WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Melissa is excellent at coordinating a broad set of resources, both geographical and in terms of subject matter."
"She has great business sense."


MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"Michelle takes a very business-oriented approach to her clients' legal needs, focusing more on how to achieve her clients' goals than merely reciting the law. She is also very value oriented and thoughtful about bringing the right legal resources to a particular issue, but not more than what a particular issue requires."
