Too many temporary order rewrites, can’t make up her mind.

One sided, meaning, when she decides and connects to one parent for whatever reason, she ignores the evidence of the other parent, which impacts the children, hence it is NOT in their best interest. She should listen to all evidence from both parents, review, evaluate and then make a determination a...nd fair recommendation. Instead she tells you she does not want to know reasons for the divorce, she wants to establish what is best for the kids, while ignoring real evidence like violence, adultery, coersive control, etc. and backing the violent parent. But will the kids be safe with that parent? She does not dig deeper to find the truth. Also she rewrote the temporary custody agreement at least 4 or 5 times and all were unclear and one sided, while charging you for all these rewrites. Nothing ever got resolved, just more confusing, time dragged on and charges piled up. There must be a better way to determine what’s best for the children. This went on for about a year without any progress.

Kelly Therrien is a great choice for a divorce attorney

I worked with Kelly and her team through my recent divorce. Kelly was a recommendation from a family lawyer and she willingly took my case knowing that court would be outside of her travel area. From the very start her team was very responsive, responding to any questions I had quickly, and explained... the process to me every step of the way. Anyone who has gone through divorce knows it is very emotional and difficult for all involved. Kelly was very empathetic and respectful, but also factual and honest. Her team is amazing and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kelly and team!

Highly Recommend

I am so grateful for Attorney Therrien and her whole firm. Her support and expertise during a very challenging family court matter made all the difference. She came highly recommended from other attorneys in the area who did not feel they had the right experience to handle such a complex case. I’m so... glad they pointed me towards Attorney Therrien. She is realistic, knowledgeable, tactful, and incredibly fierce. My family put our trust in her and were not disappointed.

Supports Dad no matter what

Kelly charge huge bills. She only support Dad’s. She don’t hesitate to lie in court. Makes every effort to separate Mom and baby. Highly misuse her power to get the result that she want. Holds grudge if you stop her payments and ruins you completely.

There are times that I am called upon to act as a GAL and do not represent either party. During those times, sometimes one party is not happy with the recommendations but at all times I undertake to be reasonable, accurate, honest and do what I believe to be in the best interests of my wards.

Highly Recommend

Attorney Therrien and her team jumped into handling my case with only a few weeks notice to a hearing that was scheduled. They were all extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Attorney Therrien was incredible in the courtroom at the hearing. I didn’t have to say anything she knew exactly w...hat needed to be asked or brought up. She helped me remain calm in the face of extreme stress. I would recommend Attorney Therrien for any family court related legal issues. I can’t thank her and her team enough for all they did to help me successfully through a very difficult time.
