Scam

I'd give 0 stars if possible. Hired to modify custody arrangement. Three months later petition was still not filed. She stopped responding to emails when I said I was hiring someone else. Never sent the invoice I requested. Still hasn't responded. It's been 6 months.

Mothers advocate even when opposing counsel

Kelli was a poor excuse for an attorney. She advocates for the mother in custody cases even when the mother is opposing counsel. She did little to help and provided no advice throughout the entire process even when it was clear that the children were an inconvenience to the mother. She clearly had n...o interest or intent to advocate for the father and didn’t care what was best for the children. No matter what information the father provided or options were put on the table, Kelli always agreed with the mother, no matter how unreasonable. She also responded to emails with flagrant disregard for the children. What a waste of time and money. 0/10 recommend unless of course you’re the mother.

Truly an expert in her field

I was recently represented by Kelli in my divorce proceedings. She helped me tremendously throughout the entire process. Any questions I had were answered very quickly. I would most definitely recommend her.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
