Mediation

Michelle made a difficult situation much better with her open and honest approach. We used her for a divorce mediator. What could have been an ugly and long process, she help navigate with ease, expertise and compassion. I felt very confident and comfortable with her. The divorce was finalized quickl...y and without any delays. Thank you.

Professional, prompt, thoughtful and knowledgeable

I have consulted Michelle about potential divorce. She was very thorough and explained all my options and their outcomes in detail. After considering all possibilities I decided to file. It is very emotional decision and process. Both my husband and I chose to work on our marriage and we ended up dec...iding not to continue with divorse and I withdrew my petition. Michelle was supportive throughout the process, very prompt with her communications, transperant with her strategy and billing. I really appreciate her support, knowledge and professionalism. Thank you.

Excellent Experience

When I contacted Michelle, I had a very complicated divorce case and very limited funds. I had called a number of lawyers in the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles area and they all declined to take my case as they felt that it would involve too much of their time and I wouldn't have enough money t...o pay them. Michelle took my case and gave it her full attention. She always had time to talk to me if I had questions. She answered my text messages, emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She listened to my thoughts about the case and then gave me her honest opinions. She worked very hard on my behalf. In fact, she called me several times while she was out of the country on vacation to discuss my case and upcoming hearings. Michelle wasn't just my lawyer, she became my friend. She was encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process. She never stopped fighting for me and I was more than satisfied with the outcome. She was an outstanding advocate and made me feel as if I were her most important client.

Saved from an illegal Alimony situation

When Michelle reviewed my Divorce document she was surprised to see a number of illegal conditions agreed upon. The most glaring example was that the alimony payment would go up each year instead of down. Michelle took that condition and the others and professionally contacted my ex-wife's lawyer. To... keep things short, not only did all of the illegal conditions get corrected, Michelle was able to remove my obligation to pay any alimony at all! Way to go, Michelle!
