“I was arrested in Italy due to an absurd fraud complaint against me brought in Paraguay, a South American country where I had managed an investment made by a Brazilian company. This complaint generated an international order of arrest with the allegation I had not appeared in a first hearing after a complaint. I was arrested in Milan where I was on a business trip and Paraguay requested my extradition, just due to an allegation that I had not appeared at a hearing. The truth is that the complaint was completely false and I had never been even informed about the hearing. Anyhow, I've got to know Ms. Estlund through a press article published about Interpol's mistakes and injustices. By phone we spoke for the first time when I was still under house arrest in Milan. I had a good first impression and hired her. We worked together and it was a nice experience. And after 8 months, Interpol judged our case and decided to remove my name from the Red Notice list. It was one of the happiest days and I thank Michelle for that. She has extensive experience indeed and is also very open to listen to her client's story and points of view, capture that, and convert into the appropriate language to be argued in the process. I also realized that Michelle involves herself deeply in the situation and suffers and celebrates together with her client. I am very grateful for her work and still own her a personal visit and celebration (since I had never had the opportunity to meet her in person after my release due to the Coronavirus situation).”

"In 2016, the Venezuelan authorities used their access to Interpol´s databases to make me the subject of an Interpol Red Notice. It is well known "that the Venezuelan authorities have abused their access to Interpol´s databases, often utilizing the system to persecute people who are opposed to the Chavez/Maduro regime. Michelle came highly recommended. I contacted Michelle in early 2017 to ask for advice on dealing with my Interpol problem. She interviewed me about my case and felt that she could help me. She was professional, concise, and showed great empathy towards my situation. Michelle is a subject matter expert in dealing with Interpol and knows the rules and constitution intimately. She presented a very strong case to Interpol and in only 4 months, the Red Notice was removed and my name cleared of Interpol´s databases. Thank you Michelle!"

"I feel that it was a great choice to have hired Ms. Estlund's legal services for my Interpol Red Notice case, both for the cordiality of our conversations and for the excellence of the result obtained. I had the best and fastest responses and very pleasant personal conversations with Ms. Estlund and her staff. I am fully satisfied with her representation."

"I'm an attorney who handles immigration matters, and Michelle Estlund is the only criminal defense attorney I trust in defending my clients when they have criminal issues. I have referred several clients to Michelle Estlund and she is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and works hard to get the best possible result for her clients. She is also very adept at handling individuals that have issues with Interpol, which is rare to find. I highly recommend Michelle Estlund."

"My wife and I were thankful for Ms. Estlund's advocacy on our behalf to have my Interpol Red notice dropped. In the midst of my stressful immigration case, Michelle patiently answered our questions with confidence and clarity. She also collaborated with our immigration attorney which was super helpful given her expertise. We're glad to endorse Ms. Estlund to anyone looking to be represented by an honest, savvy, and professional Interpol attorney. Thank you, Michelle, for all your work."

"Michelle is everything one would want in a lawyer. She is incisive, smart, tenacious and works tirelessly . Our case was [a] Red Corner Notice from Mozambique which was based on a false police complaint. This is easier said but difficult to entangle. Michelle got us a 5-0 decision from the CCF with her work. She gave back our life and peace. The best decision was to go to her."

"I would like to forward this review for Michelle Ann Estlund, for whom I retained twice. I originally retained Ms. Estlund for a member of my family in regards to a criminal defense case . She was professional, concise, and on point. She provided us with a very favorable outcome which included pretrial diversion and record sealing. We were very pleased at that point. As fate would have it , a year later I found myself in the same place, only worse. I was charged with two major felonies, and deeply entrenched in the legal justice system. I retained Michelle once again. let me say it again, her professionalism and knowledge of the justice system are paramount. She was always there for me whether by cell phone or meeting me at the office on a Saturday, always keeping me up to date with current situations. In the courtroom her experience was obvious, whether a motion or sounding, always on top of her game, providing the best direction possible. In the end, all the charges were dismissed, resulting in a Nolle Pros, which was the best possible outcome for both of us. Michelle went the extra mile as well seeing us through a return of property motion. A little stressful, but once again she prevailed. I cannot say enough how grateful to her I am."

