My child lived in another state across the country from me. I hadn’t seen my child in almost a year. My child’s mom is an attorney. I had a lot of things going against me.... but I found Michelle Carlton. She is a gosh darn big hitter!!! She took no flak, and at the end of an 18mo battle with an extremely shady opposition, she won out for me... and she won big. My daughter was on a 3hr flight to visit me within 2wks of the ruling! Michelle gives it to you straight. But what Michelle gives to opposing council that act immoral and shady is something I wish on no person.

Michelle has repeatedly exceeded my expectations. I have hired her multiple times and have NEVER been disappointed! She knows what she is doing and is always well prepared and ready to fight for her clients! I could never thank her enough for all she has done for me and my kids. Hire her if you want an attorney who truly cares, listens, informs, and fights for you! Thank you so much Michelle!!!

She took my case when several other attorneys told me I had no chance. I was scared and didn’t know what to do but she held my hand through the whole process. Going through a divorce is hard going through a divorce without proper counsel is harder and I’m glad I had her. She told me to listen to her and she would get me through this and she did! I was prepared for the hearings and my ex husband was not ( you do not want to sit in front of a judge not prepared.) My ex was represented by one of the biggest firms in Arizona and you could tell he fell through the cracks. I felt like Michelle cared for me and my children during this. Michelle is smart and professional and anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner. I came out a winner and so did my children! Hire her! Listen to her!

From the start I had a great feeling that Michelle would handle my case both professional and timely. Michelle kept me up to date as my case unfolded. I knew what to expect and when to expect it. On our court date the hearing could not have gone smoother. The outcome was in our favor, Thanks to Michelle's diligence and professionalism. I would defiantly recommend her for your Legal needs and I will reach out to her in the future if needed.

When you start the process of divorce or custody it is overwhelming right? Do you already feel defeated? Yes, I felt the same way 500 miles away from the most important part of my life, my son, when I hired her based off a referral and over the phone. Since that minute Michelle has beyond exceeded my wildest expectations and amazing representation when I first hired her. Michelle is not only hands down the best lawyer I could ever acquire, but also the most amazing human being. Michelle is by far what you want when you start this journey. The best part is you don’t have to wait until it is over to feel and know in your soul you are a winner and you are doing everything you can in your battle. She has been there for me whenever I need guiding me and helping offering solutions or just simply listening. Which is what a lawyer is supposed to do!!! I don’t have to reach out to ask her to do things that are important to me. If you are honest and forthcoming with what is realistic and important she does it and touches base with you along the way. If I have questions or something doesn’t feel right or I just feel more comfortable with words being changed it’s done within reason, if not she tells me what is realistic she listens and understands!! From a single mom with no family close to support I can tell you she is a God sent. Who can say that they love, adore and admire their divorce lawyer? Simply put... I can and I mean that from ever cell in my body. I do not have enough amazing words to say about Michelle and her representation, but I can say if you don’t hire her you will wish that you did. Moving forward if I ever need representation again she will be the only one I use and send my loved ones, friends and aquintences to.

I want to begin by saying Michelle is an outstanding lawyer and does not back down. She has defended me on two separate occasions. I am very pleased with her services and would recommend Michelle to anybody that needs an outstanding Lawyer. Last but not least I’d like to say that Michelle is a people person and she is very committed to what she does for families . Keep up the great work Michelle thank you again. Joe

We we're referred to Michelle for my daughter. Michelle helped us with so much, so much, I couldn't thank you her enough! Long story short Michelle was a miracle we needed, and we got it. My husband was able to adopt my daughter in less than 8 months. Michelle worked hard to get what we needed. I appreciate her for everything. If you need help and need a incredible lawyer call Michelle carlton I highly recommend!

During one of the most difficult times of my life, I found myself searching for a good family law attorney. I hired Michelle Carlton to represent me for my divorce proceedings. From day one, Michelle fought for me in a way that is indescribable and unforgettable. She is truly an angel and assured me through this process that she would do everything she could to minimize the emotional turmoil that is often experienced at a time like this. She also ensured that my side of the story would be heard and that everything would be kept fair and equitable. Michelle comforted me during this process through her strength, knowledge and understanding of the law. I felt such comfort during this horrific time knowing that I had Michelle on my side. If anyone is searching for a family law attorney who will go above and beyond, you need to hire Michelle Carlton. You won't find a better attorney than Michelle Carlton!

Michelle Carlton goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job! She is a no-nonsense, get it done attorney and pulls no punches. She tells it like it is, knows what she's doing, and follows through. She has helped me tremendously and if/when I feel the need ... I will definitely keep her on retainer for all my family law needs and concerns!

Where do I even begin!? Best decision I made! Granted each case is differently but she did everything to WIN MY CASE!! In my most desperate time she kept me sane, focus, and in line. I was very satisfied with the outcome, she fought hard to make sure that I was able to continue to have my child live with me versus move out of state with her father. Michelle Carlton fought hard for me and my child. She is professional, showed up when she needed to, answer all my emails, and thousands of phone calls/texts. She really does care about her clients and their families, and their situation. She explains everything in detail, never got frustrated when asked questions, she explains the process. Not only that, she looks out for what is to come and any decisions that might affect you or your case. SHE IS WORTH IT! She will be the only one that I hire for all my needs. Anyone who needs a lawyer I refer to her and ONLY HER!! She is straight forward and honest from the start! No hidden fees/cost. LISTEN TO HER AND ALL THAT SHE SAYS, THE OUTCOME WILL BE IN YOUR FAVOR!!! The most important thing aside from all of this is that Michelle is very knowledgeable and does not treat you like a bank or client! She treats you like a friend/family! Michelle is someone who will fight hard for you, someone that advocate for you and your family, You will not regret hiring her to be your attorney! BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!

Michelle was not only professional in handling my case she was personable. She genuinely cared about my children and their well being she fought for their best interest and mine. Michelle was just the best thing that ever happened to us! I worked with other attorneys for the past 8 years and seemed to never get anything done I felt they only cared about money. I'm so greatful I found her, she got me everything I needed for custody and child support. Also, Michelle worked really good with me and explained everything in detail so I was never confused about anything! Michelle is more than an attorney she's a great person with a big heart, I will continue to use her and recommend her to anyone who asks! I just love her work ethic and caring personality, she gave me a peice of mind I never thought I would have. Thank you Michelle!!

I was so happy when Michelle received my case. I was married 34 years and needed a representative that would look out for my future. I wasn't made false promises just frank information. The cost was well worth the time and effort put in by this attorney. Michelle went out of her way for me and changed things last minute as required or needed. I considered her a friend after all was said and done. Thanks Michelle. I will refer as necessary if anyone ever in need of services.
