Michelle J. Thompson
Born in Illinois, raised in California, grew up in Idaho. I’ve experienced life: the good, the bad, the ugly, and most importantly, the peace. I’ve learned to appreciate the value of people, their situation and struggles, along with the hard lessons we’ve often learned. I enjoy challenges, and I believe for every situation there is always a workable solution.
As a trained paralegal, I have worked with the legal system for over 10 years. I am well versed with its processes and enjoy helping others navigate through the system for their benefit.
