As a representation of the Latina woman, Michelle was part of the Mega TV family in a unique and original show, “Agenda del Inmigrante” together with the journalist Salvador Morales during the summer of 2010, where they informed and entertained the audience with the latest legal information on immigration, and with the latest real-life cases that gave hope and a reason for immigrants to continue their journey.

She raised the name of the Latino community in the morning program of Telemundo, “Un Nuevo Dia” that is broadcasted internationally and in the United States.

In her desire to help those most in need, Michelle offers her legal services ‘pro-bono’, that is, free of charge, for those people who cannot afford their services and meet extreme humanitarian factors.
