Michelle Trigger

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

I have a very unique situation in dealing Michelle as an attorney. Oddly enough she was the opposing counsel for my family custody battle. And although I felt the system was extremely unfair and resulted in the most horrific nine months of my life partly because of Michelle‘s incredible skills as a...n attorney and advocating for the devil himself lol I saw immediately her passion, organization, professionalism... I thought to myself throughout the process dang I wish I wasn’t forced to make such a rash decision in hiring representation on emergency basis and had the opportunity to find Michelle first . Here is where the kicker comes in , I actually agreed to allow Michelle to represent my son in a criminal matter simultaneously as the family custody battle. I have to tell you I was more than pleased at the way Michelle was able to separate the two cases!! During the family law case she addressed me in a very professional non-personal matter. During my sons criminal case she addressed me as a client being super friendly, communicative, organized, understanding, responsive and encouraging. I was absolutely amazed at her ability to truly separate the two cases ! I have to say that is a unique skill possessed by Michelle as an attorney ! I’m sure this is a VERY RARE situation and not many attorneys could handle such a task! Michelle took felony charges and her diligence resulted in a misdemeanor offense with no further action required . I could not have asked for a better outcome for my son! Too bad there is only 5 stars available because Michelle deserves 10 stars! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for anyone Looking for representation from an attorney with passion, compassion, organization, professionalism, and the unique ability to separate her feelings from her job as an attorney!!!

I am in the middle of a nasty custody battle with a narcissist who lies and enjoys causing chaos. He has been able to manipulate and woo our judge into believing everything he says. I had no choice but to retain an attorney. Michelle took my case on short notice but showed up to court as if sh...e had weeks to prepare. She was very quick on her feet and appropriately handled a judge who has been very hostile towards me. During our trial, Michelle did a great job exposing lies and conflicting stories, something our judge couldn't do. She won my case for me and set me up for the next battle. I have seen attorneys crumble in front of my judge, but Michelle was confident and knew her stuff. I hope I won't need an attorney in the future, but if I do, I hope to have Michelle fighting for me.
