About Kelli
Biography
I am a mother of 2 lovely girls and have been married to a wonderful husband for 6 years. Law is my second career. Before becoming a lawyer I was a school teacher for children with special needs and had worked with children for special needs for the last 15 years. I have a B.S. in Human Services, Master's in Special Education, and Juris Doctorate. I have devoted a large portion of my life to teaching and helping children and their families. I choose law to be able to assist families in other ways such as custody, divorce, education issues, estate planning, disability issues as well as several other areas of law. I have enjoyed my career change, because I have had the opportunity to advocate and assist many families in trouble times. I look forward to helping you in a situation. I firmly believe because I have a better understanding I can give better service. Please feel free to contact me. My office is located on South Blvd. in Charlotte, NC, but I do travel.

"I endorse Attorney Espaillat. Her hardwork and dedication is an asset to her clients and the legal community."
"Kelli is very intelligent and her experience with school system has allowed her to develop a specific set of skills that distinguishes her from the majority of attorneys in our area. This experience allows her to deal with clients from all walks of life and to particularize her representation to their specific needs."
"Kelli is a great teacher, advocate and attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kelli and I were classmates during law school. I witnessed first hand her dedication, tenacity, fierce determination, and willingness to learn. She was one of the hardest working students in our class. She had two babies while attending law school. Kelli visited my home on many Saturdays during law school for study sessions. Now that she is practicing, she has exemplified that same determination and work ethic. I have spoken with her on many occasions since law school, and, she is always positive about her clients and the work she is engaged in. Kelli is upbeat, outgoing, sincere, likeable, smart, knowledgeable of the law, and fun to be around. I recommend her without any reservation whatsoever to anyone in the Charlotte area!"
