A extremely friendly, professional and Knowledgeable Attorney!

Kelly helped review my case in extensive detail after just my first consultation. On our second time meeting she had a great plan forward! She was very friendly and was able to explain in great detail the law regarding my case. I can not recommend her enough and I plan on contacting her first thing i...f I need legal assistance again!

Capable, Compassionate, and Professional

We were so distraught over an injustice regarding our son and his school system, we didn’t know how to proceed with fighting, nor did we have the strength to do it alone. Kelly offered, first, a compassionate and listening ear, and then wise counsel on how to move forward rectifying the situation wit...h our son. She spoke on our behalf, took care of setting up meetings and coordinated all the details. Our first hearing didn’t go in our favor, but she did not give up, and continued acting on our behalf until we finally had a favorable outcome. Her calming and reassuring nature was invaluable in a time where we felt helpless and alone. We are so thankful we found Kelly and that she was willing to help us. She was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
