SELECTED ENDORSEMENTS
Show me a lawyer who writes well, and I’ll show you one whose analysis and thinking are first-rate. That adage comes to mind whenever I have the opportunity to read Michele Feeney’s writing. Her works of fiction are stunning – and multiple award-winning, in Arizona Attorney Magazine and elsewhere. Michele draws readers down a path in the direction she wants, exactly the goal of all persuasive authors. I know that skill translates to all modes of advocacy and written expression. If someone sought my recommendation for a talented guide toward superior writing ability – whether in the creative or legal sphere – I would tell them that Michele tops my list of go-to experts. She possesses a rich store of writing abilities – and thrives when she can help others succeed in the same way.

Michele’s writing workshop was well worth the investment. From our first-year associates to our seasoned attorneys, we all gained valuable tools to improve our writing. Michele shared practical techniques and tips which we have been able to use in our everyday law practice – composing emails, organizing briefs, proofreading, and using the most clear, concise, and persuasive language. Throughout the sessions, Michele kept all participants interested and actively engaged. We especially enjoyed the group editing exercises.
Karen Moskowitz, Managing Attorney, Richards & Moskowitz PLC
I highly recommend Michele as a legal writing consultant. She was very effective, great to work with and invested in my improvement. She helped me become a significantly better and more efficient legal writer in less than three months. She was especially adept at identifying the root causes of the impediments to my success as a writer, and suggesting practical solutions to those issues. She was also enthusiastic, patient and flexible with scheduling.

Two types of attorneys will seek Michele Feeney's writing guidance: the adept and inept. Wherever you start, Michele will take you to the next level.
Anyone will can leave a legal writing course scrivining away. Michele will help you persuade courts and counsel so they say, “you write well," not, "you write like a lawyer."
I write better because of Michele.

I recently attended Michele's presentation on how to improve my legal writing and found it very insightful. She reminded me how important it is be well read! One of my favorite quotes was, 'I could have made it shorter, if I had more time.' An excellent planning tip for busy practitioners who may not often leave themselves enough time to edit. Michele's presence was also an engaging, yet calming, moment in my otherwise busy week. I highly recommend it!
Alison R. Christian, J.D., Christian, Kravitz, Dichter, Johnson & Sluga, LLC
I highly recommend Michele’s legal writing services. Michele’s individual coaching sessions have had a significant impact on my writing skills. The plan she created for me was tailored to meet my needs and my goals. Our weekly meetings were full of concrete guidance that I could easily apply to my work and tools that I use on a regular basis. Since completing the sessions, my writing is stronger and more effective. I finally have the confidence I was missing in my writing. Her coaching was invaluable for me!

Michele was an excellent consultant and mentor. She assisted me in building not just my writing skills but also restoring my confidence in my writing. I highly recommend Michele to attorneys of any experience level to strengthen their writing.
Jennifer, Senior Associate, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
I have personally known Michele Feeney for over a decade and a half since we practiced together at a Phoenix law firm. I was a new associate and Michele was the partner in charge of ushering new associates into lawyer life. I could count on regular meetings with her to help me better think through issues and provide comments to improve my legal writing. All of these years later, I now direct attorney recruiting and development for another Phoenix law firm. When we were redesigning our writing program for new associates, we immediately sought Michele’s counsel. Once again, she provided valuable feedback regarding how we could best coach young attorneys to become great writers. Michele kicked off our program with a Nuts and Bolts discussion and provided our associates with practical tools and resources to assist their writing efforts. Her passion for both writing and mentoring come through in her presentation. We look forward to partnering with her again.

As a professional I found this writing class to be beneficial and practical. Michele is a very thoughtful professor who puts a lot of thought into how she presents her material. She provides a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities. In addition, she pushes you to try out new competencies, makes you feel supported, and gives valuable feedback. Michele was also patient with everyone and provided positive reinforcement which encouraged us to speak freely during class. I would recommend her to anyone interested in improving their writing skills.