"I contacted Michelle in 2011 to ask for advice on dealing with an Interpol problem. At the time I had received a negative response to my appeal with Interpol. I asked Michelle for a second opinion and was skeptical that anything could be done. She read my case and felt that she could help me. I worked with Michelle for over 12 months in preparing my second appeal. Michelle was at all times professional and showed great empathy towards my situation. Michelle is a subject matter expert in dealing with Interpol and knows the rules and constitution intimately. If you want advice in dealing with Interpol there is no better person you could choose. Michelle worked over and above the call of duty in my case and was available 24/7 and took calls from me on many occasions outside office hours. Michelle is a straight talker and tells you how it is and does not promise anything she cannot deliver. I rate Michelle at the highest level for her legal abilities and belief in justice. Having dealt with over 50 lawyers in my career I can say that she is the best. Her fees are fair and reasonable and she is genuinely interested and believes in any case that she takes on. In 2012 we received a successful result. I doubt anyone else could have done a better job. Thank you Michelle."

"My personal experience with Michelle Estlund, was excellent!! Not only all my charges were dropped but she also provided me with all the information I needed , she supported me throughout the process and was always responsive. I have only positive words to describe my experience. I will highly recommend her to anyone willing to hire an attorney. She is very experienced and knowledgeable."

"Michelle Estlund was very informative right from the start of our conversation . If not for her knowladge and any information or update I needed I would have stayed as positive and assured of just finish as I was."

"I was arrested and jailed on a battery (DV) charge against another male family member living at our home (I was defending my wife from him - can you believe the cops only arrested me after knowing this?). Once I was bailed out, I did a thorough search of attorneys - calling them, looking them up online, reading over client reviews - and after 2 weeks of researching, I was finally recommended to Mrs. Estlund. When I look over what has happened to me over the past year, I am truly thankful to have met her. Throughout the entire process I have found Mrs. Estlund to meet and exceed all of my expectations. Mrs. Estlund has always been timely with her management of my case, easy to reach (via a call or email), detailed with her explanations of what is going on, and compassionate about my situation and how incorrectly (at best) it was handled by police. From our initial meeting, Mrs. Estlund has shown me that she is truly interested in helping her clients. I have met other attorneys (for me and for family members) and I can tell you this, nothing makes a client feel better about themselves and their situation than an attorney who gives them their undivided attention. Mrs. Estlund listens to you, jots down all pertinent information, asks you a variety questions, and tries to understand what occurred. She does this with kindness and empathy. Another aspect of great counsel? Keeping the client informed on a periodic and as needed basis. In dealing with the prosecutor, Mrs. Estlund kept me informed through all the steps. She was always accessible (especially via email) and took the time to answer all of my questions. Mrs. Estlund's demeanor makes the client feel like they can reach out to her anytime, and that is something I find valuable in a counselor. At the end of this process, Mrs. Estlund was successful in convincing the State to drop the charge. I am currently working with her to process my expungement and in dealing with other matters that need attention due to this situation. Mrs. Estlund's counsel has been nothing but top-notch, and her office is always receptive and willing to help out. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who is professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking, Michelle Estlund is a great choice. I found a fantastic attorney. She has found a client for life."

"I've known Ms. Estlund since 2010 and she has always been hard working, responsive, ethical and reliable. She is a fierce litigator that ensures she will get the best possible results on behalf of her clients. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone that has been accused of a crime."

"As a criminal defense lawyer it was a privilege to work with Michelle Estlund on a case. She was passionate and driven and worked dilligently to get an outstanding result for our clients. I highly recommend Michelle Estlund!"
