About
I am an estate planning attorney and handle the drafting of trusts, wills, and medical directives, and appearing in court for guardianship petitions and probate proceedings. Before entering private practice, I served for eleven years as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. During my last three years as a prosecutor, I was the head of the Elder Justice Center, where I oversaw the prosecution of those charged with exploiting vulnerable adults, including financial elder abuse. I have combined my extensive litigation background with my knowledge and experience in estate planning to represent clients in all forms of estate litigation. In this capacity I have assisted clients in navigating the court system with issues ranging from Will contests to claims of breach of fiduciary duty by estate executors. After seeing the financial and emotional violations that can occur at the Elder Justice Center, I decided to help people proactively plan for their future. I assist clients with carefully thought out estate planning in order to achieve protection of their assets, give clear direction for future health care decisions that may be made on their behalf, and put clear guardianship plans in place for their minor children.

Exceptional attorney. Superb communication skills. Excellent legal skills. I had a complex case that I had been working with several other lawyers and had become quite frustrated. She listened deeply, laid out the options that we could take, and made recommendations. She went to work and my case was resolved very quickly and completely to my satisfaction. She is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her.
Michelle did an excellent job of helping me think through the pros and cons of using a living trust, while being very clear that the decision was entirely mine. She efficiently guided me through the process of setting up the trust and answered my questions. She is very personable and she made it easy to talk about sensitive issues. I am confident in her abilities and integrity and have recommended her to friends.
Michelle worked with us on finalizing our trust at her last firm. She was easy to work with. Knowledgeable as well as clear in answering questions and explaining the process. She had great follow-up. She wasn't afraid to say she didn't know something and to find out for us. We had a high regard for her integrity and abilities. No problem recommending her to anyone needing estate advice.
