Practice Areas

Employment and Labor 50%

Employment attorneys focus on the many laws concerning the relationship between employers and employees. If you feel your employer has treated you wrongly as an employee, or if you're an employer who needs to terminate an unsatisfactory employee, you may benefit from the services of an employment attorney. Some professionals, such as teachers, policemen, and pilots, belong to labor unions, which have specific negotiation and labor law procedures that protect union members. A labor attorney will

15%
Military Law 15%

Military law attorneys have experience with The Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is the law that applies to members of the armed forces. These lawyers are often called “JAGs” or Judge Advocate Generals. Military law attorneys prosecute or defend troops court-martialed in cases of discipline or disobedience of a lawful command. For example, if you are an army private and refuse an order, a military trial would be held, with one military law attorney representing the Army (and aiming to pro

Federal Regulation 10%

Federal regulation lawyers focus on a particular area of federal government regulation. These lawyers can work for the government itself or work in the private sector helping people interact with the government. Federal regulation lawyers are often former federal agency employees and, like their state, local, and municipal law counterparts, usually know who the best contacts at the federal agencies are, and what approaches will work in negotiating with federal officials.

Government Contracts 10%

Government contract attorneys specialize in helping people or companies enter into business contracts with local and national governments. Because a government represents the public interest, it must follow certain procedural and disclosure rules to ensure that its contracts are awarded properly. Generally, government contracts have more restrictive terms than private contracts, and government contract attorneys can help you negotiate a successful contract.

Contracts Attorney

Michelle is very professional and a pleasure with whom to work. She's been an invaluable legal resource to our Sales and Procurement groups and our Capital Projects' teams. Particularly impressive was Michelle's contract negotiation ability and creation of a terms standardization process across vario...us subject matter---Multi-Million Dollar sales, supply and government contracts, license agreements, capital equipment, real estate, engineering and construction contracts, etc. An effective and dynamic public speaker and instructor, Michelle guides colleagues on legal and regulatory compliance issues in a way non-lawyers can understand and apply. Michelle rises to challenges and this year is taking on other areas of legal responsibility and oversight as our business grows.

Excellent Services

I recently worked with Mary Michelle on some estate planning and Durable Power of Attoney issues. Her knowledge expanded well beyond my topics of interest. She communicated with me every step of the way. I have just recommended her to friends with similiar legal requirements.
