Litigation/custody matters

Where do I start? With less than ideal circumstances during this pandemic, Fawn has been able to be there by my side literally every step of the way. Whether it be the pre trial negotiations with opposing counsel or the daily hiccups with my sons mother, she provided me with knowledge, guidance, hone...sty, and an uncanny ability to maneuver during these weird times we are in. She was there for every video conference and represented me exactly how anyone would want to be represented. I cant say enough about how she makes her clients a top priority and never did I ever feel otherwise during the entire process. I highly recommend to anybody who thinks they could benefit from results to at least get a consultation from Fawn and trust in her to have your back.

Fawn Kehler Representation

I hired Fawn Kehler as my attorney in November 2016. Ms. Kehler represented me at a preliminary hiring and due to her attention to detail and in depth knowledge about my case and about the laws she was able present facts that resulted in the charge being dropped. Ms. Kehler also represented me at a s...econd court hearing and again due to her knowledge about my case, her attention to detail and her knowledge about the law she was able to present facts that resulted in the charge being dropped. Fawn was very professional with her interactions with me as her client and was also very professional at the preliminary hearing and the court hearing. Fawn exhibited confidence when speaking to the persecution teams and during cross examination. I would definitely use Fawn Kehler to represent me should I ever need an attorney in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs legal council.

Absolutely perfect!

Ms. Kehler was fantastic through the entire ARD process! From start to end she was thorough and inspired confidence in a time where it was much needed! Through her, things went as smoothly as expeditiously as possible.

Emergency custody

Fawn Smith was outstanding in helping my brother-in-law win full custody of his daughter. Not only is she knowledgable about the law, but she has a fantastic courtroom presence. I would recommend her highly to anyone needing a family law attorney. Intelligent, skilled and compassionate- thank you,... Fawn!

Posted by Mike | September 23, 2014 | Child Custody

Custody.

Fawn was able to help me understand the entire process. She was more than willing to hear me out and give her professional opinion on what would be in my best interest. She accommodated me in every way possible and gave me the confidence I needed to pursue custody of my child. Our attorney/client rel...ationship was more than I could have asked for. To say she went above and beyond for me would be an understatement. Her knowledge of the system and the factors involved really gave us an advantage in my journey of trying to get 50-50 custody of my son.
