Michele really helped me get through some very tough times during my recovery period and during my dental malpractice case. She is filled with so much knowledge that I felt very confident in her ability and her desire to win my case. She really cared about me and what I had been through and she was as determined to help me, as she would be if I were her own daughter.  Everyone in her office was always very nice and on many occasions, went out of their way to be helpful. I could always rely on hearing a friendly voice when I called anyone in her office for any reason. I really appreciate all the hard work Michele put into my case and I plan to stay in touch with her and her staff for the rest of my life because they really made me feel like a part of their family.

She was relentless in her pursuit to resolve my case. She not only made me feel the most comfortable, she seemed to be the most qualified, and she actually seemed to care. She and her team went above and beyond to meet my needs. I interviewed multiple lawyers before deciding on Michele and most lawyers said my case was too small and they did not want to take it because the payout to them would not justify their time. My case lasted 2-3 years and I am positive I could not have found a more caring or competent advocate working for me. She laid out the process before we began, explaining the costs and potential resolutions - both good and bad. As a victim dealing with an injury, it was easy to let emotion get the better of me, so part of her job was to adjust my unrealistic expectations for a suitable punishment to the defendant and an award to me, but all the while she was fighting relentlessly to try to meet my expectations. Michele is honest, straightforward, smart, caring and one of the best advocates anyone could ever want. She never waivered in the 3 years our case was ongoing. She is one of the most talented advocates in her profession, and although I hope I don't have to use her again, if I do, she is my first choice.

I cannot express enough my gratitude for your thoughtful and diligent pursuit of [my case]. Back in 2001, I interviewed four lawyers before getting to you, but as soon as we met, and you agreed, I knew I had found my attorney, and you certainly did not dissappoint. What seemed like a simple case sure turned very detailed and complex with all the various dentists, depositions, and experts. You did an amazing job of directing, controlling, and managing this case and more importantly me!

You handled all the many facets of my case with incredible organization and detail (usually knowing more than me), but more importantly with a lot of caring and concern. For that, I thank you. You are an extremely strong advocate, that I would always want on my side and would recommend to anyone.

Many thanks to Michele Bartoli Cain for impeccably managing and delivering my case.  She was extremely thorough from beginning to end.  It was a pleasure working with Michele and her staff and I never felt out of the loop.  I highly recommend Michele and her firm.

Interns

Thank you so much for the internship this summer. Not only did you share so much of your career, but so much of yourself. I admire the work you do and the care you show for humanity. Your work is truly heroic! Thanks for showing me how being a lawyer can potentially mean being a better person. I cannot imagine another internship being as revealing about real life as the one you offered to me. Thanks for your time, patience, and care!

I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to intern for Michele during the summer of 2008. Michele took a personal interest in teaching and mentoring me, giving me a wide variety of tasks that taught me different aspects of an attorney’s work. She took the time to explain not only what she was doing, but why it was important. The short summer I spent working for her taught me more than years in a classroom could have, because I was able to both observe her work and directly assist her with cases. During my time at Bartoli Cain Law I did not feel like a lowly intern, I felt as though I was an integral member of the team. Michele is an excellent role model, and holds herself to the highest standard of integrity. Through her I was able to see first hand how an ethical attorney conducts herself. The lessons I learned from Michele are invaluable to me as I begin my career as a law student, and then an attorney. I feel confident knowing that I am able to come to her for any questions or advice I may need.
