Rachel Michaels lawyer review
Rachel was a fantastic lawyer. I couldn't of gotten luckier in finding her to handle my case. She went above in beyond to make sure a very bad situation was turned around quickly. She realized I was not someone who deserved the charges against me and made sure I didn't have any consequences because of one stupid decision. Since Rachel has helped me get through a very tough time in my life I have completely turned my life around. I have a great career and relationship and it is all because she saw who I really was and wanted to give me the opportunity to better my life, not have me caught up in the system. She knew I never had a record before this case and wanted to keep it that way. She got my charges dismissed and made sure I wouldn't have probation. I highly recommend Rachel if you need a professional, caring lawyer to handle your case.

Far Better Outcome Than Expected
I hired Rachel to represent me for traffic citations I received for an automobile accident. I was truly fearful that I may lose my drivers’ license, but at our initial consultation Rachel assured me that she could get the charges reduced. Her office was great about keeping me updated about every step of the process and also answered all of my questions in a prompt and professional manner. I highly recommend Rachel as a highly professional and competent attorney

Wealth of Knowledge
Although Rachel often handles high profile cases, she was willing to provide me with advice on a dog-at-large case. Her advice was right on point and i was able to quickly resolve the case.

Excellent Attorney, Excellent Outcome!
I contacted Ms. Michael to help me with a Domestic Violence case. She was very patient, caring and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend her for any criminal case.

Professional attorney - traffic summons offense
I had talked to 4 attorneys and was giving up hope that I would find one that we were comfortable with. We are out of state and our son received a summons for careless driving after an incident with a town vehicle in Fort Collins. She handled it without him having to go to court and had it reduced to a minor infraction and small fine. She was very fair giving us a college discount. She kept us informed the whole way. I strongly recommend her to anyone in a similar predicament.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would just like to thank the team at Joneson & Michael, LLC Firm. For all of their help during our investigation process. Their kindness and professionalism through this process was outstanding. I highly recommend them if you're going through a legal procedure that you're not sure of. Their knowledge and understanding of the situation, truly gives you peace of mind during a trying time. Thanks again for your support and kindness.

In talking to Rachel, she made me feel safe and protected. However, once you contract with her, she is very difficult to get a hold of...nearly impossible. Her assistant strictly screens her calls and does not pass you on to her. Though her legal knowledge is very strong, once in court, she missed stating some crucial information, as though she wasn't familiar with my case. All in all, the experience was expensive and disappointing; all on top of what I was going through.
