So Glad I Called Her!
I hired Michelle Carlton to represent me recently for my case. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

What can’t she do!
She took my case when several other attorneys told me I had no chance. I was scared and didn’t know what to do but she held my hand through the whole process.

Michelle R. Carlton's Lawyer Endorsements
"Michelle and I have worked together on multiple cases, one of which was a very difficult and emotionally charged case. She was very knowledgeable and professional."
"I have worked on the same side as Michelle as well as opposing Michelle in a few cases. She has always been very easy to work with, despite the fact that our clients were at odds. She is an advocate for her client and I respect the way she practices."
"I endorse this lawyer. My experience with Michelle has been overwhelmingly positive."
"Michelle Carlton is one of those few lawyers that advocates hard for her client but in a professional manner. Her understanding of divorce law and it's implications on a case is outstanding and her approach to litigation likely saves her clients a lot of money in a process that cares little for an individual's concerns. When I have a case with Michelle, I know the result will be fair and well researched. Though we were opposing attorneys on a recent case, her level of professionalism was impressive. She doesn't give up turf, but she has the experience to know when a settlement is fair and knows how to spare spouses and parents from anguish in needless litigation. Michelle is an asset to the Bar and while I don't look forward to going head to head with her, I would rather work on a case with her knowing that we can collaborate to that ending where all sides are happy. I highly recommend Michelle for your divorce and custody needs."
"Michelle is hardworking and dedicated. Michelle is knowledgeable and works diligently for all of her clients. I would highly recommend her to any of my family members and friends."

"Michelle is a professional and firm litigator in family law. She was well-prepared and engaged the Court and her client in kind, disarming way. She got the best possible testimony and presented her case thoroughly. I would recommend her to clients seeking help in family law at any point in their court case."
"Michelle is an excellent attorney with an outstanding track record. She treats her clients great and always gets the job done. Michelle has a lot of experience and that shows with her ability to get results for the clients. I recommend Michelle to anyone."
"Michelle is an outstanding attorney who works tirelessly to get the best possible result for each and every client."
