During law school, Michelle was an associate editor of the Hofstra Law Review and Dean’s Scholar. She was a child and family advocacy fellow and participated in the Child Advocacy Clinic.  While initially drawn to family law and the idea of helping families survive a crisis while maintaining functional relationships, Michelle realized that there was a need for such work in the areas of trusts and estates and elder law as well.  Michelle is passionate about helping families plan for the future and work through loss or a major life transition.  Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, two young children and large extended family most of whom also live on Long Island.
