Michelle is absolutely amazing. She operates with ethics and humility, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I’ve used several lawyers in this area. She is the only one I would recommend!

Response from owner

Thank you so very much for the incredibly kind review!

I was feeling as if the bottom had fallen out of my life after a very traumatizing situation. I reached out to Michele at Meridian Law at the recommendation of a previous co-worker. From the beginning, she was realistic about the possible outcome and what was entailed in the process. At no time did I feel like I was not being heard or that I was just a number in a queue. We were in for a fight, but Michele and her team helped me patiently navigate the process. If you want someone who is in the fight for you and with you, Michele at Meridian Law should be your choice.

never even called me back I left multiple messages if I could give zero Stars I would

Response from owner

Mr. Ainsworth:<br>We want to apologize for any missed calls that may have occurred in relationship to you reaching out for possible legal representation. We receive many calls everyday, but we diligently strive to timely respond to them. That said, we have reviewed our records thoroughly, and we do not have any evidence of any calls from you at anytime, nor messages. So, we’re not entirely sure what occurred. That said, we will continue to be as responsive as possible to prospective clients. We are very sorry for whatever occurred here. We wish you the very best in finding legal representation.

Refused to take my case Tennant vs Land Lord... I get to go to court without representation. 😭

Response from owner

We are very sorry that we could not take your case. Unfortunately, while we wish that we could, we simply cannot take every prospective case that comes into our office. We have to balance our existing cases and emergent deadlines for those Clients against our ability to take on a new matter. We are sorry that we could not be of assistance. Unfortunately, our Team just does not have "enough time in the day" to help every single person that calls us on a new possible case. It is definitely not a representation of our quality of work for existing Clients, nor our compassion and care for those that are suffering through legal issues. We hope that you are able to find another lawyer to assist you. We wish you the very best!

Michele is a powerfully smart and experienced attorney - I was lucky enough to work with her on a consultancy basis and she assisted me in gaining the confidence I needed to handle a troubling conflict with a business partner. I value her expertise so much that I have used her again. I'm very grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced, reasonable, realistic and respectful attorney who is well-networked in Montana and has a 20 year record of experience with the law.

Response from owner

Tara: You don’t know how much this meant to us, especially after a high conflict week of lawyering. It made our Team tear up. It was truly our pleasure to assist you. You are a gracious, intelligent, and kind woman, and we wish more people were like you in the World. Please don’t ever hesitate to reach out for assistance. It is our honor to work with you!

A colleague and I reached out to Michelle for guidance on a case. We were inexperienced and Michelle was patient and explained things with respect and candor that helped us to make an educated decision. She spent nearly 90 minutes with us in the initial meeting to make sure we fully understood the options available to us. Michelle's patience and desire to support ordinary people seeking legal assistance was impressive. She is what an attorney should be!

Response from owner

Thank you so much, Coralee, for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly heartwarming to read your kind words. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to assist you with your case.

Never got a return call or email after 2 calls and email. I allowed several days between calls and email. To date its been a week and I've found help elsewhere. ...... UPDATE, This review only reflects the inability to reach someone. It does not reflect the ability of the attorney. This is a small practice without extensive admin support. Both the admin and attorney reached out and apologized for not getting back to me. They went above and beyond to apologize. If I did need an attorney I would absolutely give them a try. Hopefully they will change their messages about a 24 hour response. It's great to strive for that, but set expectations according to what they know they can do. We all have that challenge.

Response from owner

Christina: We are very sorry we missed your calls/email seeking assistance. Unfortunately, it takes us some time to respond to prospective clients, because of our existing workload. However, we apologize that we were not more timely in responding to you. We are glad you found assistance elsewhere. We wish you the best!

I am pleased to share my exceptional experience with Meridian Law, PLLC and Michele Braukmann. Michele's professionalism, patience, and unwavering support during my employment litigation were truly remarkable, even when I may not have been the easiest client to work with. Her deep expertise, knowledge, and commitment to honesty make her a standout attorney. Over the past four years, Michele has not only been a legal guide but also a trusted confidante, navigating me through a myriad of legal complexities with patience and understanding. I have confidently recommended her to others and will continue to do so. Michele is not only a distinguished attorney but also a compassionate, genuine, and dedicated professional who epitomizes excellence in her field. Thank you, Michele, for your exceptional support, unwavering dedication, and the genuine care you provide to your clients.

