My objective is to get the absolute best outcome for my client

My name is Michelle L. Kelson.  I grew up in Central Florida. I graduated with Honors from the University of Central Florida with a degree in legal studies.  I continued my studies at Barry University School of Law, again graduating with Honors. I have dedicated my career to helping others. With a background in Medical Malpractice, Personal injury, Auto Negligence and Insurance law, I work aggressively every day making sure I meet my client’s needs.  I am dedicated to resolving your case quickly while making sure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, water activities, anything outdoors, and simply having fun.  In addition, I love to travel and have spent time in places such as Saudi Arabia, Africa, England, Mexico and Spain.

My legal career began at the Orange County Public Defender's Office in February of 2005, where I worked for 9.5 years.  At the time I left in 2014, I was an attorney in the major crimes division, handling only first and second degree murder cases.  I left to start a firm with two partners, but a little over a year later, one partner needed to dissolve the firm, so I formed a solo practice to finish out my criminal cases.  I am proud to be back at the Public Defender's Office as of August 2016, helping those who cannot afford to hire an attorney.. Now that I am back at the Orange County Public Defender's office, I am not available for hire.  My clients are appointed to me based upon the charges and what judicial division the case is assigned to.  Appointed clients and their families still want to know about the attorney handling the case, so I hope this profile can provide that information and help everyone feel good about me when the client did not have the choice of picking me for representation.. I am a board certified criminal trial attorney, which means I am considered an expert in the field of criminal trials; there are approximately 431 attorneys in this state with that certification.  I have over 11.5 years of experience doing criminal defense, and have handled many first and second degree murder cases, attempted murders, robberies, carjackings, home invasions, burglaries, rapes, drug traffickings and possessions, etc.  I have had approximately 60 jury trials and approximately 10 non-jury trials, all of which were bench trials for violations of probation.  I have not counted cases where I announced a case as being ready for trial and the State dropped the case without picking a jury; I don't count those as a trial, though some private attorneys do, so be careful when looking at trial numbers, and ask questions as to what the attorney considers to be a trial.. I plan on keeping my website's blog online, but it's updated sporadically; essentially when I feel like writing.  One blog in particular is written to help families find ways to help their loved one who is charged with a crime.  If you'd like to check it out, please use the link in my profile to go to my website.

Message From Attorney Rahul Parikh:. "If you're here on AVVO, odds are you have begun your search for a trustworthy professional that will truly go the extra mile for your cause.  Or maybe you've heard about me and wanted to check me out.  Either way, you are in the right place.. I understand the process of hiring an attorney can be stressful.  It is hard to find good service providers these days in any industry, and unforunately, that is also true of the legal profession.  You can begin by checking out the various reviews that my former clients and other attorneys have left about me below and on other places on the internet, and then call my Firm at for a free consultation.. My career began in 2016 practicing real estate and contract law, but I was always a litigator at heart.  In 2017, I joined the State Attorney's Office in Orange and Osceola counties to get trial experience.  I tried fifteen (15) jury and bench trials in less than one (1) year.  As a prosecutor I spent countless hours in the courtroom appearing before various judges and conducting hundreds of evidentiary hearings. Spending time in the courthouse, I saw some great lawyers, and some not so great lawyers.  I saw how some people charged with crimes were processed through the criminal justice system and often forced to take bad deals. I saw how some clients in family cases were not provided with the right resources, information, or legal counsel. This did not sit right with me.. In 2019 I founded Parikh Law, P.A. with the mission of providing high powered representation, VIP service, and a caring team for criminal defense and family law clients.  Since then, we have proudly serviced well over 2,000 clients.  We have had countless charges dismissed, cases resolved, trials won, and defended the rights of our clients.  We have received awards from dozens of lawyer review companies, consumer agencies, magazines, and Florida lawyer's associations.  But most importantly, we have served our clients faithfully and done our best - which often resulted in outcomes better than they expected.. I live by my word and will always be straight with you.  When you hire me, I will give you my cell phone number and you can call/text/email me at any time.  Afterall, I work for you. My Firm believes that your reprsentation is about YOU, not us.. If you or someone you loved has been charged with a crime or needs legal representation for a family related issue, give me a call at the number on this profile.  We'll sit down in my office, get to know each other, discuss the unique aspects of your case, and come up with the best solution for you.". - Rahul Parikh, Esq..
