Lovely experience

Michelle was very helpful, kind, fair and patient as she set me up with my living revokable trust. I do highly recommend her.

Very kind and detail orientated

Michelle helped our family through a very rough time. She made herself available and drove very far out of her area to make sure we were taken care of. Michelle is very kind and caring. Thank you Michelle!

Happy I Found Michelle Siebenaler

I was fortunate to find Michelle Siebenaler to complete a probate that was started with another attorney. The probate involved disabled heirs—one on Medicaid. Michelle is very knowledgeable, and she gave me information and options that I hadn’t heard about—such as being able to start one’s own Sp...ecial Needs Trust. In a related case, she represented me and helped me provide information to the DHS, bringing their claim against the estate to a quick and good resolution. Beyond being a very smart and skilled attorney, Michelle is also very kind and thoughtful. As executor, I was occasionally overwhelmed by the work, and she was always willing to help. She is also straightforward and honest about her fee, giving an upfront estimate of hours for the job. In every case she was more than fair. I could not recommend her more highly.

Very pleased clients!

Michelle carefully assessed our situation and then created the documents we needed to prepare for our future needs. She wrote our wills, created our living wills and drafted our power of attourney documents. She was thorough, knowledgable, considerate, and efficient! I highly recommend Michelle!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
