Lloyd T. Kelso

Please take reviews seriously. If anyone or company has bad reviews, there is a reason. I had a very bad experience with Lloyd Kelso. I was going through a divorce and was very poor. Lloyd played on like he would help, seemed compassionate but the longer things went on, I realized he only loves money.... My mission was to have health insurance, it was VERY important as I have an illness that will eventually take my life. Not only did I walk away with $4700 in debt for his fees (we never stepped foot in a courtroom) no insurance. Everything that was negotiated was done by me. He even advised me to take a lower amount. He allowed it to be put in my divorce papers that I cannot seek alienation of affection from the woman my ex cheated with. Funny how the truth comes out after papers are signed. Please do yourself a favor and walk away. I was on the verge of firing him before we went to mediation. By this time I was already $3700 in debt. That was the worst mistake I made, not firing him.

I'd met Lloyd Kelso in Gastonia decades ago through music. I have now and have had up most respect for Mr Kelso personally and professionally. I live in Burke County NC. I have had ongoing adversity before and since my divorce in 2014 while experiencing life threatening health issues including Hear...t, Fearful of law enforcement and Severe depression to mention a few. Been hospitalized several times in Orangeburg SC Hospital and hospitals in NC due to continuous threats, fraudulent claims against me causing worsening health issues including losing 77 lbs in matter of months, home invasion while being held in jail by false charges while Burke County Deputies along with my ex and son (on drugs) broke into my home on April 13, 2015. Never underestimate a woman's scorn after nearly 4 decades of marriage. Maybe too much information however I was so sick during this horrible time in my life I now want all to know I'm honest and starting to have better physical and mental health. Absolutely no one would take my case I believe due to high profile law enforcement involved. Also, I put my ex through 4 yrs of nursing school. Afterwards she won award for excellent Nurse patient care including caring for and rubbing elbows with highly influential people in Burke County/surrounding Counties. People like myself, Doctor, family and true friends knew a different RN, another side of the Nurse some thought they knew. Prior to divorce she refused a drug test and promptly moved to Pegram Tennessee with man supposed to be life long friend however briefly coming back to Burke County to break into my home well planned. I have confidence that Lloyd Kelso will shed some light on the long hard battle for justice I deserve so that I might be able to save remainder of land that goes back centuries with my mom's family. My prayers are being answered, God is Blessing me and I look forward to closure from the darkness and into a loving relationship with my first love from 1973, my fiance Barbara. God has blessed me with one of the top 100 family law attorneys in NC. Answering my prayers. Blessed and Grateful, John

This was absolutely the most obnoxious, rude attorney I have ever dealt with. He refused to listen at the consultation, and just kept saying "I know what's going on". Then was angry that I would not pay him $300 for the consult, after he told me it would be $150. He literally threw papers at me acros...s his desk, because I wouldn't hire him on the spot. His only question to me was "How much money do you have to pay me right now?" He asked over and over again. Why would I hire an attorney that is NOT on my side and won't listen?

absolutely brilliant "about sums this lawyer up".. I I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out and how Lloyd Kelso took care of me, and my children ".. This man knows the law"... I'm so thankful to God for having this man fight for me ".. He he certainly can read between the lines".....

At the time I hired Mr. Kelso, I had been working to bring resolution to my child custody and equitable distribution case for almost two years. Two prior attorneys worked on my case. I regarded neither of them as trustworthy or responsive. Mr. Kelso was a breath of fresh air. He listened to my st...ory without judgment, and he empathized with me as a father who was trying to ensure that his right to have a quality relationship with his daughter was protected. Mr. Kelso was always responsive to my phone calls and he or his paralegal Debra was prompt in communicating changes in the disposition of my case. Mr. Kelso work diligently to provide me with the best results while minimizing legal expenses including travel as my case was in the Lincoln County court systems some 3 hours away from where I work and live. In the end, Mr. Kelso, using his extensive knowledge of family law and adept negotiating skills, was able to obtain a reasonable resolution to my case outside the court system. I am pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Kelso’s family law services.
