About Kelly
Biography
My practice concentrates in the division of retirement assets pursuant to a divorce which frequently includes QDROs. I have successfully drafted thousands of QDROs over the past 15 or so years.
I am also a tax/estates and trusts attorney and have been since 1998. I maintain both a New York and Florida office and many of my estate planning clients are NY/FL snowbirds. Most of my clients have very specific legal needs and it is important to meet with an attorney who will listen to them, let them know the various alternatives, and advise them as if they were family.

Kelly is the best!
Kelly was able to clear up and correct a 30 year old pension issue in record time. We are very pleased with her professionalism.

Really knows her area of practice
I was referred to Kelly by my divorce attorney. She had recommended Kelly as an expert in the field (QDRO). My experiences working with Kelly have proven to be accurate. She is knowledgeable, professional and truly offered advice that was based on knowledge of the laws applicable to QDROs.

Efficient and understood my needs
I was frustrated with the whole process of getting divorced and splitting finances. Ms. Zarcone understood my frustration and really helped me get the matter done quickly and efficiently.

QDRO
I turned to Kelly Zarcone after another lawyer worked on my QDRO for over 17 months with very little results. Kelly was able to complete the process in a very professional mannor within weeks. I would highly recommend her for any service.

Outstanding Lawyer
Kelly is personable, intelligent and an outstanding attorney. She did a QDRO, which she did efficiently saving me money. I liked her so much I had her do my wills, POA's and health proxy's. She was great, I highly recommend.

"I enthusiastically endorse Kelly. I am a matrimonial mediation attorney and I have sent dozens of clients to her over the years to draft their QDROs, they have been very happy with her. She is an expert in her field, and also very personable and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that her clients have a full understanding of the process and what they can expect.
