"As soon as I realized things may not go smoothly [with my client's case], I contacted Michelle May O'Neil. She immediately became immersed in the facts of my client's case, pointed out some overlooked issues, and suggested a wise course of conduct.

"Michelle is a lethal combination of sweet-and-salty. When the situation calls for it, she is genuinely warm and kind, the epitome of the Southern Belle. But when her hackles are up, there is no stopping her! She cannot be out-gunned, out-briefed, or out-lawyered. I have never seen Michelle – all 5 foot 1 of her – be intimidated by anyone, whether they’re 30 years her senior, a more prominent lawyer, or, even, sitting in the judge’s seat.
