Malpractice

Our malpractice case is handled by 2 great law firms; one of them is the Pearson Law Firm. Michelle handled our case with passion, she’s a tough lady in the court who knows what she’s saying, who does her assignment and research so well, I’m impressed! I never doubted her capacity… and I was right!... Thank you Michelle and to the rest of your team! You guys are awesome!

Service level rises far above expectations

Michele handled some business matters for me several years back. She did an amazing job. She was very knowledgeable, and very proactive in resolving my issues in a timely matter. I have since utilized the firm for other matters, and highly recommend Michele and the Pearson Law firm because they ri...se above rest.

Estate assistance

The Pearson law Firm helped me with an estate issue. Michele and her team were very professional. One of her messages is that it's a good idea to know your legal rights, so even if you have what seems like a simple question, give Michele a call. Having peace of mind is really nice.

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.
