Michelle was recommended to me by a friend as she was known to have a drive to get things done. In my case this was for certain the case! She tried many avenues to get my case either moved from criminal to civil court, Driving school or dismissed completely. When she hit a few road blocks, she kep...t grinding away, eventually sending a request directly to the judge with her arguments. This ended up in my case being dismissed after completing driving school. A fabulous result! The entire time her updates and communication with me were detailed and made me feel very confident. Thank you Michelle!

I would highly recommend Michelle! When I received my DUI, I was in panic mode! Thankfully I came across Michelle and she was really able to calm me. From our first meeting, she explained her plan and clearly laid out how we would proceed. I felt confident in her knowledge of the system, was comforte...d by her ability to explain everything in an understandable fashion and was ultimately very pleased with the judgment. My BAC had come back at 0.95, but Michelle was able to work out a deal with the prosecutor so that we didn’t have to go to trial and I was let off with a Reckless Driving charge; very difficult to do with such a high alcohol content. This led to lower fines as well as less effect on my driving record; I didn’t have to get SR-22 insurance or an interlock device. Additionally, she was able to convince the judge to provide me with time served and I did not have to spend any time in jail. All and all, Michelle did an amazing job navigating me through the entire process and made sure that all loose ends were tied up so that I could move on with my life. She is extremely professional, competent, responsive and hard working. As mentioned above, I would highly recommend Michelle!

Michelle's unrelenting dedication to my case is what got it dismissed. I contacted Michelle after being wrongly accused and charged of disorderly conduct. Michelle was able to evaluate my situation in one sitting once she heard the details. She was very knowledgeable of options available and also app...lied additional research to weigh them well. She conducted three interviews with officers and other involved parties to draw out the contradictions, and prepared a detailed five page report by studying different aspects surrounding the charge and surgically exposed several inconsistencies in reports. This shows her keenness to study a case and diligently handle different options ensuring no stone is unturned. This helped provide proof of my innocence and diminishing the validity of false charges that I was subjected. Through that we were able to obtain dismissal. While this shows how well she handled the case, her personality is definitely worth a mention. She was professional and quite aggressive in handling the details. At the same time, she was compassionate about my situation and showed personal care in explaining the details. Would definitely recommend her.

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.
