About Michelle

Michelle A. Storm is a partner at MCLC. She concentrates her practice in the area of professional liability, representing physicians, health professionals, hospitals, healthcare facilities, pharmacists, and pharmacies. Michelle litigates matters for individuals, local businesses, and national corporations primarily in the professional services, hospitality and retail, manufacturing, and food and beverage.  

Michelle also represents students, faculty, colleges, universities, and employers who are involved in Title IX and sexual assault, harassment, and abuse matters.

Additionally, Michelle is the Town Attorney to several towns in upstate New York, advising on local laws, town resolutions, and counseling Town boards and municipal departments on all legal matters.  

Why Michelle?

Upon her Albany Law School graduation, Michelle received the Isabelle Redman Prize, an award given to the graduating student who demonstrated the qualities personified by Ms. Redman: courage, perseverance, and graciousness in confronting extraordinary challenges. Michelle’s clients find these traits to be advantageous in their legal matters – she is bold, eager and resolute, yet civil and compassionate.  

Michelle spent many years practicing plaintiff’s litigation and having looked at the law from both sides, she is able to offer her clients a unique perspective and powerful representation.  Michelle’s clients find her prepared, committed, and driven to advancing their cases with the best strategy for a successful outcome. 

When not practicing law, Michelle spends her time running, hiking, and with her family. She volunteers her time with non-profit organizations including the Ronald McDonald House and the National MPS Society, in honor and memory of her son, LB.
