(About Michelle)Your lawyer, actually.
Michelle Henderson
Solicitor & Director, Saltwater Legal
Michelle started Saltwater Legal after years of watching good people receive bad service, ignored, left without updates, passed between lawyers who didn't know their matter. She built something different.
Based in Rockingham and in Jurien Bay weekly, Michelle handles every matter personally from the first call to the final signature. There’s no gatekeepers or handoffs, just a lawyer who picks up the phone.
