Micha is an outstanding trial lawyer!

When it comes to intelligence, competence and zeal for her profession, there is no one in the legal profession that compares to her dedication and courage to succeed than Micha Star Liberty. A true star in the profession.

Posted by Val | July 16, 2013 | Employment & Labor

Employment matters - resolved!

Micah was an absolutely amazing to work with. I was being threatened by a past employer and within 24 hours, Micah was in contact with the company and began to handle everything going forward. She is not only completely professional, but completely knowledgable and able to go head to head with a co...mpany that is known to not be friendly (she was not backing down). At this point, I was completely confident that she was going to do what was best for me. When the time came to negotiate, she was always thoughtful and concise with the options and then allowed me to select the best direction to move forward. When all was said and done, I wouldn't have wanted to go any other route with anyone else. She was referred to me by a great friend and handled everything for me from beginning to end.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have personally worked side by side with Micha, and I am here to say that she is a truly outstanding lawyer. She knows well the complicated law as applied to her cases -- as well she should, because she is president of the lawyer's group that WROTE many of these laws. Micha cares deeply about her clients, and fights hard for them. She understands their pain and is kind to her clients. I would never want to be on the other side of a case from Micha. She does not brook nonsense from defense attorneys. She is fierce! And a credit to our profession."

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.
