I've been a client of Michele's for many years. Over the course of our relationship she has represented us on a number of matters, from litigations to contract reviews. I'm pleased to report that she hasn't lost yet. What she has done, is save me from myself on a few occasions. I think it's natural to buy into your own press, and take a hardline approach. Many attorney's love this, as it typically means bad decisions and more billable hours. Don't get me wrong, Michele is happy to fight the good fight and if very strategic. But what sets her apart is that she's honest about the risks and rewards; even if that means billing less. As her firm has grown, I've noticed that this care for client outcome over billables has permeated through the entire organization. I've used legal representation that costs substantially more per billable hour. I can honestly say that I'm thrilled to be working with Michele and her entire firm, and I do not feel like I compromised on quality in any way. Michele is a bulldog, with really smart associates, and a nice demeanor.

We pride ourselves on keeping our real estate taxes low. But at a certain point there comes the decision - do the costs outweigh the benefits? In disucssing this very question with one of the Brokers, he recommended that we reach out to Michele. She was refreshingly open and honest about the risks (her costs), and told me what she thought she could do, and her chances for success. In the end I decided to give it a shot, and she ended up saving me a lot more than just her fees. She's since taken over other Landlord/Tenant matters for us, and with similar positive results. She's fantastic at follow up, and in many ways keeps me from missing deadlines that impact our work together. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a Real Estate Lawyer.

Michele Ross has proven to be a rare find. She is so knowledgable in so many areas and is able to get to the core of all issues. She does not waste time, and is a pleasure to deal with. If she is not the right attorney for the job, she refers out. I am working with one of her referrals currently and couldn't be happier.

Michele Ross was recommended highly by another attorney for multiple business and residential real estate closings, and we have found that recommendation to be excellent. She is efficient and knowledgeable. She returns calls and/or emails quickly with complete, clear information. We encountered some very difficult personal issues during our legal processes, and she showed tremendous sensitivity while always being highly professional. I know that my family and I will continue to turn to her for legal counsel and needs in the future.
