Best in business

Kelly Vasta is reliable, knowledgeable. What makes her standing up from other lawyers? She will go above and beyond to get the best results. She will work with you and with prosecutor to get the best deal possible. And if prosecutor is not willing to work with you, she will find the way to get thin...gs accomplished anyway. She prevented my marriage, 10 years professional career and personal situation from being ruined. From supposly not defendable case ( according to lawyers),she made things happen that let me came out without any serious damage, and let me continue my professional career and future professional progress to be attainable.

Definitely recommend

Kelly is an amazing attorney. She worked diligently on my child custody case and provided invaluable legal advice throughout the process. I was impressed by her knowledge and understanding of custody law, and, with her guidance, my case was resolved to my great satisfaction. Kelly's courtroom pres...ence and negotiation skills are exceptional. Should I need future legal help, it'll be Kelly I call. If you need legal help, I strongly recommend you give her a call.

Awesome Attorney

I have had the privilege of having Kelly has my attorney for a very challenging custody case. She was excellent with all of the challenges. She was there no matter the time or day when I needed her. I could call her and if she was busy as soon as she was done I would get a call or email. I would reco...mmend her to anyone and use her for future situations I need a lawyer for.

Amazing lawyer!

Handled my case perfectly! I can be a bit of a handful and she took the time to listen and led exactly to the outcome I needed and deserved. What a great experience for a not so great situation. Thank you Ms. Vasta!

Super Awesome Attorney

I retained Kelly after a friend referred me. Going to court with Kelly is like going to court with a friend on your side! She’s knowledgeable quick to act and explains everything in a way that’s very easy to understand. She’s down to earth, easy to talk to and she’s a fighter! She is passionate abou...t what she does and caring all at the same time. She took my calls even when she was out sick with the flu. My case involves child support and she was able to resolve the issue and achieve the results I wanted. I can’t imagine going to court without her and will be retaining her again upon my return to court.
