With an academic background in economics, math, and accounting, I began my career working with employee benefit plans in 1994 as a defined contribution plan recordkeeper. While I enjoyed working with numbers, my curiosity about the underlying rules for administering employee benefit plans prompted me to pursue a law degree. While continuing to work full time, I attended law school classes at the Chicago-Kent College of Law and earned my Juris Doctor in 2003 with a Labor and Employment Law Certificate.. I began my legal career working at a small boutique employee benefits law firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This experience and my further experience working at a Big 4 accounting firm and a large international law firm gave me the opportunity to sharpen my skills in the employee benefits/ERISA practice area.. After twenty-five years focusing mainly on employee benefits and ERISA compliance, I made the decision to branch out and start my own practice. Having my own practice gives me the opportunity to provide services to individuals and smaller employers at reasonable rates. I am able to focus on helping my clients while doing the work I enjoy!

Practice Areas: General Practice, Family
With finely-honed skills in both negotiation and litigation, Michelle has spent her entire career assisting high-net-worth individuals and their spouses protect and preserve their assets during divorce. She has in-depth training and experience in the analysis of executive compensation packages, valuation of closely-held businesses, and other complex, hard-to-value assets and income streams.. As co-author of the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education Family Law Flash Points, Michelle is knowledgeable about the cutting edge trends in family law. She uses this insight and research to negotiate favorable outcomes for her clients and help them make the best decisions based on the current developments in the law.. Michelle works with her clients to clarify and articulate their goals by asking how they would like to see their lives after the conclusion of their family law matter. She knows that the answers will vary widely, as the goals of a business owner nearing retirement will be vastly different from those of a young mother of three children. She also explains the three primary methods of resolving disputes to the client which include mediation, the collaborative model, and traditional litigation, and works with the client to determine which is the most appropriate avenue for their individual case.. While out-of-court-settlement is the primary goal, Michelle’s talent as a litigator makes her a very effective advocate for her clients in court, if such route is necessary. She has successfully prosecuted and defended cases at the trial and appellate levels.. A graduate of the American Bar Association’s Advanced Trial Advocacy Institute focusing exclusively on business valuations, Michelle has been recognized in Best Lawyers of America (2015), an Illinois Super Lawyer (2013-2015), an Illinois Rising Star Attorney (2012), and by the Leading Lawyers Network (2012-2015). She is also a past recipient of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin’s “40 Under 40” award. She is a certified Divorce Financial Analyst and also holds certifications in Collaborative Law and mediation.. Michelle is a frequent author and lecturer on family law subjects and currently co-authors the IICLE Family Law Flash Points with Donald C. Schiller. She served as liaison to the committee responsible for reviewing and redrafting the Cook County local court rules which govern domestic relations cases and is a Past-Chair of the Chicago Bar Association Domestic Relations Committee.
