Michelle Kathleen Freed

Michelle handled our Chapter 13 filing. She answered all our questions, and was able to communicate any concerns or questions to the court. She also helped us deal with unlawful attempts of collection during our bankruptcy, and other misrepresented correspondence. Michelle was very accessible duri...ng our five years.

A Portland attorney I had hired in 1994 to handle a personal business matter referred me to Michelle because he didn't deal with clients who are attempting to collect bad debts of a personal nature. Initially, I found Michelle to be very well spoken and very approachable. By the time the case was "w...rapped up", I still felt very positive about the fact that I had hired her. Unfortunately, and Michelle advised me of this possibility at the very beginning of my pursuit for justice, I did not receive the justice I was seeking. This was not because of anything Michelle did or neglected to do. It was simply a matter of me not having done my due diligence with someone I thought was a friend in good financial standing in the community. Had I not assumed that this personal loan would not be a problem and had I done some basic verification about this person's ability to repay a debt, I would have saved an awful lot of money, not to mention also attorney fees (which were actually quite reasonable). So, although I'm unhappy with the outcome, I want to be clear that I am very satisfied with the work Michelle did for me. There was communication, advice given when it was sought, as well as explanations of what the law is and how it is applied in Oregon, etc. This was a very tough and expensive lesson in my life but a lesson I believe I will never forget. If I ever had another legal issue over a bad debt, however, I would not hesitate to contact Michelle at the first sign of trouble. Jim

I couldn't be happier with this firm, especially Michelle Freed. I was referred to her by a different attorney, and retained her to negotiate a settlement with an old credit card debt, which involved a judgment and lien on my house. She did it in an efficient and professional manner with a positive o...utcome. Due to their efficient no nonsense way of doing business, the matter didn't cost me an arm and a leg like I had expected. Would definitely use this firm again if needed for most any legal maters pertaining to debt and/or bankruptcy.

Wonderful consultation with MIchelle, who offered advice a very concerning issue. Her advice was 100% accurate as to how I may be able to handle the situation myself. I followed her advice and within 1 hour had complete resolution on a problem that was frightening to me as it could have garnished my... income. Thank you MIchelle I will also pass this on by word of mouth to anyone asking about litigation help.
