"I was aware that most lawyers, regardless of the area of civil law in which they practice, don't want to go before a judge because of the uncertainty. Michelle, on the other hand, is a very experienced litigator who does not fear the courtroom. While my case did not end up in court, the fact that she was well prepared to do so meant the opposing counsel was unable to intimidate her and she settled the case most satisfactorily. Really, she made the opposing counsel look not just incompetent but oftentimes foolish. The one drawback is she's in court with other cases so often she may be hard to reach at times. One other thing, I have a friend at work who is a paralegal and she has never seen a court decide a divorce case so favorably for the father as mine was. Professional and skillful. Nothing more needs to be said."
