About Michelle
Biography
I have practiced law in Oregon since 1986, but have taken cases in California, Washington, Idaho, Missouri. I enjoy mountain biking, traveling, writing, entertaining friends, hiking and taking care of my family. But mostly I work at the practice of law. I love my job and the folks I am able to represent in serious and important areas.

Michelle R Burrows's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Michelle at a trial lawyer conference in Toledo, Ohio and I was totally impressed for the passion she has for her clients. She is an inspiration."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Burrows is a fearless and creative advocate. She is professional and thorough in her claims against powerful interests, law enforcement, and prisons when these institutions harm individuals. Ms. Burrows is very effective."
"To anyone who meets Michelle, it is instantly clear that she will work harder than anyone else to fight for justice for her clients. At a point in her career where lesser attorneys might be content to coast on prior experience, Michelle goes to every length to continually sharpen her formidable negotiation and trial skills. With Michelle, clients always know she will do whatever it takes to be the most effective, and the lawyers unlucky enough to be opposing her clients know it, too."
