100% recommend

My experience with Michelle has been nothing but outstanding. She worked tirelessly on my case and ensured that every detail was accurate. Because of her efforts, we were able to settle my case to a degree that I was very happy with. My court case was very overwhelming and stressful, but Michelle was... so compassionate and supportive. She really made me feel at ease even in the most stressful times. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Don't waste your time!!

Don't waste your time. As soon as your case gets too difficult, she'll drop you. Just like she did to me. She gave me a monthly payment and when it wasn't enough, she went back on our agreement. She'll send email after email regarding an issue but won't file a motion to enforce your orders and charge... you for each email. Watch out for her.

The most wonderful attorney and paralegal EVER!

Michelle is the best lawyer in the business. I'm going through a horrible divorce and Michelle and Sara have stuck by me the entire time. Michelle has worked hours upon hours on my case and some nights working until early morning hours. She truly cares about you as a person. She even emailed me o...n my youngest child's birthday to tell him happy birthday. You can tell she loves her job and wants to help. She is very knowledgeable and composed and does amazing in the courtroom. I would never go to another family lawyer. Sara and her make a great team, you can tell they actually care.

A man apart

When I was served with court papers from my x-girl friend for full custody of my daughter I was devastated and lost . Michelle helped me through the entire process. With her help I was able to obtain what was best for my daughter. 50/50 Shared custody and a Parenting Plan in place to protect us. T...hanks Michelle , my lawyer for life .

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.