Response from owner

Oh my word, Tyrel. I'm literally crying reading this. These are some of the most heartfelt and amazing words that I could ever imagine. That you took the time to leave this review, it speaks volumes about you, as a human being, and it reminds me exactly why I represented you. You are an amazing person, and I was so blessed, even in bad circumstances, to work with you. I will hold these words so close to my heart. I cannot tell you how much they mean to me. I pray and hope, always, for you and your precious girlies' successful life moving forward. It was honestly one of the best gifts to my life to represent you. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your honor to me and my firm. You're an amazing man, and I'm so blessed that I was able to help you. I will continue to follow you and your girlies' journey, moving forward. I pray peace and love upon you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this tonight.

I practiced law for many years and have had the opportunity to work with many lawyers over my 40yr career. Michele Braukmann is one of the very top, most competent, knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and fair lawyer that I have had the pleasure of working with. She is a genuine human being who is assertive and aggressive where appropriate. She was invaluable in helping me navigate my complex wrongful discharge claim against one of the largest and best known tech brands. Her team is just as strong. From my first call with her paralegal, the quality of the practice was apparent.

Response from owner

Thank you so much, Steve! We were honored to work with you. Hope all is well!

I had the best experience working with Michele and Meridian Law. This was my first time needing legal representation, and she guided me through every step. It meant everything that she believed in me and was fighting for me during a difficult time. She is extremely knowledgeable about Montana law, and worked tirelessly for a successful result. She listens intentionally, gives realistic counsel, and truly cares for her clients. I cannot thank her enough!!

Response from owner

Paul: Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words and amazing review. We were honored to be able to assist you. You are a wonderful person, and you are exactly the type of client that we hope to be able to assist, when you're faced with a difficult situation that you need support and advocacy for. Thank you for trusting us, honoring us with your legal representation, and for being someone who always listened with an open mind to our recommendations. We know your future is so bright, and we cannot wait to see where the World takes you. Stay in touch! All of our best!

Having nowhere left to go with a traumatizing experience, I reached out to Michelle with Meridian Law. Immediately, her professional decorum along with ability to empathize with the challenges we were facing put me at ease. At no point was Michelle hiding the harsh realities of potential outcomes, while still giving hope and reassurance that the fight we were getting into was worth fighting. She showed genuine care, understanding, and patience as we navigated murky waters together. She listened to our desired outcomes and met them with reality. If you want someone who will actually listen to what you have to say and support you in your fight, Meridian Law would undoubtedly do that for you.

Response from owner

Marie: What an incredibly humbling and beautiful review of our work. You are an exceptional person, and it was truly our honor to work with you and your family. As we spoke about, through these trials, great things come, and I know what an amazing asset you are to your new employer. Thank you for trusting in us, believing in our advice, and working with us to try to remedy what was a situation that you should never have been put in. Working with clients like you is exactly why we do this work -- to try to help people through these most difficult moments. I look very much forward to staying in touch, and knowing how many lives you will continue to change with your leadership! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a humbling review! And, Happy Father's Day to your lovely husband!

I presented an extremely complicated and severely off track family law case to Meridian Law. I had already been told “no” by 7 other attorneys. Meridian Law not only took on this huge task, but did so with expertise, skill and absolute passion. Michele did not relent until everything in my case was under control. Having Meridian Law representing my kids and I was nothing short of miraculous. Michele invests in her clients and their wellbeing relentlessly, her attentiveness, compassion and dedication brought a speedy and once in a life time resolution to my case. With the exceptional skill and professionalism of Meridian Law, I received a better outcome than I ever could have dreamed of. Thank you, and forever grateful ~Kate M.

I had the very best experience with Meridian Law! Michelle was kind, professional, and knowledgeable with uncommonly prompt communication so there was no leaving a message with someone in the office and anxiously waiting for days for a response. She was incredibly ethical and just really helped me navigate difficult choices during a difficult season. I would recommend her to anybody needing legal representation as someone they could trust to know the law and be fair but fierce.

Response from owner

I literally cried reading this, Katherine. Honestly, I don't feel deserving of these words, but this is exactly why I do this work. To truly make a difference in other's lives, during difficult seasons. You are an exceptional woman, filled with grace and goodness, and it is my honor to have represented you. Your future is so incredibly bright, and I cannot wait to be witness to all of the happiness that you have in front of you! Thank you for your trust and faith in me and my law firm.

I have used Michele for several different projects this last year. She consistently delivers a great combination of compassionate service and an eye for the details of the contracts that we work on together. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who understands the Montana legal environment and can provide good advice that will get you closer to a win/win resolution of your legal challenges.

Michele is an amazing attorney. Not just that, she is professional, timely, dedicated, honest, knowledgeable and forthright. She is one of the few you will find that answers your calls/ emails at all hours. She dedicates herself fully to you and your case. Her compassion for women is strong. She doesn’t just treat you like a client, she turns you into a friend. You will want to hire her - you will NOT Abe disappointed
