Bio
Kathleen Robichaud
Michele is a competent professional who I rely on for advice and information and who I am confident to refer my clients to for advice in relation to intellectual propery and trademarks.
Gordon MacGregor
I have had the opportunity to work with Michele on a number of occasions over the last 6 years. Her insight and legal acumen have served very well; as has her professionalism. Most recently we engaged her assistance with the contest rules of a marketing campaign for a new major client. She made us look good and they’ve gone on to engage her directly. We direct all of our clients that require legal advice and registrations of trademark or copyright—she’s very good at IP and we have absolute confidence that we have made a good recommendation.
