Client Reviews
B. A. April 24, 2023
Amazingly Supportive Attorney and Team I began working with Michele and her firm when I needed assistance with my divorce. Michele and her team were beyond supportive and helpful. My divorce should have been straightforward but was not. There were assets involved including a vacant piece of property and our family home. Michele was able to find records that my ex-husband refinanced our home for the sole purpose of creating community property. This was of great benefit to me during the divorce process as I was able to receive proceeds from the sale of our home. Frequently, misinformation was shared from my ex-husband's attorney and Michele was quick to refute these false statements with clear, concrete and factual documentation. When I went to Michele for help, I was a devastated, broken mess but with her support and guidance, I have regained my life. She provided a safe environment to work through all of the logistical pieces of dividing up my life. Her support, expertise, strength and willingness to dig deeper on issues was amazing. She will advocate for you and provide the support and compassion that you need to get through a very difficult and emotional process. I would highly recommend Michele and her firm to anyone who needs a strong, no nonsense attorney. She is absolutely terrific!

Biography

I started my own firm over 15 years ago, after five years as a partner and associate attorney at a prominent boutique Family Law firm in Everett, Washington. For over 20 years, I have limited my Family Law practice to Snohomish County where I am uniquely acquainted with Family Law commissioners, attorneys, skilled mediators, and Snohomish County judges.
I have maintained my commitment to the best resolution for my clients, whether in the courtroom or through mediation. I represent clients for divorce and separation, custody/parenting, spousal maintenance/alimony, alimony/spousal maintenance, and modification of court orders.
In addition, I focus on what has been labeled as the “gray divorce.” These present intricate challenges when the parties are nearing retirement and the children are out of the house. My clients are navigating and maintaining evolving relationships with adult children and grandchildren, while dividing retirement and investment assets, and sometimes determining some sort of alimony/spousal maintenance.
My focus is creating a durable solution for our clients, with our clients.
