detail!

My daughter overdosed on Fentanyl in January ‘24, due to the recent increase in illegal immigrants bringing illegal drugs into our country. I hired Michelle to assist me in working with the police and other Tarrant county and Dallas county law enforcement, examiner and support agencies. She was ab...le to come up with a course of action that moved the case forward so that my daughter could receive justice and she provided emotional stability to our family in our time of bereavement. Several years ago Michelle also assisted me & my husband, in our divorce process when we were considering a divorce. Michaela helped us by developing a course of action items that we then engaged in, and thankfully, my husband and I worked through our issues and we stayed together. I would HIGHLY recommend attorney, Michelle Scopellite.
