I had some issues and I needed a lawyer, I started to call different lawyers around Maricopa and most of the lawyers either were asking for SO MUCH money just to take advantage of the situation. However, I got ahold of Michelle and she assured that I will be helped, she didn’t rip me off like the other lawyers were quoting me on my need. She was very honest and fair, she took my case, made sure everything was dropped/dismissed, and resolved my issues with the law. Very professional, best lawyer in Phoenix. Thank you so much Michelle
I had two days after being arrested for a DUI to get back into court for my appeal. I called Michelle on a Sunday and she called me back within an hour. The process of waiting for my my police report, meeting with the prosecutors, and then finally getting a court date can seem like forever. Michelle worked as diligently as she could and allowed the process to go much easier. Having an attorney to help and explain things along the way is completely worth it! Doing this alone I would not have accomplished what Michelle did. She reduced my jail time immensely and my fines are a fraction of what they should have been. I'd say hiring her was the best choice I made!
I hired Michelle for representation for a criminal misdemeanor case. She fought aggressively on my behalf throughout the entire time the case was pending. I ended up going to trial and was extremely impressed by her litigation skills. She destroyed the witnesses that testified and I was found not guilty. I can now move on with my life without a criminal record. I recommend Michelle if you ever find yourself in a bad situation. She is incredibly skilled and I'm glad that I did found her.
Ms. Bell was a wonderful choice as an attorney who delivered an incredible defense due to her diligence and expertise which resulted in the dismissal of my DUI case. She helped me feel at ease with an unfamiliar and terrifying process by corresponding with me regularly to which I am forever grateful.
First off I want to thank Michelle Belle for her exceptional performance in the courthouse. After being convicted for a DUI in 2013 and waiting trail for almost 5 years my case was resolved. I can assure you a responsible motivated attorney like Michelle can help resolve your problem with minimal effort. Prejudice diligence is something that is not argued often. Don’t let the states lack of work ethic convict you of something years after. I can tell you that hiring Michelle will assure you the best opportunity against your case.
Michelle is THE BEST. She is a super hero lawyer! I met with other top lawyers in criminal law and Dui and was so lucky to have found her. She made everything simple and prepared an amazing case. I fell asleep while driving on my way to feed my dogs early in the morning because my parents wanted me to watch the house for the weekend. I ran my car off the road and was charged with DUI. The police officer met me at the hospital and took my blood which came out to a BAC of .09. We had a terrible first plea deal that charged me with a dui and I would have to use an interlock device and spend $1,900 in fines with alcohol classes, suspended license and traffic survival school. As Michelle got ready for trial and found a few things that could help my case she was able to get the prosecutor to give me a new plea deal. Ended up with a conforming reckless charge and no interlock device with only one day in jail (just going to be positive and think of it as a bucket list item) and 15 hours of community service. Michelle was amazing at updating me whenever she found something new and was super organized. If you are online right now looking for a lawyer stop what you’re doing and schedule an appointment with Michelle. I highly recommend .
Michelle was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad that I found her. Michelle was very attentive from beginning to end with my case. Although she could never promise anything, she worked diligently to get me the best possible outcome the entire time. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and could move on with my life.
Michelle is an excellent attorney, who handled my case with efficiency and absolute professionalism. Her research into the details of my circumstances was very thorough, and resulted in a best case scenario for me. With a .14 reading, I ended up with a plea to reckless driving, and under $1000 in fines. I sincerely could not have hoped for a better outcome. I don't often write reviews, or give something a 5 star rating, but the work Michelle Bell did for me was outstanding, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who may be in need.
We contacted Michelle after becoming aware that the State had issued a warrant on a 4 year old case with charges of DUI and falsifying a police report. Michelle was expedient in getting the warrant quashed, and then once quashed worked diligently on the case. She was communicative throughout the case of necessary information for my defense and a reassuring voice of reason during an extremely trying time. She was able to successfully get the case dismissed, and we are extremely thankful for her understanding, communicativeness, and diligence in handling our case. We recommend Michelle highly!
I received a DUI and blew under the legal limit of .08. I hired Michelle to represent me. She went over every aspect of my case with me and gave me options. She was able to get it reduced to a Reckless Driving ticket w/ a 250.00 fine and a 16 hr online DUI course. She gave me the option to take it to trial to try to get it dismissed. I was happy with the Reckless Driving ticket and declined the option to go to trial. She is very personable and has a great personality. You get the feeling that other court personnel have a high opinion of her as well. I would fully recommend Michelle to anyone that has a need for a lawyer.
