PROTECTING FAMILIES AND THEIR FUTURE
Ogborne Law, PLC is a premier boutique law firm focusing on estate planning and family law. Michelle focuses on learning each family’s unique goals, interests, and challenges and develops a customized plan for each family.
Michelle educates her clients on the legal process and their options and helps them create plans to transition kids through conflict, whether it’s planning for death or divorce. Her
goal is to keep families out of court, maintain privacy, and protect kids from difficult situations.
“Many clients are unaware they have options to stay out of court. Even for high conflict cases, there are resources available like Collaborative Divorce or mediation-which minimize the financial and emotional damage to families.”
Michelle tells clients: “Divorce doesn’t have to destroy your family. You’ll always be a family. We’re just restructuring the way it looks.”
Michelle declines litigated cases and instead helps families find solutions out of court. “Unlike most attorneys who take litigated and collaborative cases, I choose to focus only on collaborative divorce and mediation, because it helps kids thrive and ensures both parents play a meaningful role in their lives.”
As a Collaborative Lawyer, Michelle has extensive experience working with families during the divorce and separation process. She understands it’s a difficult time, and her team provides a professional support system to meet their needs. Assistance includes attorneys to represent each spouse; counselors to help manage the emotional impact; and financial advisors to provide fair and tax efficient recommendations for dividing assets and debts. She also serves as a mediator to help families reach customized agreements out of court.
In 2012, Michelle founded her firm with the goal of helping families plan their future and protect their kids. Her background in psychology and child development helps her understand what motivates people, and she uses these skills to help families thrive despite unfortunate circumstances. She also helps families proactively protect their future by preparing premarital agreements and estate plans. Everything she does is with a focus on helping her clients navigate difficult decisions when planning for life’s unexpected events.
As a mother, family time is important, whether it’s traveling, cooking, or simply spending time together. She also loves CrossFit, and people may be surprised to learn she loves scotch, with Macallan Rare Cask being one of her favorites right now.
Michelle is President of the Maricopa County Association of Family Mediators and serves on the board for Best Legal Choices and Collaborative Professionals of Phoenix. She has also been nominated a Super Lawyers Rising Star and has received numerous awards for client satisfaction.
