Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Justin Kelsey was an associate at our firm from his admission to the Bar in December 2004 until July 2008 when he left to start his own firm. During that time, I supervised him and watched his professional development with great satisfaction. Integrity, diligence and superior command of the law were the hallmarks of Justin’s service to his clients during his tenure at Stevenson & Lynch, P.C. I witnessed the way his clients uniformly responded to his attentive approach to their cases and take strength and confidence from his unflappable presence in the courtroom. His faithfulness to his clients’ cases was consistently met by their great confidence in his legal judgments. Justin has also become a decided asset to the bench and bar of the Probate & Family Court. His development of the Stevenson-Kelsey Spousal Support Calculator has contributed to his emergence as an authority in domestic relations law. I am proud to call Justin my friend and give him my unreserved recommendation."

"I have met Attorney Kelsey a number of times over the last few months. Prior to that, I have been a fan of his firm's blog on family law and bankruptcy. I am especially interested in law firm management and client relations, and am impressed with the innovative ways that Justin is reaching out to clients through the use of social media and the web. Justin and I shared many of the same thoughts on helping clients through divorce and other family law issues. I can understand how his relaxed demeanor will help put clients at ease when undergoing stressful situations. Justin and I are both divorce lawyers and mediators, but I would refer people to his firm in the future, whether for a family law issue or bankruptcy and feel very comfortable doing so."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Prior to starting Kelsey & Trask, Attorney Kelsey was an attorney at Stevenson & Lynch. I took Attorney Kelsey's full-time spot at Stevenson & Lynch when he and Attorney Trask started their practice, and then worked with him on numerous matters as he transitioned his workload to his new firm. I am uniquely qualified to speak to Attorney Kesley's abilities, given that so many of my own cases were shaped by his earlier involvement. His abilities are, in a word, excellent. Virtually every client I have encountered at Stevenson & Lynch has raved about Justin's professionalism, temperament and clear judgment as an attorney. And in case after case, I observed that Attorney Kelsey's work placed the client's family law and/or bankruptcy case on solid footing, built on a bedrock of fundamentally sound legal work that, in turn, provided the groundwork for positive legal and real world outcomes. I would endorse Attorney Kelsey without hesitation for any client considering Kelsey & Trask."
