I needed help with getting my matter handled under the wire. Most attorneys would not take it on but after I met with Michelle for a consultation, she said no problem and I got you and I could tell she meant it. This was my first time needing legal help and I know nothing about family and divorce law.... She was able to explain the law in a way I could understand, looked out for my interests and asked questions no one else did to help protect me. I felt as confident in her and her paralegal Paige at the end of the representation as I did when I hired her or maybe even more! She is also easy to talk to and we would probably be friends is I met her IRL! If you need help in family law Michelle is the only person you need to call.

Michelle, Shemika, Lisa, and others on the Dellino team were and continue to be informative, responsive, and helpful throughout my situation. We were always able to sync up before any important court dates and deadlines, discuss our options, and have a plan even during twists and turns. Having never ...been involved in legal situations before, they showed lots of patience with me as I had many questions about the process, expectations, and options on how to proceed. If you're looking for a communicative legal team for family law situations, Michelle and her team are great.

I can’t say enough good things about Michelle, her paralegal Lisa, and the entire practice. They helped me navigate the scariest year of my life. Last year I was absolutely blindsided by my husband leaving. I had given up my career to be a stay at home mom for the last 4 years. I had no access to fin...ancials and was totally dependent on him. I knew I needed a tough lawyer that knew how to deal with high conflict individuals. I have no family in WA and wanted to move back to CA with my daughter. I interviewed several lawyers and I could tell they didn't have what it would take for my case. They all told me it would be almost impossible for me to move back to CA with my daughter and it would be a waste to even try. Then I met Michelle. I could tell within minutes of talking to her that she was the one. She explained that I was entitled to which was astronomically more than the other lawyers told me. She also said she thought there was a chance I could get approval to move back to CA with my daughter. We ended up settling the case in mediation and Michelle got me OVER 50% of the marital assets and she even got my move to CA approved! In the end I decided to stay in WA because of a great settlement deal. During the year-long divorce process Michelle and her team were there for me. Lisa, her paralegal, is one of the kindest most caring people. Anytime conflict arose she was there for me and always made me feel better. If I had gone with a less expensive lawyer I would have walked away with less in the end. You can’t afford to not hire Michelle. She will fight for you and at the same time such a pleasure to work with. I will forever be thankful to Dellino law group and will continue to use them again if anything comes up in the future.

I inquired with Michelle to help with a settlement agreement after ending a long-term (7 years) relationship. When I met with her for the consultation, Michelle seemed compassionate and on my side, yet gave an unbiased, professional opinion. I didn't want an attorney to help me drag my ex through ...the mud, I just wanted legal counsel so I could fully understand my rights with our mutual assets/debts. She very clearly explained the process, the expected timeframe and the expected outcome in the consultation. I hired her on the spot, confident that she would be the one who would guide me through this sticky process. I was most impressed with Michelle's timely responses throughout the duration of 8 months. She always responded within 72 hours and most of the time within 24 hours. I appreciated how Michelle's emails were thorough, with enough information that we didn't have to go back and forth several times and cost excess money; she worked her hardest to stay within my budget for legal expenses. Her advice remained consistent; she always brought it back to my original requests to move forward with my life as quickly, as fairly and as inexpensive as possible. Michelle worked with integrity and complete interest in my case. I know she had several other clients she was working with, but she never made it seem like my process was too small or too large or in any way an inconvenience. I never felt like Michelle was trying to gouge me for more money - she communicated any impending additional costs up front and offered all options if we were to move in a different direction than we originally intended. Fortunately, we didn't have to move another route and we stayed within her original quote AND the result was fair and exactly what I wanted. Although I was ecstatic to learn that my case was coming to an end, it was bittersweet to send that last "thank you" email to Michelle. I learned a lot from this experience, mostly that in a domestic partnership, I need to protect my legal rights up front. I have chosen to use Michelle's services for the next phase in my life - to be proactive in protecting my assets before cohabiting with my current partner. I would strongly recommend Michelle's services to anyone looking for an attorney who follows through on what she promises and does so in a concise, professional manner and stays within budget. I've known many attorneys in my life, but have only met one inwhom I am confident enough to say she acts with integrity. Thanks Michelle for everything!

Ms Dellino and her associates handled my case with accurate and expedient care. She was able to explain the specifics of my case with me in non-legal terms to make sure that I completely understood all that was involved. She ordered all of the paperwork required to file my motion and even drove thr...ee counties away to appear in court on my behalf. Her team followed up on each detail of my case and made sure that my information was corrected and accurate across the boards. There is so much stress and anxiety that goes into even the smallest legal issues, and Michelle Dellino alleviated that almost entirely from the first time that we spoke and I hired her. She was able to clarify multiple mistakes that were filed by the county clerk to bring those to the attention of the judge. She followed up with me personally to confirm when all paperwork was complete. I would hire her again without question.
