Michele began her law practice at a firm in Sioux City, Iowa, that focused on general practice, with Michele’s focus in litigation.  She obtained her bar licenses in Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota, in order to service clients in the tri-state area.  Her skills in litigation included business litigation, criminal law, and family law. 

As she progressed and learned, she created her niche in the area of family law.  Michele joined Brad Kollars and the two began the firm of Kollars & Lewon, P.L.C.. in October of 2006. Since that time, Michele has worked to refine her skill set in the area of family law and has concentrated her focus on only that area of practice, extending the firm’s coverage for services in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Brad passed away in 2018, ending the Kollars & Lewon, P.L.C. firm. Michele practiced on her own from 2018 until joining Klass Law firm in January of 2026. 

Michele spends her spare time running and doing triathlons, having competed in several marathons and finished the Wisconsin Ironman in September 2013.  She enjoys anything outdoors, including hiking, cross-country skiing, and kayaking.  She also loves to travel, and has been all over the world, including Machu Picchu, Myanmar, Vietnam, Tanzania, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, and Spain.  She has hiked in several of these areas and did reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in September of 2009.
