Michelle Finch quickly prepared our Wills and advised us on our estate planning during a health crisis. We also sought Michelle's practical wisdom on complicated estate and trust matters. She's intelligent, kind, and has a high energy level for her clients. I highly recommend Michelle Finch at Gravis Law to everyone who needs legal advice or estate planning.

I have know Michelle for several years, and have recently consulted with her. I came to know Michelle while I previously worked in the same field but with a different attorney. I know Michelle to be an awesome attorney, friendly, reliable, honest, dependable, ethical, and "gets the job done". I've come to rely on her for any legal questions I have. She's more honest than other attorneys I have known, i.e., the one I was employed by.
