About Stephanie
Biography
The divorce process is not easy. It is frustrating, and at times you will feel like giving in so that you can just get it over with. Other times, you will be so angry that you will want to take as much as you can from the opposing party.
Stephanie Kelly said it’s her job as a divorce lawyer to keep a level head throughout the process for the sake of her clients.
“My goal is to always be honest with you about when you are being unreasonable, when you are being too generous, and the entire spectrum of scenarios that you may expect,” Ms. Kelly said. “Being informed is being empowered.”
Ms. Kelly found family law appealing after participating in a Guardian ad Litem program that opened her eyes to the need children have for representation in the court system and the profound effect that the court system can have on their lives.
Ms. Kelly is certified by the North Carolina State Bar as a specialist in the area of family law. Ms. Kelly has recently relocated to the United Kindom and now serves as the Regional Managing Attorney for the Cordell & Cordell London branch.
