Her extensive experience in IP law, highlighted by her recognition as one of Best Lawyers, was evident throughout the process. Michelle’s strategic approach and thorough understanding of complex legal issues made a significant difference in the outcome.

Michelle A. Herrera's breadth of experience in intellectual property law was evident in the way she handled my patent infringement case. Having been recognized in this field by Best Lawyers, I had high expectations, and while she certainly delivered competent legal counsel, there were areas where the process felt uneven. Her strategic approach to navigating the complexities of IP law was reassuring, and her deep understanding of the legal nuances was clear. However, I found that communication could be more consistent—there were times when responses to my inquiries were delayed, and follow-ups often required additional effort on my part. Additionally, the billing transparency could be improved; while her rates were reasonable, I would have appreciated clearer expectations upfront regarding potential costs. Overall, Michelle's expertise in intellectual property law is undeniable, and she effectively resolved my case, but the experience could have been smoother with better communication and proactive updates. Her reputation as a top lawyer in the field is well-deserved, but these small improvements would elevate the client experience.

Overall, Michelle is competent, but I would have appreciated a more streamlined approach to keeping me informed.
