Michelle recently assisted me with an urgent issue. Although, there was not enough time (before the hearing) to hire her, she was still extremely responsive, compassionate and helpful. She was instrumental in ultimately getting my attorney and I back on track. It is rare nowadays for someone to give so much of their time and advice even though it may not lead immediately to a new client . Many attorneys will charge you several hundred dollars to do what Michelle had one for me. I will definitely use Michelle and her firm Owens & Perkins for any future issues I may have. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle was very helpful and provided information and advise regarding a probate issue. We are confident in going forward with the issues we are facing because of Michelle. She made us feel comfortable in discussing our issue and addressed all of our concerns.

Michelle did a great job helping me close my late father's estate. I would definitely hire her again.

Our family was devastated by a family loss. The unwanted and sudden realization of having to also deal with the ensuing legal matters compounded the loss and dreaded circumstances. Owens and Perkins was not only genuinely compassionate but also were personally exemplary in their understanding and professional and legal expertise in addressing and resolving our legal dilemma. They were truly honest and realistic in assessing our situation. Obviously, they are a firm that impressed me immensely for not only wanting to personally and professionally help but they also really cared. I would without compunction recommend them to anyone wanting that level of representation.

I was such a nervous wreck when I reached out to Michelle; lost in the custody forest of despair. With holidays quickly approaching and only the custody Grinch in sight, Michelle, despite barely audible due to extreme illness, looked beyond her own ailments & gave me the confidence & guidance I needed! From her action plan to her stern voice of resolve, Michelle instructed me on exactly what to do. I could not be more grateful for her generously allotted time! Happy Holidays!!

I spoke with Michelle and she confidently answered all of my questions related to my fathers estate. I would definitely recommend her and I will keep her in mind, if I need to hire an attorney in the future.

Michelle was extremely helpful, supportive and insightful with a recent family issue that required legal representation. She is tough and fair and constantly keeps us in the loop. We highly recommend her (and the firm) services.

Attorney Michelle Perkins has done an excellent job on our Wills. She answered all our questions. Attorney Perkins is very knowledgeable, intelligent and a wonderful person. She is a real professional. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Attorney Perkins to anyone who needs an Attorney.

Trustworthy. Compassionate. Through. I have been going through a very difficult child custody and support case for over 7 years. Although she did not take my case, the information I recieved during my consultation saved me thousands of dollars which would be better spent on the children rather than a case which would have ended negatively. I really respect and appreciate the fact that she showed that she was looking out for the best interest of my children and myself, not just looking to rack up legal fees. I will most definitely use her services in the future if things change, as well as refer friends, coworkers and family who may need legal assistance in the future.

I will not place accolades where they don’t belong. I am a person that does not fake or feign. I do not place fame upon those whom 1. I don’t respect or; 2. would take with me into a dual of wits. Without fail I will never hire another firm to be my advocate other than Attorney Michelle Perkins and OPLAW. Period. Paragraph. Chapter. Verse. Never.
