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.

I used Mechelle for a very complicated family law issue and she handled all aspects of my case with professionalism and persuasiveness. I am a professional who has worked with numerous lawyers in the past, and I was quite impressed with Mechelle's knowledge of the law and with her commitment to her ...clients. With difficult issues, my family and I came out very well. She knows the law and knows how to use it. I am surprised to read the above review, as that is not at all my experience with her. In fact, I almost believe that the person writing that review was not a client, but was an opposing party. When you have Mechelle as your attorney, you really have someone great on your side. I recommend her highly.
