Ms. DaRe reached out to me regarding a legal issue even though she no longer deals in custody issues specifically. She called me and talked to me at length. She was professional, compassionate and honest and if you need a lawyer who will care Ms. DaRe appears to be that person. I've never had a lawyer call who couldn't specifically help me but offer options and insights as to what avenues I might pursue. That's a professional. It gave me hope for the legal profession.

I had a lot of lawyers throughout the years. Some not so good. Others or just OK nothing really made him stand out but they all had no problem Taking your money without really caring the outcome. Michelle on the other hand actually cares about her clients. She will stick with you till the end and see it all through. She knows how to make sure all the Ts are crossed and the i dotted. She is very thorough and fair. I can't say enough about Michelle if I ever have to do it again I want her by my side.

Michelle was recommended by a friend and was the 4th attorney that I hired during the 4 years that it took to complete my contentious divorce. I have also worked extensively with attorneys during my career. The thing that I liked most about working with Michelle is that, unlike many other attorneys, she is more interested in achieving a reasonable settlement for all parties rather than going thru useless legal exercises and filings which run up the fees without accomplishing anything. She also has a personality and is actually enjoyable to talk to and work with. Although my ex-wife refused to go the mediation route, Michelle’s mediation skills were very valuable at times during the process. (BTW- knowing couples that have done mediation, I highly recommend that vs. going the divorce master route if at all possible). While she is not the cheapest lawyer you can use, she is also *not* the most expensive. Although I still hated spending the money, I felt that Michelle provided good value for the services that she provided and I highly recommend her. And oh yeah, she is very knowledgeable and competent.

My wife and I used her services for our divorce mediation. She saved us so much time, money and heartache, and kept everything upbeat throughout the whole process, which she made very fast. We were both so comfortable with her. After hearing so many horror stories from others going through a divorce about their attorneys, we couldn't believe how Michelle made a tough time so easy. She is thorough, personable, warm and compassionate a s well as very knowledgable and to the point.

Once she became involved in my divorce case, I never had another worry because she handled it all very fairly and reasonably and most of all, wonderfully. She never let the other attorney upset her and she refused to make me pay money to run to court because my spouse's attorney was in it for that. I have referred her to some friends and co- workers who have said the same things about her.

Stuck with me through it all. My case was drawn out because of my husband and she doggedly kept at it to its final conclusion and a great result for me. Always kept me informed and was always available. Very fair with her billing.
