Very good attorney

Hired Michelle to represent my family on a fair housing matter. She knew the law, was very honest about case merits and communicated updates regularly. Got us a good outside.

Good disability rights attorney for my daughter's high school discrimination case.

Michelle met with my family within 1 week of us calling her for help, and resolved our case within a few months. She helped with a discrimination matter involving my daughter's high school. Michelle came highly recommended by a local disability organization and I can understand why. She knew her s...tuff, was very caring and was always available when we needed to talk or wanted updates. A+++

Good Housing Lawyer

Miss Michelle helped me when my landlord was discriminating against my son because of his disability. My landlord was harassing us because my son is Autistic and uses a service dog. Miss Michelle knew the law and explained everything to me so I could understand my son's rights. She was a very stron...g advocate for my son. I'm so grateful that I found Miss. Michelle. We called other places that say they help the disabled and no one would help us.

If your case isn't a slam dunk, she'll bail on you.

Michelle took our disability rights case. She has years of experience in this area of the law, and liked to work exclusively via email. We never met her in person; she preferred it that way even though we asked to confer face to face. Consequently, we never got the sense that she understood the urg...ency of our problem. When opposing counsel undermined her initial strategy, Michelle advised us the court would not likely find in our favor. With a long-awaited date set to finally be heard by a judge, Michelle asked to be removed from our case thereby delaying our hearing—and extending our suffering—even further. She did not help us. In fact, she hurt our short-term chances of prevailing and showed no remorse. In hindsight, her email-only interaction preference should have been a warning.
