Self employed

This attorney is by far the best !!!!!! She won’t take your case unless she knows she can help you !!!! She will go very many efforts to win your case and does not sugar coat anything !! Also she is very compassionate and will fight for justice !!!

So Impressed!

Michelle represented my insurance company for a car accident I was in. I am so impressed with her professionalism and preparedness. And even more important to me was how comfortable she made me feel. Not only is Michelle professional, she is a warm and compassionate person. She will definite...ly be my go to whenever I need legal counsel. Thank you Michelle

Very Helpful

Michelle was very helpful with a complicated personal motor vehicle accident involving four vehicles. She was chosen by my auto insurance to handle the insurance settlements. She is friendly, easy to talk with and takes the time to listen.

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.
