Hello, everyone! My name is Michelle Priester, and I have had the incredible opportunity to intern at Forman & Associates for the past year. Under the guidance of Mr. Forman, I have gained invaluable experience, deepening my understanding of the legal profession through hands-on learning and mentorship.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Indiana University Southeast, and I am currently preparing to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) as I take the next step in my legal career. My time at Forman & Associates has been instrumental in shaping my aspirations, providing me with not only support and resources but also the opportunity to shadow court proceedings and witness the impact of legal advocacy firsthand.
In my time here, I’ve seen Mr. Forman handle DUI cases with such expertise, it’s as if he could do it in his sleep—though rest assured, he’s always wide awake when it comes to delivering justice!
I am truly grateful to Forman & Associates—not only for their dedication to fostering growth in interns like myself but also for their unwavering commitment to serving the community.
