Hi, I am Michelle Humphres - owner of the Law Office of Michelle Rogers Humphres, PLLC. I help families with their wills and estate planning needs, including special needs planning. I enjoy partnering with my clients to develop a personalized plan that addresses the goals, concerns and wishes of each of my clients.

My name is Michelle Humphres. I was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and attended high school, college and law school in Alabama but the majority of my life has been spent in North Carolina. I lived on the coast of North Carolina in Morehead City during my grade school and middle school years and in the beautiful Research Triangle area since returning to North Carolina in 1995.   My husband Chris and I met at the University of Alabama as undergraduates and married two years later as graduate students. Shortly after graduation, we packed up a 28 foot Penske truck and moved everything we owned, including two cars, to Durham, North Carolina. At the time, we thought we would be making the return trip to Alabama in about five years after Chris received his PhD from Duke. It is now more than 15 years later and we are still in the Triangle with our two Bouviers, Jazmine and Keira.   My desire to help people with wills and estate planning began my very first year of law school. My internship with the Elder Law Clinic of the University of Alabama School of Law gave me the opportunity to give presentations on the importance of wills and estate planning at local senior centers. I also met with clients to discuss their wishes and to prepare estate planning documents that would carry out their wishes. My most treasured memories are of those moments when a client who was originally hesitant to talk about their wishes transitioned into a client who was not only comfortable with expressing their wishes but also looking forward to completing their will.   I opened my law practice with the goal of providing comprehensive, personalized Will and Estate Planning at an affordable cost. I am committed to coming along side my clients in the process of developing their personalized estate plan to ensure their peace of mind concerning their family, finances and health.
