Michelle Trigger

I retained this attorney for representation in a family law matter. Based on my personal experience, I was not satisfied with the representation I received and ultimately lost confidence in the handling of my case. Because of that experience, I would not personally retain this attorney again. ... I strongly encourage anyone considering legal representation to conduct careful due diligence before hiring counsel, including reviewing publicly available State Bar records and court filings so they can make a fully informed decision. Choosing legal representation is an important decision, and clients deserve transparency and confidence in the attorney they choose. My review reflects my personal experience as a former client.

Beware of this Lawyer , I ran into her at the Center for fathers and family , Which is a program to help fathers with fatherhood , Michelle was there giving lower priced family lawyer services . I thought everything was great until my first cvourt date , I was late , just as my childs mother had been... or not arrived b4 but her lawyer stepped in for her , Michelle did not even bother to show up to court she claimed to have had a rep there in her place but he did not step up on my behalf or even bother to give me a call and he would have found out I was twenty minutes away , But the case was called which lead to me losing my rights . I take my part for bieng late but this is the start , this women openly admitted to me that she within a six month time frame did not have time to look over my case . I lost my case on a technicality , Basically I hired her For Trial , when I missed that court date , I lost my rights and only had six months to file an appeal , I didint know that which is why I had hired her as a lwayer to know the things i dont know . But instead of filling a apeal I was going back and forth to court and mediation for over a year and a half just to be told in court that the apeal time had ended over a year ago . so we had been going back and fourth to court and mediation 3 or 4 times over a year and a half just to get told that I had lost all rights when I did not appeal almost a year prior , I should mention that I was in trial for a case that a judge had already made a ruling on in a prior case but she never looked at my prior cases to evenn know that , and thats her own words "i didint hve time" . Not to mention one of the reasons we where back and fourth to court and mediation so many times within that year and a half period is because Michelle Trigger emailed service to my child's mom instead of mailing it or in person which the judge stated in open court , so he gave us another court date which sent us back into mediation and then back to court by the time i got back into court the six month apeal time had passed . time passed and I wrote reviews about Michelle , first she threatened to sue me then she said it was a misunderstanding and said she would take my cae for free , even though I had already paid her , this turned out to be a strategic move to get to to remove my reviews as she never did anything or submitted anything into court on my behalf , which was critical because at the time my daughters mom was incarcerated which gave nme the perfect opportunity toi get custody . In the hands of my childs mom one child , my son has been killed and she now has 6 CPS cases with my daughter , and continues to do drugs . I thought as a woman and as A family lawyer this would be Michelles biggest concern , getting a child out of harms way and also undoing her wrong in bieng negligent in my first case , but she never submitted one document in over six months , I begged and pleaded with this women to just respond and she ignored me for months . AGAIN BUYER BEWARE

Michelle Trigger is an experienced, straightforward attorney. What you get with her is very personal representation, tailored to your case and an aggressive counselor that is dedicated and consistently prepared to run circles around the opposing council. I had what I thought was a hopeless family l...aw case. I faced allegations on top of allegations stacked against me with a criminal case supporting the accuser’s allegations. I felt hopeless after multiple hearings and little progress with another lawyer. Ms. Trigger took on my case, had it dismissed and got me a fair amount of parenting time. At times it is difficult to reach Michelle as she is constantly preparing for cases or is in the middle of trials and simply does not have the time to sit by the phone answering calls. I learned this the hard way, stressing myself out and unnecessarily questioning her dedication to my case. Don’t let this minor detail deter you from enlisting Ms. Trigger’s services. The number of stars in this review don’t do her justice. Michelle is THE best and you definitely want her on your side. P.S. Michelle Trigger is also involved in the community. Go check out her legal advice class at the Center for Fathers and Families.

Michelle, is very smart and passionate about what she does. She has been there when I needed her. After years of separation, my wife who is very resentful towards me has tried on multiple occasions to get me in family court so that she can separate me from the Son I love and adore. This time she ...attempted a permanent restraining order. I knew I needed a good attorney. Michelle handled herself well in court enduring 20 minutes of Mom going on and on. Michelle stayed wisely quiet while Mom dug a deeper hole for herself. Then she told our side of the story. In the end, the restraining order was removed by the judge and I was able to see my Son again. After years of losing these battles, I finally won! You should have seen the angry look on Mom's face and the Bailiffs when she ripped the court order out of his hand and stormed out of the court room.
