"I worked with Michelle for 2 1/2 years at the Law Offices of Robert A. Goodman. During this time she proved herself to be a knowledgeable and effective family law attorney. Michelle's extensive experience helps her to obtain fair and reasonable settlements for her clients wherever possible. She also provides competent, zealous, and effective representation in court . I would want Michelle on my side if I needed representation in family law court."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
