Excellent in Appelate and Texas Supreme Court

My attorney brought Michelle on to a difficult case when it reached Appellate level. She worked well with my attorney and her manner of distilling the case and arguing it clearly was impressive. Her skills helped bring me into winning a non-dischargeable multi-multi-million dollar case in front of ...the Texas Supreme Court. I would use her again, but I hope I never have to.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
