An Amazing Attorney!

I worked with Mechelle for some time due to the contentious nature of my divorce. I always felt that she kept my best interests at heart. I was very impressed at her competence. Divorce is a very difficult process to go through but I'm certainly glad Mechelle was on my side. I came out of the div...orce with what I thought was a fair settlement and at the start things did not look so rosy (my spouse,who initiated the divorce, was totally disabled). I would, without question recommend her. Mechelle is an amazing attorney!

The BEST! Reliable and compassionate.

I unfortunately had to get a divorce. I was lost, scared and had no idea of what to do or what was going to happen. I met with Mechelle for my initial consult and I was so amazed by how confident she was that everything would turn out just fine. Throughout the process so much 'crap' would come up and... I would email or contact her and she would respond in a very timely fashion. Divorce isn't easy on anyone emotionally and Mechelle definitely understood that and put so much of my anxiety and worries at ease. Everything that she said would happen, happened. I couldn't have been more happy the day I picked up the phone and called her.

Reality Check on this Excellent Lawyer

Mechelle has been a complete lifesaver for me and my family. Without providing too much detail, I was involved in a high-conflict situation with very significant assets at stake and a spouse who was doing everything possible to ensure that I would not have contact with my children in the future. Me...chelle and her team listened carefully to my situation and worked hard with me every step of the way to not only ensure that the court understood all of the financial matters, but that my relationship and time with my children were protected. I could not disagree more with the reviews below that state Mechelle performs poorly in court or that she does not write well. We appeared before the judge numerous times in my case and in each instance Mechelle was prepared, made well-presented arguments supported by the law and, in many instances, she was thanked by the court or the court made a comment about how well-represented the parties were. As a result, Mechelle and her team helped me to achieve very favorable outcomes. What I mean by the "reality check" in my comment above is that when an attorney takes on highly-contested cases, emotions often run high. Unfortunately, in family law cases, the party who does not prevail may end up really disliking the attorney representing the other side. I believe that is what is occuring here -- that some of these reviews have been written by the opposing party and not Mechelle's client. Those negative reviews are so fundamentally different than my experience with Mechelle and her team -- which has been irreplaceable. I highly recommend Mechelle and if my friends and colleagues need a family law attorney in the future, I will send them to her.

Excellent attorney

I have been working with Mechelle for 8 months now. In that time, she has shown herself to be very professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. My divorce was unexpected for me and not something I wanted whatsoever, and Mechelle has helped navigate through this with as little damage emotionally an...d financially as possible. I cannot say that for the opposing attorney. She is very accessible and seems to remember everything about my case. There is a reason Mechelle is listed in 5280 Magazine as one of the rising stars of Denver. I would recommend her without reservation. I'll also agree with the other reviewer noting that the one negative review about Mechelle is likely to have come from someone who was on the opposing side and did not use Mechelle personally. That write-up does not accurately describe the situation at all.

Highly Recommended

I have been meaning to write a review of Mechelle for quite some time, and am happily doing it now even though I am a very busy professional. Mechelle was recommended to me by a colleague (who is an attorney) after I had expressed how unhappy I was with the lack of foresight, detail and communicatio...n with my counsel at the time. After Mechelle came on as my counsel, the entire case changed. She not only made real, significant efforts to communicate with opposing counsel to identify what my wife and I could agree on, but she also made some key litigation moves (after discussion with me and with my consent) that helped me to obtain points for negotiation and put me in a better place for litigation. She was very accessible and usually e-mailed, texted or called me back within hours of a communication to her office. She is knowledgeable about the law and is very detail oriented -- which was an extreme benefit in my case as we own businesses and many other investments. It was also helpful that Mechelle is experienced in working with experts and understood the complexity of the child-related issues present in a divorce matter. She was professional, smart, sophisticated and tough. I highly recommend her.
