Highly Recommended

Chelsi is caring, knowledgeable, supportive and diligent. She walked me through every step of the process and did a wonderful job communicating. Her knowledge on family law and her great team, resulted in a quick and favorable resolution. Thank you!!!

Best Attorney EVER!!!

I could not have asked for a better attorney than Chelsi! My situation was super complicated and she kicked major butt! I could not be more pleased with how she handled my case. If you want someone who is going to kick butt, even if the situation is complicated like mine or not....she is the person t...o hire!

The new 'Gold Standard'

My experience with McIlveen Family Law Firm was nothing short of amazing! I mean I really don't like to have to be in a situation where I need legal representation, but McIlveen Family Law Firm made my experience feel like I hired someone who actually cared about me and my position. Chelsi Jolly we...nt above and beyond what I expected to get when I needed the expertise and skills of a real attorney, she is the type of representation that I will compare every attorney to from now on. I wish her the best and hope that she has a happy and blessed life.

Thank you

My boyfriend and I hired Chelsi for his divorce, and child custody case. She did an amazing job and was always very proactive on getting back to us very quickly and answering questions throughout the whole process. While it was a long and devastating journey for us, Chelsi always did her best to help... us get thru it as painless as possible. She worked with us on our payments as we struggled with financial hardship due to all of this and never made us feel like we didn’t matter. We are grateful to have had her as an attorney during this difficult time.
