Excellent advocate for what is fair

Kelley was my second attorney in Maryland during my divorce after I had to fire my first attorney. My first experience with a family law attorney did not go well; I was very guarded after having to fire my first attorney and my expectations were not high. Kelley completely turned around this view for... me. She was competent, professional, hard working, and advocated for my rights. My divorce was heading in the wrong direction and she brought this back in line for me. The court decides what is fair, but Kelley was able to craft my separation agreement into something that I felt favorable about. I definitely believe I am flourishing today, and part of that was with her help. Highly recommend her.

Outstanding

Facing a divorce can be daunting, scary and stressful – it certainly was for me – and finding the right lawyer is absolutely crucial when you need to work out a solution that works when you find yourself in a place in life where you hardly can think straight for yourself. I consider myself very l...ucky to have found Kelley after a lengthy search. Trusting her to represent me in my divorce proved to be one of the best decisions I made. I would describe Kelley as a no-nonsense, straight to the point, extremely knowledgeable and professional divorce lawyer. At the same time she is a strong negotiator who finds creative solutions to hammer out agreements that work. On top of everything she has very good people skills so no matter how much I stressed she was there for me and helped me to stay in perspective – and most important not to lose my sanity! Best of all she is extremely affordable. That combined with taking care of all my worries ensured I could sleep at night knowing that I was in the best hands possible. I can’t be more grateful to have had such a wonderful professional in my corner.

Simply outstanding

No matter where you are in your search for a lawyer, add Kelley to the list of lawyers you must speak with before choosing one. She has my highest possible recommendation. From day one, she represented the very best that could be hoped for in a family lawyer. She was the fifth lawyer I spoke to, and ...the only one to actually listen. She was the only one to make recommendations that were focused on what I was hoping to achieve, not simply on defense. Where other lawyers were certain I would lose, her modern sensibilities quickly overcame any concerns as a single father, and her case experience and familiarity with the Anne Arundel courts allowed her to navigate the case in a way that gave me the best opportunity for success. In two court appearances, she was proactive, tenacious, and her preparation, professionalism, and deep understanding of the law won the day. She billed fairly, was a patient and engaged guide through every step, and was honest and up front about all aspects. She never lost sight of the fact I was a person, not just a client. She was considerate, responsive to time-sensitive questions and issues, and made sure I was not being taken advantage of. I consider myself fortunate to have had her represent me, and the other positive feedback that lead me to her consistently tells the same story. She is quite simply a superlative lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer

Kelley Spigel is an excellent lawyer. she is very intelligent and handles herself in a professional manner. she did not treat me just as a client like most lawyers. she is more like a friend. she seemed very concerned about the issues in my case. She thoroughly explained all of my legal options. I hi...red Kelly for a custody manner. Pertaining to the custody case I hired her for, Kelley was able to get me everything I was asking for even though we were up against tough council. Kelley was able to identify every mistake the opposing counsel made and was able to strike there bs accusations from the record. she is an excellent lawyer and will fight for your rights. Kelly is also not expensive compared to many custody attorneys. Most lawyers nickel and dime you to death and charge you for every second they have to see you. Kelley does not. she is extremely fair and trustworthy on her fees. I would recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic legal counsel.

Kelley is a wonderful advocate

Kelley was attentive and responsive to my concerns throughout my case. She is knowledgeable and researched questions thoroughly. Opposing council was largely very difficult to deal with. Kelley remained firm yet professional and respectful in her dealings with them. We settled our case prior to t...rial, so I have not seen her in court. I am confident that her tenacity would make her an excellent attorney to have presenting a case to a judge.
