Testimonials

Margo J

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional service provided by Michelle and her team at Shupe Legal in assisting with my mother’s will. As someone who is from out of country and needing to find an estate lawyer in a timely manner, I could not have been happier I chose Shupe Legal.
From our very first consultation, Michelle demonstrated a deep understanding of probate law and a genuine care for my mothers situation. We were only in the USA for a few days and she went above and beyond to help us with our needs. Everyone was wonderful to us. We went in the office as strangers and by the time we left I felt like I was leaving friends.
Thank you again, Michelle and the Shupe Legal team — you’ve made a potentially stressful situation much easier to handle, and I’m forever grateful!

Mary Kate Speed

Shupe Legal is a fantastic resource for anyone looking for estate planning or probate guidance in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Michelle is approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping families protect what their moat valuable assets. It’s clear she truly cares about her clients and their peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Doug Rohan (Rohan Law)

I have known Michelle for years and she truly cares about her clients. It is rare today to find a professional who is competent, but also understands. Too often by the time layers get enough experience to be good, they also harden their hearts over the day to day fighting and aggravations that they have to endure. Michelle and her team remain compassionate and committed to the cause of their clients.
