Locking Arms With the Best of the Best

My husband & I were in a stressful situation that had been ongoing for many years. We live in NH and the court requesting information was in UT. Att. Mumford & her colleague were recommended to us and we could only "hope for the best". We were so pleased with the professionalism, understanding, & c...ompassion they held out for us as we took one tedious step at a time. We recognized very early on that we did "have the best"! We locked arms, let them guide us and represent us in court whenever it was needed, across the miles -- lasting almost a year. Although we have never met in person, we always knew that we had hired an exceptional attorney for our needs. I am so very grateful that this unfortunate situation has come to a conclusion. Without a doubt, we would hire Att. Mumford again...however, we prefer to not be caught in such an unfair legal situation again.

The best of the best

I've been in business for over forty years; hence used many attorneys for various challenges. Michelle Mumford is one of the most understanding and compassionate attorneys I have ever hired. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone. One of the best !!

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.
