I am so happy I chosen her to be my lawyer. Ms. Michaels was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with me as I asked her so many questions lol. She replied promptly with my calls or texts with any questions or concerns that I had. She allowed me to make a payment plan that was convenient for both me and her.
Most people do not anticipate that they will be charged with crimes, and if they are, they often feel as if they are unlikely to achieve successful outcomes. Many people accused of criminal offenses are found not guilty, though, since the State must present evidence sufficient to show beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant is guilty.

Ellen came into my hearing about a simple social media post with no briefs no nothing filed. She was texting me during the hearing asking if there was anything else she should say! She should’ve never lost the hearing and her lack of concern and do diligence destroyed my entire life! She doesn’t want the cases to go to trial she wants you to plea bargain and settle and lose. I wasted $7500 on her and now I had to hire another attorney for $7500 to appeal the case that she lost! $15,000 over a Facebook post that said ‘ why doesn’t he focus on his fiancé instead of focusing on me‘. Yep

Ellen has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has been timely with her responses, and it truly shows through her consistent communication, written and verbal advocacy, that she cares about her clients. She is open to creative solutions and always assures that her clients are made aware to their options as their case proceeds. She is not afraid to push the boundaries of traditional defense and I appreciate her fighting spirit.

Ellen was absolutely amazing to work with when managing our teenage sons case. She explained each step of the process and set our minds at ease as she prepared us for all avenues. When discussing the case with our son, he felt that she truly cared and was going to fight for him as if he was her son. When he was upset or wanted affirmation that he was doing the right things, Ellen heard him and responded in a calm demeanor. Her ability to explain the process to a teenager was remarkable. Ellen would always respond to our calls promptly and would call or send a text with updated information to calm
