Client Testimonials

Here’s what our clients and colleagues are saying:

“Michelle Thomas saved my family. She is unbelievably hard working, hyper-prepared and has an uncanny, encyclopedic knowledge of the law. She once left a conference in Texas — where she was supposed to receive an award — and flew overnight so she could file a brief and get me into court the next morning. She is careful with costs to the point of obsession.

More than anything, she’s one hell of a trial lawyer. In my case, she was going up against one of D.C.’s ‘Top 50’ divorce lawyers, a woman who became famous by crushing a well-known sports figure. I was sure I was going to get slaughtered. If a beloved Washingtonian couldn’t beat this lawyer, what chance did I have?

You should have seen Michelle in action. If she was angry, it never showed. If she was worried, you’d never guess it.

Then it was Michelle’s turn to go on the offensive. After one hour of a deposition, the other side’s star witness was literally shaking. Michelle never raised her voice.

The case settled – on the same terms Michelle offered at the beginning of the litigation.

Thanks to Michelle, my kids and I are together again. Last week, we went to the pool together. This past weekend, we made fried chicken and baked a chocolate cake together. We play flashlight tag when it gets dark and ‘stinky feet’ when the sun comes up. We draw and color Spider Man and Disney princesses and Elmo together, dance to ‘Purple People Eater’ and the Pogues together, snuggle on the couch together, read ‘Bunnicula’ together and watch ‘Sponge Bob’ or ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ together.”

-- Bill Myers (Client)

“Michelle Thomas is truly an outstanding individual and attorney. She is persistent, detailed, confident, and ethical. A few months ago, a very close family friend contacted me regarding a family law matter. I referred the case to Michelle and her outstanding staff at M.C. Thomas & Associates. Needless to say, Michelle did an outstanding job in solving the client’s problem. She was very responsive and treated this client with the outmost care and respect. Michelle is my ‘go to’ attorney for family law and other civil matters in Washington, D.C. and Virginia.”

-- Eddie Neufville, Managing Partner, MoraisNeufville Law Firm, PC

“Over the course of the past couple of years, I have come to know Michelle well and can personally vouch for her capabilities as a family law attorney. She is immensely talented; yet, she is also practical, well-balanced, and always thoroughly prepared. Unlike many attorneys who only have “one gear,” Michelle has the innate ability to intermingle personal charm with a tiger-like tenacity in furtherance of getting the job done. There simply isn’t a legal battle that she isn’t truly equipped to handle. The best evidence of my endorsement of Michelle as a provider of family law legal services is that I have repeatedly recommended her to my closest friends (and will continue to do so in the future). She is a true gem and a wonderful attorney. Without question, I highly recommend her.”  February 3, 2010
