This is Michelle. She has dedicated her career to the field of domestic relations.

Sometimes, you need a lawyer that is more than just an advocate- you need a confidant and friend who will be there for you.

"I first met Michelle at a CLE where I was presenting on a topic and got to know her. Later, I attended a CLE where she presented on the intersection between state family law and the Indian Child Welfare Act. Here knowledge was masterful and I was impressed. We have since had several occasions to see each other and discuss cases we have, and I know if I ever had a case I could not take on, I would happily refer it to her. Moreover, given her vast experience in tribal courts, I would recommend her to anyone with a question or issue before those courts as well her experience in the area of domestic violence."
