About Michelle
Michelle Broughton-Fountain is the principal attorney at the Law Office of Michelle Broughton-Fountain. She leads an independent practice that serves individual and business clients. Her name is associated with a solo or small-office model centered on direct client contact and hands-on case handling.
Her training and early professional experiences provided the foundation for private practice. Over time she moved into an independent setting where she manages both the legal work and the practical demands of running a law office. That combination of legal and administrative responsibility shapes how the office operates day to day.
Throughout her career she has taken on the range of tasks typical of lawyers who run their own firms. Those tasks include counseling clients, preparing and reviewing documents, negotiating on behalf of clients, and managing litigation or transactional workflows when such matters arise. She handles client intake and case strategy while directing support staff and external professionals as needed.
Clients who visit her office can expect a small-firm environment. The structure of that practice allows for frequent direct contact between attorney and client. It also requires attention to detail in case preparation and timetables. In this setting, the attorney’s decisions about when to litigate, settle or pursue alternative dispute resolution are made with client input and practical considerations in mind.
Michelle Broughton-Fountain’s work reflects the realities of independent practice: balancing legal advocacy with business considerations, maintaining client communication, and adhering to professional and ethical obligations. Her role involves both substantive legal work and the behind-the-scenes management that keeps a law office functioning.
As of 2026 she continues to practice law through the Law Office of Michelle Broughton-Fountain, serving clients from that office.
