Michelle Yvette Leblanc

Michelle came highly recommended by a friend who had also been through a divorce. I'm glad I listened to my friend and went with Michelle. She and her team are compassionate, helpful, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. They did everything to make this difficult situation easier and helped me unde...rstand and navigate through my legal options and the legal process. Michelle was always available to answer my questions and help me determine the best course of action. Divorce is never easy but Michelle's professionalism and hard work made all the difference. Thank, Michelle!

I hired Michelle LeBlanc to represent me in my Divorce. This was not your typical cookie-cutter Divorce, even though it should have been. My Ex-Wife hired an Attorney that pumped her up about getting Spousal Support, Child Support, and just about every other asset of value. Michelle cut through th...e BS, reversed the tactics, ultimately causing my Ex to change attorney's 7 months into the Divorce. As a result, her new Attorney did not have time to get a clear understanding of the case, or the assets. Michelle never allowed the new Attorney a chance to get more time. Another positive, Michelle's background in Accounting, she fully understood, not just my financial numbers, but the opposition's financial numbers. As a result, Michelle hammered home an agreement that was more than favorable. I don't think the new Attorney ever had a full understanding of the finances, or maybe just did not care to invest time trying to understand. In a Divorce, I don't think anyone wins; however, I could have been left sleeping in a Refrigerator Box if I would have hired just any Divorce Attorney. The moral to the story, hiring the right Attorney makes a big difference, experience matters. I am so happy I hired Michelle LeBlanc!!

Where to begin? I was in the process of getting a divorce and had hired an attorney who purported to be a family lawyer. I had separate property prior to my marriage. Meanwhile, my wife secured the services of a well known local attorney and they absolutely ran over me and my faux family attorney ...in the initial mediation. From that experience I knew I had to obtain better counsel. I reviewed this site and made an appointment. I met with Michelle and I appreciated two things about her from the onset. First, she did not sugarcoat anything she explained my good and bad facts and second, she had an office by the family courthouse. I think the office next to the courthouse is an important consideration because if you have any kind of an involved case there are probably going to be a lot of appearances and motions. You need someone who knows their way around the courthouse and does not accumulate a lot of hours driving back and forth. I’m not sure my first attorney knew where the courthouse was which should have been some kind of clue to me of her incompetence. The first thing Michelle told me was I needed to hire a forensic accountant which I did. This turned out to be the best advice I received for had I not proved “professionally” what were my assets prior to the marriage the court and the other attorney would have easily taken half of everything I had accumulated prior to the marriage. Note: the first attorney told me “you’re going to have to prove that those were yours prior to marriage” without explaining what I needed to do. Had I stayed with her I would have gone into the court before the judge and tried to “explain” why they were separate property which would not have been enough for the court. It seems they (the courts) believe everything is community unless you can prove “professionally” otherwise. I had been given the usual discovery questions with the first attorney. She said “answer all these questions and gather all the requested material as best you can and get it to me as soon as possible”. If you’ve ever seen that list, it is rather intimidating and time consuming. Michelle told me which ones to answer and which ones that I did not have to answer, probably cut the list in half so I could focus on the important ones and not waste time collecting information that was irrelevant. Throughout the process Michelle kept me informed and gave me good, straight forward counsel. It was not always what I wanted to hear when I wanted to hear it but it was truthful and factual. I’ve had and known attorneys before that would tell you what a great case you had all the way to the courthouse only to start squirming at the last second. Michelle is not like that, she tells you exactly how she sees things, the pluses and the minuses, so you can make informed decisions while spending as little as possible. Lastly, I was told one time, a long time ago, that in order to be a really good attorney you have to know (and I mean know them not how to look them up) the rules. Michelle knows the rules of law, deadlines for discovery, proper procedure, submittal of evidence, etc. these are all important if you have a contested case. In summary, I strongly recommend Michelle as a family lawyer.

Very knowledgable in counseling the best strategic plan to prepare for trial. Michelle is very transparent and offers scenarios of Risk for each possible path to take in preparation for trial. So that allows you to make an intelligent decision. Michelle is brilliant in quickly accessing counter o...ffers and quickly responding to counters that protected my interest . So in other words,, fast, sharp thinker with great communication skills and she is committed to protecting your interest. We went to trial, she guided me with all I needed to provide and she walked me step by step into what to expect and we worked out the best strategy together and I was very pleased with outcome. Her best attribute is she is a great listener and I will highly recommend her.

My mother was contacted by a lady who purchased property from my mother's stepmother who owner financed. The Seller my mother's stepmother passed away before buyer sought to obtain release. The buyer waited almost 5 years after death of Seller before attempting to obtain a release on her property. ... When she searched for Seller she found Seller had passed away and found that my mother was the only living heir. Buyer called wanting my mother to sign release for the property which she had purchased from Seller, my mother's stepmother.. I told buyer my mother would not sign anything. We received lawsuit papers eventually from buyer trying to force my mother to sign. That is when we sought the help and counsel of Mrs. LeBlanc who made the process so comforting and assured us that this was a frivolous lawsuit and there was nothing to worry about. She put our minds at ease and handled everything eventually getting the case dismissed. We feel that we received excellent representation and dedication from Mrs. Le Blanc and were very impressed with her professionalism. We would definitely hire Mrs. Leblanc again as well as highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. Sincerely, Gerry .
