About Michelle

I left a big firm because call-backs there were measured in weeks, not hours. On Lawbyte I take a small caseload of document projects and answer my own messages — that's the whole point. You'll know the fee before I start, and you'll hear from me before the day is out.

Flat fees

These are the whole price. No retainer, no hourly billing.

Uncontested divorce packet
Typically 5 business days
$925
Will + healthcare directive bundle
