Mrs. Martone has been involved in my case since 2013. Not only does she take her time to understand the issues, but she does what is best for the kids. Sometimes you may not agree, but she does her best to insure that you understand the issues. Even though she has a full plate she still gives you the comfort of knowing she is an advocate for you.
I have been practicing exclusively in the area of matrimonial law since my admission to the bar in 2005 and has significant experience handling all types of family law matters including, divorce, custody, child support, equitable distribution, domestic violence, and issues relating to college expenses/college contribution.  I have significant experience in handling abuse and neglect matters involving the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (f/k/a DYFS) and frequently lecture on this issue to other members of the family law bar. At this firm, I continue representing client in all aspects of Family Law.
I am a 2005 graduate of Seton Hall Law School and received my B.A. from William Paterson University. Upon my graduation from law school, I clerked for the Honorable James A. Farber in Sussex County.  I have devoted the entirety of my career representing client's in family law matters exclusively, including complicated matters and complex custody and abuse and neglect matters (DCP&P f/k/a DYFS). Â
In addition to my experience, I serve as a panelist for the Camden County, Burlington County, and Gloucester County Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel. I also serve as a volunteer attorney for South Jersey Legal Services, wherein I represents individuals in matters concerning domestic violence as well as divorce matters. I am a member of the Family Section of the New Jersey State Bar, Camden and Burlington County Bar Associations.Â
I am also highly involved in my community and am on the Barrington Board of Education.

Kelli Martone
The first time I met with Kelli I knew that I wanted her to be my attorney. She has an outgoing personality and is very upbeat which I needed. At the time I was in the process of filling out divorce papers which was a very emotional and difficult experience. Kelli was very supportive and understanding and told me everything would be ok. Exactly what she told me was going to happen did. She always went and still goes over and above when dealing with her clients. I would highly recommend Kelli Martone to anyone that is looking for an outstanding attorney. She is not only my attorney, she is also a friend.

Excellent Attorney
I retained Ms. Martone for a DYFS case. She was very understanding and reassuring, and really helped me to remain calm during a difficult time. She was very respectful and non-judgmental and helped me to understand what to expect. She also gave me very good advice. Ms. Martone is very knowledgeable about the system and I felt confident in her ability to reach a positive outcome. Ultimately the case was closed because it was unsubstantiated, and she was very prompt in returning the remainder of my retainer. I don't think I could have found a better attorney to handle my case.

Highly recommended
The best way to sum up my feelings for Kelli are that I came to her as a client and left a friend. From our first meeting she was clear about the process, she was knowledgable in my case and the law, she connects to you through her caring and genuine personality and she carries herself through her work with integrity and care. She always kept me informed throughout my case. I would highly recommend Kelli to anyone.

The best
Kelli did what two previous lawyers before her did not. She had my ex and her lawyer on the ropes. She's goes on the offense and never wavers. Fearless and very very smart. A 5 star lawyer

Amazing Representation
Kelli was my lawyer during my divorce, which was one of the most difficult times I have ever gone through in my entire life. Kelli was patient, taking as much time as I needed to explain all my options in a way that I could easily grasp during this highly stressful event. Kelli made time for me during her weekends and evenings to answer all of my questions no matter how small to reassure me that she would be there to help me through this. Kelli's knowledge, professionalism and legal expertise truly shined as she negotiated the terms of my divorce and represented me in court.
My children and I are extremely thankful and grateful to have had Kelli represent me, which led to outcomes that were much better than I had thought possible. I would fully recommend Kelli to anyone needing legal advice and/or services.

Excellent attorney
Kelli Martone is one of a kind; she is intelligent, articulate, extremely approachable, kind, caring, and very invested in her cases. I hired Kelli for what turned out to be a very difficult, drawn out case. She has gone above and beyond on many occasions and always kept me informed day or night. She really listens to her clients and acts in their best interest. I highly recommend her if you ever find yourself needing an attorney.

Knowledgeable, agressive and professional
I would not recommend anyone else but Kelli Martone for family law matters. She provided me with the support and guidance I was looking for throughout my divorce. She explained the process, kept me informed and completely put me at ease. If you want someone who will be a true advocate for you this is who you want on your side.

Compassionate and Aggressive

The Best of the Best
Kelli Martone had worked diligently to help change the course of a complicated family law case for me. Before having her on my side, I was fearful every time I stepped inside the court room. Kelli has infused me with a feeling of confidence, thanks to her confidence and knowledge of the family court system. I would highly recommend her.

She left me standing alone
I hired her because I knew a relative of hers that is a great advocate. I came to find out that she took my money was over an hour late for the first hearing and sent a stand in kid with a pony tail for the 2nd hearing. I guess $1800 was small potatoes for her. She held herself out as a divorce attorney and told me she knew nothing about realestate.
