"The BEST!!!!!!! Hired her for a 40 year dissolution of marriage case after I experienced terrible representation from two different firms. Michele was meticulous and heard my words. She was stellar at trial and uncovered the many lies through my ex’s testimony.
Only negative was when my ex appealed the final judgment, I had to get another attorney to represent me because Michele doesn’t practice with appeals."

"I was involved in a timeshare matter that my attorney couldn't help with since he was not licensed in Florida. After doing a search and a few phone calls, I contacted Michele and was glad I did!. Michele spoke with me in detail about the matter and the information conveyed tracked with my attorney. Since my sister was also a party in the matter she was able to represent us both. Michele was very competent, thorough and provided timely communication. I would definitely use her services in the future should I need legal assistance in Florida!" Marc J 09/06/2022

Just the 'Right' Attorney
"After moving to Fort Myers from Massachusetts, my wife and I knew we needed to update our legal documents. We took our time hoping to find ‘just the right attorney’ to handle these sensitive matters and a close friend recommended Michele Belmont. From our first meeting she was personable and made us feel very comfortable as we discussed our wishes and long-term plans. Michele took the time to listen and explain the reason for having each of several estate planning documents. After our back-and-forth discussions we agreed we needed the protections each would provide. When we returned to sign the completed documents, we expected a brief meeting, just sign and be on our way…that isn’t how Michele handles these important documents. Once again Michele took a good deal of time to review each document in detail explaining when and how each was going to protect us and allow our loved ones to execute our wishes. Her overall knowledge, attention to detail and warm friendly manner made us confident that all our needs were met. We are thrilled and know we have definitely found ‘just the right attorney’."

“She’s fabulous. Ms. Belmont drew up my will and others documents for me. She was clear on cost and arranged everything perfectly. About a year later my dog was attacked by my neighbor’s pit bull. Although I was not injured, animal control suggested I contact an attorney. Michele was so wonderful and took her time to help me. I was very emotional and she was so kind and helpful. The neighbor was obnoxious and she dealt with his anger and lack of responsibility in an extremely professional manner. I highly, very highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, organized and dedicated to help the client. Was a really great experience for me. (She always asked how my dog was doing, she’s a good person.)” Julia 04/19/2022

I consider myself so very fortunate to have Michele Belmont representing me since I moved to Cape Coral. About 5 years ago I read numerous reviews online and decided to make an appointment to discuss having a Living Will, Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. Michele was so very helpful, not only listening to my questions, but explaining all the details in every paragraph that needed to be addressed. It was an easy decision to hire Michele, and she has guided me every step of the way through some difficult matters. Also, I called Michele a couple of years ago to help me with one of the most stressful periods of my life. It was very complicated situation that involved the possibility of losing my home, a bad relationship, a settlement agreement and much much more. One of the best decisions I have ever made was contacting and retaining Michele Belmont to handle all of my affairs. With this bad turn of events in my life Michele took over the reins, was right there with me all of the way and got me through this nightmare. By the way, I spoke to 4 other attorneys about this predicament I was in and in short, they were unprofessional and offered little hope. In my view, I can never say Thank You enough to Michele Belmont for all the assistance she has given me. For anyone considering retaining an attorney it would be foolish not to make an appointment with her.

Very accessible and probate was completed in very short time
Michele was very straight forward in explaining the probate process and the upfront fees. She was always on top of everything and responded ASAP to all our questions. She was able to work with family members in FL and out of state and completed the probate process in a very short time. I first called Michele on a Friday night thinking I would leave a message and she actually answered. I knew then that I found the lawyer I needed to take care of my mother’s estate. Other lawyers didn’t call me back and the ones that did had extra fees tacked on. I would definitely recommend her.

I came to Michele's office to draft a will. She was fast, accurate and economical. Then when my father passed away a few years later, she handled the estate quickly and with compassion. She also handled my sister's divorce and did a great job. Her pricing is fair, her experience is vast, and she always replies quickly to my calls. It is nice to have an attorney that I can trust that can handle various issues as they arise in life.

Michele is a GREAT attorney!!!
I attained her services for an estate settlement after I had found her online. I live in a different county so I had no knowledge of anyone reputable in Lee County. I am very happy that I found Michele.
My case only took a few months to settle. We had great communication, she always kept me updated on what was happening.
There was a lot of back and forth between myself and the other party but Michele handled it with ease. She was always very pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable.
I'm extremely happy with her services and would absolutely recommend her.
Her rates were VERY reasonable.
I couldn't thank her enough for all she had done for me.
To her it was probably an every day affair, it's what she does, but to me it meant a lot to know that she was on my side.

FAMILY LAW
“I interviewed four other divorce attorneys in town before I found Michele, and after spending five minutes in her office, I knew that Michele was the right choice for me. She made me feel comfortable right away. She explained things in terms I could understand, and she gave me a road map of what to expect during the process. My divorce was long, and my ex-husband fought me every step of the way. But I always knew that Michele would fight for me, so I was able to focus on rebuilding my new life, because she was protecting me. Michele was very fair in her billing, always returned my calls promptly, and she fought ferociously for what I wanted. At the end, I was very pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to refer my friends and family to Michele.”

FORECLOSURE DEFENSE
