Divorce and other family law matters are typically difficult for all involved. But they become far more difficult when attorneys encourage conflict rather than mitigate it. You won't find acrimony or even litigation when you contact Michelle S. Bullock Law & Mediation PLLC in Amherst, New York.

When thinking of marital assets, you may imagine the house, the car or home furnishings. But one of the most valuable assets is often overlooked: retirement savings. Millions of Americans have a 401(k), an IRA or a pension plan through their employer. And regardless of which spouse's name is on a given account, chances are good that a portion of the account assets is subject to division in divorce.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is an alternate option to litigation or a judge deciding your case. ADR includes mediation, collaborative practice and out-of-court negotiations and settlement. A majority of my practice is dedicated to these alternative methods of resolution to find common ground and reach a fair agreement.
Buying or selling a home or business is an exciting time. However, the process of closing on your property comes with numerous steps to ensure that your transaction remains secure. Clearing all the legal requirements for transferring ownership of a property needs to be handled by an experienced real estate attorney.

Awful attorney . Do not hire her. She screwed up on a Qdro mult times and charged us $1500. It took 9 months and still is not right. Still no communication back from her even with multiple emails my wife sent her. She will not respond back to us. We still don't know when the QDRO will be complete because she will not return any communications. Initially she told us the process would take a few months,but after her multiple mistakes, we are approaching 1 year and still have nothing! Do your self a favor and find another competent attorney, otherwise you will regret your decision as we are

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Michelle last year and this year for our real estate transactions. If you are considering working with Michelle, do yourself a favor and save time by calling her now. She went the extra mile for us multiple times and made us feel as though she cared about the transaction just as much as us. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again Michelle!

I can't say enough great things about Michelle! Michelle recently helped me on a real estate transaction to buy my first home. She was on top of things, answered all of my questions , she always got back to me quickly, and was such a joy to work with! I am beyond impressed with her hard work and dedication and very happy with how smoothly everything went. I absolutely recommend her!

Michelle is a colleague of mine and I've worked with her on many many files over the years. She is a fierce advocate who is always professional, well prepared, and knows her case forwards and backwards. I've worked with Michelle on matters where she is the attorney for the child and she is always the calming voice and the voice of reason in highly contentious matters. I highly endorse Michelle after working with her over the last 15 years.

After thirty years of marriage, three grown children and six loving grandchildren, I found myself looking to move on. My goal was to accomplish a divorce with grace, dignity and respect for myself an my ex wife. I looked for an Attorney that would help me accomplish my goals. I interviewed several Divorce Attorneys that had stellar references and recommendations. I chose Ms. Bullock. When I first met her I was most impressed with her compassion for my situation. As we talked, I was happy to realize the knowledge she has of her profession and her attention to the details of how the divorce would

I worked with Michelle on both my marital and real estate needs. She was personable, and above all, reachable. She was prompt with her correspondence; her advisement was ethical and professional. She brought legal issues to the table I had not considered given I was a novice to my circumstance. I am grateful for her expertise, advisement, and kindness during such delicate times in my life.

I have used her multiple times in the past for house closings and other consultations and each experience has been a pleasure. She was very helpful in walking me through this process, answering my questions and making recommendations based on my unique situation. I absolutely recommend her services and will not hesitate to work with her again.
