About Michelle L.
Michelle L. Haskin earned her J.D. from Albany Law School in 1994 after completing a B.A. at Syracuse University in 1991. She came of age academically during the early 1990s, a period that shaped her approach to litigation and client service. Her law school credential sits alongside more than three decades of practical work in New York.
She has been a shareholder at McNamee Lochner P.C. since 1996. That long tenure reflects steady advancement inside a single firm rather than frequent moves. Colleagues describe a lawyer who knows the local courts and how they operate. She handles courtroom work, negotiation and the many discrete tasks that keep family law matters moving.
Haskin is admitted to practice in New York. Over the years she has handled a range of domestic and matrimonial cases. Her caseload has included contested hearings, settlement negotiations and post-judgment matters. She is experienced in the procedural rhythms of matrimonial litigation and in the practical demands that clients face when family relationships break down.
Her professional life extends beyond her files. She serves as co-chair of the Matrimonial Committee of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, a role that places her in frequent contact with other family law practitioners across the state. She maintains memberships in the Capital District Women’s Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association. She is also a member of the Domestic Violence Legal Connection, which connects lawyers who handle cases involving safety and protection orders.
Public service and voluntary work have a steady presence in her résumé. Haskin sits on the Board of Governors of the New York State Lawyer-Client Fee Dispute Resolution Board. She is involved with The Legal Project, Inc., holding memberships on both its Honorary Board and its Steering Committee. Those roles reflect an interest in pro bono and community-oriented legal work and in supporting organizations that provide direct services to individuals in need of legal help.
Her peers see a lawyer who blends courtroom experience with organizational involvement. She balances trial work, settlement strategy and committee responsibilities. She remains based at McNamee Lochner P.C., where her practice includes matrimonial and family law matters, including cases that involve domestic violence issues.
