Michelle Smith has represented me in two extremely important family-law matters involving my…read morechildren, and I trusted her with my family twice for a reason. In 2023, Michelle represented me in a case that resulted in my older daughter being placed with me. She later graduated from high school and earned a scholarship, an outcome that meant enormously to our family. Three years later, when serious concerns arose involving my younger daughter, I turned to Michelle again. This was a difficult, high-conflict case involving years of history, extensive documentation, and conflicting accounts. Michelle cut through the noise, mastered the evidence, and focused on what mattered. I personally watched her examine witnesses, address opposing arguments, and methodically present the facts. Both sides had the opportunity to be heard, the court considered the evidence, and the judge issued temporary orders placing my younger daughter primarily with me. I understand that not everyone will be happy with the outcome of a court case. Losing can produce strong feelings, and the internet makes it easy to express them. But dissatisfaction with a result should not be confused with the quality or integrity of the attorney who successfully presented her client's case. Courtrooms operate on evidence, not online reviews. I can speak only to my firsthand experience: Michelle was exceptionally prepared, professional, and effective. Two difficult cases. Years apart. When my family needed an attorney again, I chose Michelle again. The results speak louder than the noise. Five stars without hesitation.

Ugh!!!! I'm so sad to have to write this update. So as you see I gave this attorney 5 stars for her…read moreprofessionalism and just for the love that she gave me personally. Now, since then, I've actually sent her a few clients; one being a childhood friend. My friend ended up retaining her and was going to file for divorce. My friend had a change of heart and decided to wait until she was certain. My friend asked for a refund and Michelle sent her an invoice for work done. This was almost a year and some months ago. Fast forward to this year, now my friend is ready to go through with the divorce and calls Michelle back, and says she's ready. Come to find out nothing was ever filed yet her invoice states she paid filing fees, and that it was filed. You have to trust your lawyer and Michelle, although sweet as pie may not be as ethical as I thought. Just disheartened that she sent an invoice for work she never completed at the time. I've sent her four people, I wonder if she knows that people come to her from recommendations. Could not ever praise her or recommend again. Total deceit.

He pointed me in the right direction and gave me peace of mind, which you can't put a price on! Very professional and stupendously knowledgeable.

So Townsend Allala, Coulter and Kludt is the law firm to help out. After a short discussion, I realized I made some mistakes, but it wasn't too late to get things in order.

Hired for traffic ticket dismissal after being referred by friends. The attorney did nothing for…read morethe citations as I still ended up paying enormous fines but that is not why I'm leaving a poor review. I was mailed the disposition 13 days after the Court date with a notice that I had 10 days from disposition to pay the Court fine. Well 13 days had already passed and the letter was not clear about what the disposition was. So I called their office to get a clarification. I was just trying to find out whether the tickets were dismissed or not. It could have been a simple response ' no, they were not dismissed. I'm sorry the letter wasn't clear but you will have to pay fines and fees'. However, the staff specifically a young woman named Arcy was extremely rude and condescending. She kept interrupting me and raising her voice when I would try to ask her a question. When you pay for a service you expect to be treated with courtesy and dignity. The office personnel needs some serious customer service training. They are awful. The staff is reflective of the attorney. If they are dismissive of a paying client what makes you think the attorney will be attentive to your case? So I would not use them again and I would tell anyone reading this review not to either.
