Nancy D. Kellman

Nancy was overall a blessing for me and my family! Nancy was knowledgeable compassionate and a great communicator. Nancy helped me unravel a child support situation where I signed a divorce without an attorney or clear child support order. After over a year with no child support for my children, I sp...oke with Nancy. With her guidance I found the courage to take on the challenge. I am extremely grateful for her support and helping me fight for my family. I highly recommend Nancy! Thank you Nancy and Jeanette!

I cannot recommend Nancy highly enough. I walked into her office unnerved by the divorce process, terrified of losing full custody, deeply worried about the asset division and feeling completely helpless. After just a few minutes of talking to her, Nancy not only understood my situation, but starte...d to make me feel better about it. I was constantly impressed with Nancy's skills as an attorney. She immediately grasped the situation, made the process readily understandable, came up with strategies to deal with the thorniest of issues, was prepared to fight whenever necessary and ultimately obtained a far better result than I had thought possible. Nancy is also a gifted drafter and efficient attorney who not only prepared flawless papers, but did so quickly (my spouse's counsel charged considerably more to make changes to papers Nancy drafted than Nancy charged for preparing the papers from scratch and reviewing the other side's edits). As thrilled as I was with Nancy's legal work and the result she obtained, they pale in comparison to the gratitude I feel for the genuine kindness and concern she had for me and my kid.

What Nancy and her team have achieved for me and my children is difficult to put into just a few words. Nancy handled the NY law aspects for the successful return of my children from a foreign country under The Hague convention, where they had been wrongfully held. She coordinated a team of multi-jur...isdictional attorneys in fending off the attempt to play two legal jurisdictions against each other. She navigated through a highly complex and adversarial divorce process with multiple legal challenges at both the Supreme Court and appellate court levels. She dealt with repeated and protracted custody, visitation and child support challenges. Last but not least, Nancy ensured that my children and I enjoy some normality in our lives thanks to a criminal restraining order in our favor. If it hadn't been for Nancy and her team, my children would not have had the opportunities to become the thriving young teenagers that they now are. Nancy takes the time to fully understand your case, from both a legal but also a human point of view. She is straight forward and tells you how things are, even if at times that may not be what you want to hear. She knows the law and the Westchester courts like no other. She disarms the other party's attorneys with facts, well-researched case law and convincing arguments. She is compassionate, caring, and empathetic. Yet she is tough and fights like no other for your cause. She applies a strategic and forward-looking approach to her advocacy, never just settling for a short-term win. She and her team are tremendously resourceful: her papers are always well researched, spot-on and artfully drafted. She cites case law and structures her arguments that earn her credibility and respect in court, all the while ripping through and exposing misleading or outright false statements of the other party. Nancy has advocated on my behalf for almost a decade. My life and that of my children would have been very different had it not been for her advocacy. She is more than just my attorney. She has become a friend. I am conscious that every case is different and has its challenges, but I don't know of any better family attorney in Westchester. Thank you, Nancy & team!

Nancy helped me navigate the most important and roughest waters of my life for over two years. Always putting my children first, and explaining the law every step of the way, she helped me achieve the most optimal outcome possible. She is undoubtedly very knowledgeable about divorce laws and proced...ures in NYS, but also, she's compassionate and tough, and will fight for you when/if necessary. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone going through this difficult process without hesitation.

Ms. Kellman's attention to detail and preparation are bar none. Her dedication to her clients and the legal profession as a whole are unparall...eled.
