Kelly is great. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. As an attorney myself, I have worked with numerous other attorneys and can say that she is very professional and gives attorneys a good name. As a client, I am impressed with the time, attention, and speed at which she has worked on our case. ...
"Kelly has a rare combination of skills in a lawyer, tenacity, precision, intelligence, and heart. This is an ideal skillset for an adoption lawyer, who must negotiate complex legal problems expertly...while being a first-class diplomat to the parties and lawyers alike. I have worked on many cases with Kelly, both as opposing counsel and as co-counsel. She is a true artist in the fields of adoption law, both domestically and internationally. I endorse her work wholeheartedly, without reservation."
