Riordan Law

Riordan Law About Michelle L. Continuing through the legal field, Michelle has held titles in nearly all areas of a law firm.

Riordan, Esq.:

Michelle became involved in the legal field in 2006 while attending Le Moyne College in Syracuse when she began working at a medical malpractice defense firm. From student legal assistant to receptionist to paralegal, Michelle climbed the legal ladder with aspirations of someday becoming an attorney. In 2019, after graduating from SUNY Canton with her Legal Studies degree, she then

decided to pursue her goal of law school, and attended Mitchell Hamline School of Law in a part-time program. Michelle finished the four-year program in 3.5 years, passing the bar in July 2023 and being admitted to the NYS bar in September, 2024. While waiting for her admission to the bar, Michelle worked as a temporary legal analyst with Experian until the department was closed due to a business decision by Experian. In May 2024, Michelle accepted a position with the St. Lawrence County Conflict Defender’s office where she honed practice skills in a multitude of criminal and family court matters. It is with gratitude and pride that Michelle is now opening her own client-centered practice and she looks forward to putting her experience and education to work for you.

I am wishing all of you a Happy New Year.

I have been taking it easy this week due to illness. I was gifted COVID as a late Christmas present. I am resting up so that I can be at 100% for my clients in the New Year. That being said, the office will close early today and we will be closed tomorrow.

Please stay safe and healthy tonight and I will “see you next year!”

We will be closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and December 26 this week. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!

I have been reflecting on that age-old question we will be asked this Thursday, and my answer will be, undoubtedly, that I am thankful for everyone who has supported me in my endeavor of “hanging a shingle” and helped make my dream come true. I look forward to continuing to serve all of my clients and wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

I will be closed on Thursday and I hope that your dinners are plentiful and surrounded by loved ones.
