Great Lawyer during a tumultuous divorce

Attorney Therrien and I have been together the past 3 years during the most difficult time in my life. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side. Kelly's attention to detail is second to none. She is an extremely hard worker and really respected amongst her peers. She is excellent in the court room been... through 2 fully contested restraining order hearings with her by my side. I will recommend her to anyone I know going through the divorce process.

Cannot say enough good things!

Kelly is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable attorney. She is very direct; you may not always like what she has to say, but she will look for a realistic and fair resolution that is best for your children and you. I have watched Kelly interact with the court personnel and other attorneys, and sh...e is clearly well-respected by all. I have referred several friends to her, and all have been happy with her work. Kelly does not needlessly run up a bill, and she is worth every cent. In addition, Kelly is very inclusive. She also will explain things to you so you understand the process and make an informed decision on what's best for your family. Navigating the family court is extremely overwhelming; I am grateful that Kelly was on my side! If there were an opportunity to leave ten stars, I would!

Crook

Atty Therrien is a crook. She didn’t properly explain her billing services. Billed me hundreds of dollars. Made my case a nastier than it needed to be so she can collect more $. Worked past our retainer agreement then billed me thousands that I didn’t agree to her working past the exhausted agreement.... Then she left me high and dry in the middle of the divorce. Now Come to find out she was let go by her firm. Don’t hire unless you want to pay ridiculous $ for her reading emails.

The allegations set forth in this review are false. All of my billing practices are set out in a retainer agreement that each of my clients reads and signs. It explains the procedures clearly and concisely for billing by the hour, which is a reasonable and usual practice for family law attorneys. It is a lawyers ethical responsibility to keep working for a client until either the court allows the lawyer to withdraw from the case or the client replaces the lawyer. Lastly, I stopped working at my last firm to start my own firm. I was not let go.

Excellent divorce/custody attorney

Attorney Therrien was extremely helpful in helping me handle an unusual custody situation. She was very efficient with her time and provided great advice throughout the process. I could also tell that the other attorneys involved in the process respected her.
