I hired Michelle to help me with my long-time battle with Bank of America. Not only did Michelle get great results with the Bank, but she also was fair on my pocketbook. I also referred my best friend to her to handle his divorce and he also is completely happy. Michelle has indicated that her entire firm, Bolhouse Baar & Lefere have the same high commitment to excellent legal representation, ethical billing, and extraordinary client service. If I need a lawyer, I'll always call her first.

Michelle helped me deal with a bank that tried to ruin my credit and scam money from me after they had already been payed off. Michelle is an excellent quick study when reviewing the case. Doesn't hesitate to get started which resulted in quick results.

I have a had a very difficult case to deal with. Michelle has been by my side, guided and reassured me through the process. My situation has gone from horrible to progressively better, and will only get better with her by my side. She treats you with respect and listens to concerns. Michelle truly wants the best for her clients and she fights full force. Thanks Michelle for all you do!

I felt lost and hopeless with my situation. The first conversation with Michelle and I knew better days were ahead. Her knowledge, energy and tenacious pursuit of my case were never in doubt the entire 5 months she represented me. She picked me up when I doubted the results and always referenced the law specifics and how it supported my case. She always seemed personally invested in my case. I often find customer service and people’s passion for their job lacking these days. It was refreshing to have someone exceed my expectations with the job performance. If you have a case with merit, Michelle will wield her legal knowledge and skill to the full extent for you.

In 14 years of contentious custody litigation, I have had some of West Michigan's finest legal representation. I have hired literally dozens of family lawyers, but it took Michelle McLean to finally Win my case. Thanks to her, I got my son back. It just doesn't get better than that, does it? When I met Michelle, I didn't have much of an income, but she took my case anyway, I was thrilled. I really felt like she believed in me. And her faith in me made all the difference. In Court, she was always two steps ahead of opposing counsel, often leaving them stupefied, and playing catch up in the wake of her savvy. It was beautiful to finally witness Justice being served by this talented woman. This... Legal Ninja. She is extremely attentive to her Clients. She actually returns calls and texts promptly, even at night from home. And she listens. I have NEVER met a lawyer who does that. On a personal level, this woman is The Real Deal-- No pretense. No grandiose condescension or intimidation. No cons, games, or manipulations. McLean is the kind of passionate, dedicated and sincere litigator that you see playing the protagonist in the movies. But she's REAL. And she fights like a Tiger for her Clients! I am heartened to see that the other reviews on this site for her are all outstanding. The one-star exception was probably posted by mistake, because it couldn't be more wrong about her! I bet the negative review will soon vanish. The Reviewer is probably just waiting for an Avvo Admin to help them delete it, I imagine. At least that's what I would do if I were them. In addition to being a Stellar Litigator, MCLEAN is a just a delight to work with. She's respectful, compassionate, conscientious, courageous, and collaborative with her Clients. She is also contagiously funny, and a treat to work with. GO MCLEAN!

My ex-husband is a sociopathic narcissist. He had alienated me from my oldest son, and wanted to take my three other kids away from me too just so he'd not have to pay me any child support. He told me that if I ever left, he'd make my life a living hell. Well, he was winning...UNTIL I hired Michelle McLean. Talk about a pitbull wearing lipstick! LOL. After the whole ugly custody hearing was over, my ex walked over to Michelle and complimented her on her professionalism and how she NEVER lost focus on what was important: my kids' best interests. He has not bothered me since, and as long as he knows that Michelle is busy sharpening her teeth-the peace in my home remains. Thanks Michelle! God bless you!

Michelle was there for me in a very tough time in my life. I did not expect my case to be so emotionally draining and I just did not have it in me to fight. Michelle came through for me. It felt good knowing that she was looking out for me and had my back. She got me what was fair and I am pleased. Another thing I can say is that Michelle has been blessed with the gift of wisdom by the Holy Spirit. Thanks Michelle.
