Lawyer Overview

Michelle Benavides’ litigation practice focuses on representation of clients in complex business and commercial litigation. She has worked in a wide range of litigation matters involving commercial and business disputes, collection matters, personal injury death cases and toxic tort cases.

Her fluency allows her to personally conduct internal investigations and interviews with clients’ Spanish-speaking employees without the need for a translator, thereby solidifying the attorney-client and investigative privileges essential in litigation cases.
