Michelle was a GODSEND

After calling and talking to several attorneys and reading their contracts for services, with fees for every phone call and email, I was referred to Michelle Bell. From the start, I knew she was the right attorney. she was upfront, caring and knowledgeable. Her fee was clearly stated no hidden cost...s. My 16 year old was charged with a DUI. My husband and I were heartbroken. They call it a baby DUI, but there is nothing small or cute about the consequences. Michelle was very knowledgeable about juvenile DUIs and possible outcomes. She informed us about the MVD vs Court decisions and possible probationary requirements. Our daughter was looking at a 2 year suspension of her license; no driving to school her senior year or her freshman year at college. This alone would be devastating to her. Michelle’s deviation request was successful in having the court recommend a restricted license vs a 2 year suspension. She had the possibility of community service hours which I would have to transport her to, weekly drug testing; which is humiliating and time demanding and potential fines of about $1500.00. Michelle was able to get all fines dropped, no community service and random drug testing once a month. More importantly, she kept us sane throughout a very difficult process and met with my daughter to explain every step, possible outcomes and what she was going to try to do to get rid of or lessen the consequences. Thank you Michelle, we are forever grateful.

DUI Dismissed

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

Michelle Bell

I recently had a situation in which I was faced with a second offense DUI in Arizona from several years back. I live in Arkansas now and was faced with a very tough situation.In my search for legal help my first and last call was to Michelle Bell. After our first phone call, Michelle went right to wo...rk on my case. She was very attentive and one of the most efficient professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She managed to get a second offense DUI reduced to reckless driving. She not only stood up for me in court with me being a thousand miles away but she also saved me the headache if a second offense conviction and THOUSANDS of dollars. I would proudly recommend Michelle Bell to anyone.

Not guilty/Acquittal - in DV charges (criminal damage, disorderly conduct, and assault)

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.

Great partner... Thank you!

Michelle did a good job of dumbing down all the legal lingo for someone who has not had to deal with something like this before. I appreciated her patience and clarity, as long as I was on top of my stuff -- She was also. 100% recommend, sucks to have to hire someone -- was anxious as there are so ma...ny options. You can't go wrong here, she is great!
