Michelle Woedy joined Richmond Vona in 2026 as a Law Clerk while pursuing her law degree at the University at Buffalo School of Law. She is currently on the E-board as treasurer for both the Student Bar Association and Phi Alpha Delta. Michelle brings a genuine commitment to helping vulnerable people seek justice.
Originally from Rochester, New York, Michelle graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2024 with a degree in Pre-law and Psychology before immediately beginning law school that August. Her path to law was shaped by years of direct work with vulnerable individuals, with positions in an assisted living facility, a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, and roles at the Neighborhood Legal Services Disability Unit and Legal Aid Criminal Defense Unit. Those experiences taught her that meaningful legal work is about communication, connection, and making a personal difference in clients’ lives.
At Richmond Vona, Michelle applies that same commitment to supporting clients through personal injury cases. She understands that people facing injuries need more than legal representation. They need someone who listens and genuinely cares about the outcome.
In her free time, Michelle loves reality television and traveling to discover new cities. She brings that same curiosity and openness to her work at Richmond Vona.
