Glad she was on MY side

Going through a custody dispute can be an incredibly difficult experience. Nancy made the process better than I could have expected. After being highly reccommended by a leading attorney in another field, Nancy immediately made me feel less fearful of the process that was ahead. She, and her team, wa...s there for me every step of the way and ensured outcomes that were in the best interest of my child and me. She was always prepared and her experience was a vital asset to my case. It was clear that she genuinely cared about me and my child. She listened. She always gave thoughtful advice and explained possible scenarios. I always felt confident that she was on top of everthing that was going on. Not only did she provided caring counsel but she was as imppressive in court as she was in private meetings. Calling her office was always a pleasant experience. Everyone on her team was as caring she was. She always responded quickly to being contacted, and I certainly had to contact her often with all of the wacky things my ex was doing. I would reccommend Nancy to anyone because of her fierce advocacy for my case and I'm very glad she was on my side and not an attorney for the other side!

Wonderful to work with

After being completely blindsided with custody papers over my daughter and having only 3 days to retain legal counsel, I met with Nancy Kellman and immediately felt at ease. She listened to my entire situation and reassured me that I wasn't going to lose custody. She went through the entire process s...tep by step, from what questions would be asked of me, paperwork/documents that were needed from me, to which side of the court room we would be seated and what seat was mine. Her or her staff were always available when needed. She is incredibly knowledgable and everything she said would happen, did. She answered every one of my questions and I had lists upon lists of them. When some outrageous demands were made during our custody case, she didn't take any crap and fought for what was right and what was fair. She made a very difficult and stressful situation as smooth and easy as possible. She gave wonderful suggestions that I would never think of and in the end I was very satisfied with the outcome of my cases. It was very clear that Nancy was looking out for the wellbeing of my daughter and to make things better for her in the long run. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs family law representation. She is amazing.

Wisdom and guidance made all the difference.

Nancy and team guided me effectively through unfamiliar territory. Nancy's approach was refreshing after interviewing two other aggressive divorce attorneys who had styles unlike my own. Nancy and I created an immediate working relationship and I had confidence I had a partner in my corner. She would... stick to facts, provide me options/choices and work with me in patient and respectful ways to find a timely resolution for my family. I felt she acted in my best interest. She is a confident, credible, polished professional with extensive experience and knowledge in matrimonial law and a skilled negotiator. She and the team worked many hours on my matter. She is smart, honest, fair and direct in communications. There were no surprises during my time working with Nancy and her team. Nancy was masterful and articulate in the courtroom and focused on every word and detail in my agreement to protect the long term interest of my children. I am grateful to have worked with her and would recommend her to others.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Ms Kellman. I worked with her & her staff as opposing counsel on a contested divorce. She & her staff were not only very competent, but also very accommodating - despite respective clients who were "at war" with each other. Persons with Divorce & Family Law cases in Westchester & vicinity will be well-served by hiring her."
