In 2006, she and Richard Hendrick (now retired) combined their practices and became Hendrick & Kellison, LLC. Today, Michele runs Hendrick and Kellison, LLC. and enjoys working with clients with unique tax issues, as well as those who appreciate top quality tax advice with a high level of customer service.
