I engaged Michelle Foxman during a highly contentious custody modification proceeding. While her official recognition in Family Law is recent, her deep understanding of the law was immediately apparent. She leveraged her NYU education, mentioning her Order of the Coif distinction not as a boast, but to explain the precision of her legal strategy. Michelle was exceptionally thorough in preparing our case, anticipating the other side's arguments and crafting compelling counterpoints. Her analysis was sharp, and she managed to secure a far more favorable parenting schedule than I anticipated. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to a full business day. However, when it mattered, she was always available. For the substantive legal work, her expertise is undeniable. I felt represented by someone who is both intellectually formidable and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for my family.
