Doesn’t have the fight an attorney should have.
I’m worse off now than when I hired her. I was told I wouldn’t lose my job and ended up having to resign to settle. Still unemployed because who’s gonna hire someone who sued their employer. Settlement didn’t last a year for rent in SoCal. Close to homeless at this point.

Michelle is very professional and highly efficient. She has always kept me informed regarding the status of my cases and answered any questions I have had in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking counsel in her field of expertise.

Debt Collection put to rest...
Michelle was class A professional in every scope of our collection case. It was resolved after many hours of fact gathering and dispositions, and in the end we got the settlement we expected.
