Hired Attorney

Michelle Bernard's law firm has a unique passion that for her profession that many other attorneys don't care enough to have. Michelle herself has the driven resolve for not just winning your case but ensuring the well being of the kids caught in between a legal battle. Its more than just a case to her. I knew that my kids are going to be okay once I heard her voice on the phone. That is why she now is our champion in the courtroom. She is a strategist, an analytical personality, driven to reach her goals, quick thinking, and ambitious. Holistic legal is the right choice. An attorney with her drive, ideals and compassion are most likely to put more time and effort into your case than those who don't possess that. I felt blessed when I first met her. I have faith in her ability to conquer her opponents. Call Holistic legal today for a phone consultation and see for yourself.

Don't let the only 5 star review fool you. She's the worst of everything. Don't answer or return you're calls. Ask you for money and just like the money she disappears. Read all the reviews and it will all be the same complaint. Wouldn't recommend to anyone but the person I'm taking to court. She's terrible and unprofessional.

Michele Bernard has lied and set false expectations of getting my support adjusted . After the hearing she didn’t bother to follow up with me not even after that meeting . She took my money and ran off offering no assistance that she told me she could help with . She coerced me into paying for her services making it seem as if it was do or die and have not came through with anything and I’m still stuck at square 1 with no true guidance, a jacked up fee in support and no custody order and parental planning in place …… ROBBERY !!!!!!

I would love to see if she has a good lawyer, but far from you can contact her back to back she will not respond then when you do hear from her she she’s been trying to get a hold of you. It’s like once she receives her money. She goes missing a hired her in 2019

I have never been so disgusted in a lawyer. She pushed for money before even having an understanding of my case. Never did she answer a phone call or email. She took my money and disappeared.
