Horrible

What a nightmare this person is to deal with. Every excuse in the book, most unprofessional person I have ever encountered. Never ever ever ever even consider doing business with her!

Restored Faith

I have multiple issues regarding my high conflict divorce. I felt hopeless until I hired Attorney Heather Kelly. I have spent $28,000.00 on 2 other attorneys and my life regarding the divorce was no different and actually became worse. Attorney Kelly “ gets it.” Aside from a knowledgeable underst...anding of what I’m dealing with , that many attorneys don’t have, she’s the most empathetic and caring attorney that I’ve ever met. Attorney Heather Kelly has restored my faith in our judicial system.

A superb attorney!

Ms. Kelly is a brilliant attorney who provides superb counsel and representation to her clients. Ms. Kelly is a truly compassionate person of the highest ethical standards. I am exceptionally grateful for her assistance and counsel she has provided to my family and I over the years.

AMAZING attorney that actually cares about true justice

I have spent, no wasted thousands of $$ on attys that just suck your finances dry and say the 'process takes time'. Atty Kelly esq. is VERY quick to get things resolved not just for me but in the name of what she is all about..justice. I have not seen my children in 5 years and since meeting her I ha...ve a renewed faith that the day I hold my children again is fast approaching. There are SOOO many facets of "family courts" that are corrupt and she is helping me through the shuffle and turmoil to set things straight for the people most important to me in my life... my children.
