We do personal injury differently.

We’re not a volume-driven firm that treats clients like case numbers. We are a boutique law practice committed to delivering results with care, clarity, and respect. From the moment you contact us, you’ll experience legal support that’s personal, responsive, and powerful.

NLG Law Group was built to provide injury victims with more than just legal representation — we deliver an elevated client experience. Michelle is a proud Houston native and Texas-educated attorney who has always been passionate about advocacy and access to justice. With every case, she brings sharp legal skill, compassionate guidance, and a no-nonsense approach to dealing with insurance companies.

A proud Houston native, Michelle graduated with honors from The University of Texas at Austin, where she earned her undergraduate degree before continuing on to the UT School of Law. She draws on her academic excellence, cultural fluency, and natural leadership to bring a thoughtful, client-centered approach to personal injury law.

As a first-generation Nigerian-American and the oldest of five, Michelle understands the importance of responsibility, empathy, and resilience — values that shape her work and the way she serves her clients. She has dedicated herself to building a law firm rooted in communication, clarity, and compassion.

Michelle handles a range of personal injury matters, including auto collisions, trucking accidents, premises liability, and wrongful death claims. Her firm offers direct access to counsel, personalized service, and a no-fee-unless-we-win promise.

Outside of the office, Michelle enjoys traveling, embracing diverse cultures, and spending time with her husband and son.
