Michelle is an Attorney who cares about her clients

I learned of Michelle through another Attorney friend of mine who recommended I consult my case with her. At the time I was skeptical at meeting with yet another Attorney, since prior to meeting Michelle I had consulted a number of lawyers who were not interested in taking my case due to its complexi...ty. In fact when I finally had my initial meeting with Michelle and explained my case, she too confirmed that the challenge before me was going to be monumental. The difference however was that Michelle, unlike her predecessors, did not cower at my strenuous circumstances, nor did she dismiss me; in fact she did the exact opposite and agreed to take my case. After studying the endless documentation I provided her, and diving deeper into the details of my case, she sat down with me to clearly set forth a game plan, breaking down each aspect of my case into manageable goals in order to obtain the best results. She never promised that the outcome would be a success, but she did promise that she would do whatever she could to help me; and that is exactly what she did. Over the course of a little more than 2 years, there were many road blocks, the occasional victory, sudden setbacks, and a number of stumbles, and yet through it all, Michelle never gave up on me. In fact the more difficult things became, the harder she fought on my behalf. I titled this review "an Attorney who cares.." for this main reason. To Michelle I wasn't just another client with a problem; but a person who had been wronged by the system, and who deserved some justice. Thanks to Michelle, in the end, I got exactly that. My outcome was the best that anyone could have achieved given the circumstances surrounding my case. I honestly think any other Attorney would have jumped ship mid stream. I am very thankful to my friend for recommending Michelle, and am honored now at having the opportunity in recommending her myself.

Lawyer from the upper echelons

After being served from the opposing party for the most outrageous reasons, I searched for top ranking attorneys in my area. After a few phone calls and a consultation, Michelle took my case. I gave her all my gathered facts and supporting evidence - nothing held back. She kept me calm and provided ...countless words of encouragement throughout it all. She is assertive and very confident at what she does. Working with Michelle, I could see that she does this passionately with a BIG heart; this is something you don't see often anymore. When she entered the courtroom with me, I was calm and confident that she would get us out of there without any unpleasantness. She was quick to respond to the other party's attorney without hesitation using up-to-the-minute legal jargon unbeknownst to me. My case was settled and the other party is to no longer make contact with any members of my family. Michelle truly is a blessing and I simply cannot express the amount of gratitude I have towards her services. Thank you so much.

Stopped the new Landlord to take advantage of me

I had just lost my husband and put the Liquor store that we had owned for sale. The owner of the shopping center where our store was located had just sold the center. The new owner wanted to charge me a huge amount for no reason, I spoke to Michelle and we conferenced the owner. During one call th...at took about 15 minutes, he took all charges back and apologized to me. I am forever grateful for Michelle Daneshrad.
