Susan Lopez
I hired Michelle Carreras to handle the appeal of a complex business contract dispute. Her legal analysis was sharp, and her background from the University of Chicago Law School was evident in her thorough briefing. She clearly knows appellate procedure, and her recognition by Best Lawyers in America seems well-earned for her strategic approach. However, the experience was mixed. While the work product was solid, there were periods of several days where I received no updates on case progress, which was stressful. Responses to emails were sometimes slower than I'd hoped. For straightforward appellate matters, she is a capable attorney who gets the job done, but managing client expectations and communication timelines could be more consistent. The result was acceptable, but the process felt somewhat disjointed at times.
