Michelle L. Bell

Unfortunately Michelle was not the first lawyer that I hired after I was charged with misdemeanor assault. I was not happy with my first lawyer, he would not do things that I thought he should do, and he told me I don't stand a chance of being found not guilty and should be prepared to go to jail. ...The day I decided to fire him, he saved me the trouble and quit. Then I found Michelle. In the first 24 hours, Michelle did more for my case than my former lawyer did in two months. This was not a simple case and Michelle worked hard for me. She did not doubt me and although she would not sugar coat, she also did not give me cause for despair. The State had five witnesses and we had none. Two of the State's witnesses said they were there at the time of the alleged assault, but I told Michelle that they were not there. Michelle believed me and looked at the witness statements from my perspective. She found holes in the witness statements, especially that of the only witness who said they saw the alleged assault. All of the State's witnesses insisted there was nobody else there, but I told Michelle that there were two other witnesses present; I did not know their names, they were relatives of the alleged victim. Again Michelle believed me and kept after the prosecutor for months until the prosecutor finally came forward with the names of the two other witnesses. Michelle interviewed them and they both said I did nothing. This was a major breakthrough in my case. I should note that my former attorney did nothing to locate these witnesses other than a single phone call to the prosecutor then told me to hire a private investigator. It was more than a year after the alleged assault before we went to trial. On the day of the trial, one of the prosecution's witnesses did not show up, the only one who said she saw the alleged assault. We needed her testimony and when the prosecutor wanted to start the trial without her, Michelle stuck up for my rights and convinced the judge to continue the trial. Shortly afterward, the prosecution decided not to pursue the case and the charges against me were dismissed. I firmly believe that the way Michelle handled my case, especially her communication with the prosecutor, convinced them that they did not have a case against me.

Michelle is an outstanding attorney! She took over my case and walked me through start to finish getting me the best possible outcome with my charge getting dropped. She was always available through text, email and phone call whenever I had questions or concerns and kept me very informed. I am so gl...ad I chose Michelle to represent my case and I would use her to represent me again in any future cases! I recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an excellent attorney to represent their case and get the best possible outcome! Stephanie, Apache Junction, AZ

Our daughter received a DUI on High School graduation night. Not only was she charged with a DUI and DWI but also was cited for DUI Dangerous Drug and Underaged Person Driving. During our first call to Michelle, she already gave us a sense of calm and that we were in capable hands. At our consulta...tion she gave us very realistic expectations and also prepared us for worst case scenarios. Through the entire process she updated us often and we truly felt she was passionate about providing the best defense possible. We mentally prepared ourselves that at least one or two of the charges would wind up sticking. I can't express the disbelief and relief we felt when Michelle informed us that ALL of the charges had been dismissed!!! Michelle is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of DUI and I would highly recommended her to anyone in need of this type of defense. Not to mention, she hates to lose

I was charged with DV charges (criminal damage, disorderly conduct, and assault). I am on H1B visa( working visa) in this country, I hired Michelle Bell to represent me to fight my case. The outcome was we won in the trail on all DV charges (not guilty/acquittal). She is really competent, confiden...t ,well organized , was to the point and was well prepared for my trail. She knows the laws and she is a good listener and very good at extracting the points from your case history . The trial went for two days. She caught the officer was lying by playing the audio of the officer's interview. She also caught my wife was lying by presenting well placed arguments and providing exhibits . At the end of the trail also, the judge mentioned that your attorney did a very good job. Because of her I was acquitted in all charges as well able to avoid my Deportation. I can't thank her enough to save my career and my dignity. All my best wishes are for her future career and she has all the attributes of an excellent attorney.

I recently had a alleged DUI case thrown out due to Michelle L. Bell's hard work and knowledge of the law. I live in a state other than where the incident took place, I never even met Michelle face to face, and when I needed a lawyer she was the first one I called. Well as luck turned out, I picked ...the best one. Michelle was completely honest from the first conversation, told me exactly what to expect, what the penalties would be, and what her plan was. She then mentioned that on occasion cases get dismissed after review of the police report. Michelle did her due diligence by thoroughly scanning the police report and found something unconstitutional, made contact with the prosecuting attorney and within days my case was dismissed. Leave no doubt if you have Michelle on your list of attorneys, choose her. The communication was spot on and timely, I never had a question about what was next in the process, and she was very understanding and easy to discuss difficult issues with. She was even kind enough to offer advice outside of her normal 'duties'. I highly recommend Michelle.
