"I worked with Michelle on several matters while she worked for the King County Prosecutor's Office and found her to be a formidable adversary. She distinguished herself by her thoughtfulness, independence, and skill in the courtroom. Michelle has an excellent sense of the strengths and weaknesses of her cases and a strategic vision that exceeds her peers. She now brings her considerable talents to bear in defense of those accused. It is my pleasure to endorse Michelle."

"I have handled many cases with Michelle, first when she was a deputy prosecutor in King County District Court and then as a supervisor for the same office. I believe that Michelle will make a seemless transition from the prosecutor's office to criminal defense and immigration law. She has many years of knowledge under her belt of how the prosecutor's office manages their office and how they look at cases which she will be able to now apply to her own practice in defending clients. Combining this experience with her knowledge of the law and her personality makes Michelle someone I would recommend without hesitation."

"I've had first hand experience working alongside Michelle both at the prosecutor's office and now as a criminal defense attorney. Michelle is a smart, talented attorney who approaches each case carefully and methodically, leaving no stone unturned in her effort to achieve the best results possible for her clients. If the case ends up going to trial, one cannot be in better hands than Michelle's. Her trial experience and abilities are well-known in the legal community and she has no shortage of fans in the defense bar, the prosecutor's office, and on the bench due to her hard work, careful preparation, and outstanding litigation skills. In short, you can't go wrong choosing Michelle to represent you."
