Great communicator and great result

Michelle handled a convoluted personal injury case for me after I was hit on my bicycle by an inattentive driver. I had in a variety of injuries from the crash, some of which took almost three years to resolve. Michelle got my denied claims covered, and negotiated a good settlement that was signifi...cantly higher than the original offers. To accomplish this she had to navigate medical records from numerous doctors, stay on top of inept billing departments, deal with an uncooperative insurance company intent on denying claims, and more, all with great patience and attention to detail. She kept me well informed throughout the process and was overall enjoyable to work with. Thanks Michelle!

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.
