Michelle is AMAZING

Michelle listens and she informs. She knows her area of expertise very well and she is clear and direct. I don’t know what else you can ask for! She heard out our case and took every detail under consideration when offering advice. She prepared us well for next steps and we couldn’t be more grateful ...for her guidance. She is ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work and provided an overall amazing experience. I highly recommend her. She went above and beyond to help us understand our rights, our options, possible outcomes, benefits of each and made us feel important and valued during our consultation.

So helpful

Michelle was so helpful and made every effort she could to help me find the resources I needed even through just an initial phone call and I even recieved a follow up call from her to give me more info.

Best Educational Attorney in Town

As one of the few educational attorneys in town, Ms. Jones has been very experienced, professional and attentive to our case with timely response. She offered us the best legal advice and services that no one else can provide in times of need. She was also reasonable, caring and empathetic. We made... right choice of hiring her as our attorney!

Excellent Lawyer

She helped me with my case and very helpful during this difficult time in my life. She helped me clear my name and I was able to gain my job back were I was wrongfully terminated for allegations I did not commit.

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.
