Extremely professional and will make sure that your child receives the best possible outcome in a child custody case. Highly recommended. Very good communication with Michelle and Elizabeth as well, through phone and email. Very straight to the point in the courtroom and like I said, makes sure that your child’s best interest is taken care of. Couldn’t be more grateful for this team.

Michelle Blair is an excellent attorney and her staff, Kathy and Elizabeth are amazing. Michelle is an extremely intelligent woman who is extremely fair and trustworthy, who will advocate for her client under the letter of the law. Michelle and her team get back to you right away, explain the process and take the time to listen. Needing an attorney is a situation I wouldn’t wish on anyone but if you need one hire Michelle Blair and her team. I have and will continue to referred her if anyone is in need. They help make the process less painful and you’re in excellent hands.

Michelle, Kathy, and Elizabeth have been my rock for nearly 2 years! Not only have they have been able to win every single legal battle I have faced in that time (so far that has been over 10 counting little motions) but they quick to give me personal support as well. I am so blessed to have them as my team and I would recommend them to anyone facing a custody battle. They will fight for you and your child or children unlike other big firms. Michelle is a beast in the court room and won’t back down! They all have taken the world off my shoulders with each win. So don’t even ask yourself if this should be your firm! Instead, let this team fight for you!

My husband and I hired Michelle Blair for a very difficult child custody case and it was the best decision we could have made. I’ve never seen a more dedicated attorney. She genuinely cared about our issues and our children’s welfare. Michelle always made time for us, and when we were stressed out she remained calm and used her knowledge and experience to resolve our concerns. She even had to combat a very dishonest, blowhard opposing counsel and handled him very confidently and respectfully, which really earned our respect and confidence. There was also a situation where we thought she was doing something wrong for our case and it turned out that she was 100% right! She didn’t give up on us when WE were wrong, and really proved that she had our best interest. I can’t ever repay her for what she has done for my family. If I ever need a family law attorney in the future I wouldn’t hire anyone else! And if anyone is searching for the best family law attorney, Michelle Blair is it!

Michelle picked up my case after I had fired another lawyer. It was a night and day experience with Michelle because she always looked out for my best interest. Needless to say, my divorce was settled and custody issues were all handled with her help. With her by my side, I never stressed because she was always prepared, on time, and responsive. I highly recommend BLAIR Family Law Group to anyone looking to have a top flight lawyer!

Michelle is a very talented and awesome lawyer. She is very professional and has done a lot of good things for me. She was able to get custody changed from my ex wife to me which was a very long and hard battle but she never gave up on me. She is very reliable as well as she is a very good communicator. In good the court room Michelle is very good and she doesn't stop and doesn't quit when striving to make a point to judges and other lawyers. In a state where it is almost impossible for a father to take custody from the mother Michelle was able to get my kids to me and me be the primary caregiver as well as me living out of the state it was even harder for her to accomplish it, but she did. I would recommend her to any fathers who rights have been taken away or are being violated. Michelle thank you for the hard work that you did you have changed the life for my family espicially my son and daughter. They now have a chance at a good life one that does not consist of drama and other issues.

** (If I could give more than 5 stars, I would)
1) Yes, I actually hired and retained this law firm to be my counsel for a family & custody matter
2) best decision I ever made
3) Read below as to why you want Michelle Blair to be on your side, and not have to face them on OC (opposing counsel).

Michelle Blair, Joy E, and the entire group at Blair family law firm is the best legal team any individual could ever ask or hire for. They went above and beyond and covered concerns I would have never even thought about in the first place.

Michelle and Joy always and consistently focused on the best interests of the child (family court case), and what was the right and reasonable thing to do.

I was very fortunate to have retained Michelle and her team. Michelle's firm demeanor, yet friendly and professional approach, along with her experience and persistence were all factors I didn't even realize mattered when I first hired them. Michelle and her team took the initiative and always moved the case forward. Their hard work and effort got the best results. And, hey at the end of the day and after multiple delays and antics by the opposing counsel, Michelle and her team still crushed and defeated them.

Michelle and Joy ensured that we had everything ready and all bases covered; this showed the judge that our party had been reasonable from the start.

Our team went to the table with a settlement and many offers to try to solve any concerns and issues. The ex and his first set of lawyers backed out of a very reasonable offer and settlement. Guess what - Michelle went to court on my behalf.

As a whole, Michelle has a heart of gold - you can see this especially when the first and foremost concern she has, is for the children in a family case. Understanding the well-being of the children involved really is the one best traits to have in a family lawyer.

With that said, Michelle's "pit-bull" mode along with her readiness, communication, straightforward approach intimidates any opposing party. There's a reason why many other family lawyers respect her, or if they have to face her, are pretty damn intimidated of her. Judges respect the firm and this mentality; and again, Michelle does have the best interest of the family at heart.

Michelle, Joy, and the entire firm at Blair Family Law Firm all have the moral compass, trustworthiness, responsiveness, compassionate hearts, patience, fierce readiness, badass approach of a combo you need to ensure you get the best representation in the San Diego and North County area. After almost 10 months of litigation, w/ a custody battle, my ex realized it didn't matter how many lawyers he hired and fired, Michelle and Joy took care of everything and went to bat for me.

For what it's worth, Michelle and the team had the respect of the entire law firm of BOTH sets of opposing counsel.

Each and every time I emailed or called, they made me feel like I was the most important client (in their midst of many). They give each case the time and commitment it needs and wholeheartedly deserves. They are very responsive and prompt with all communications. Always made my ex scared $hitless because we were always one step ahead, and ready for whatever the opposing would ATTEMPT to throw. 🙂

I'll probably always have Michelle Blair on retainer from here on out. She had my back and truly cares about families (both moms, dads, and kiddos), and I know she always will.

I was involved in a short-term marriage and my ex-wife was doing everything in her power to clean me of everything I had in every way you can imagine.

Michelle Blair was there and eager to get the job done when no one else could! I couldn't be more grateful for Michelle and the friendliness of her staff! She is highly recommended!
