Kerrie Christine Kessing

I retained this attorney to help modify my child support payments per my divorce decree. I had a substantial change in my employment resulting in a drastic change of income. The law states that these payments are able to be adjusted due to this change. The first step to this process is having my for...mer spouse served by the sheriffs office. This attorney claimed to have filed the appropriate papers with the court to have the sheriff serve my former spouse. My former spouse was never served and this attorney claimed not to understand why it was taking so long. To expedite this process I asked her to hire a private individual, who would also need to be approved by the court, to serve my ex-wife. The attorney claimed to have filed the appropriate paperwork to get this person approved so my ex-wife could be served. Again, the attorney couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to get the service process accomplished. After going through this for about a year I decided to call the court to see if any paperwork was filed on my behalf per my case. The clerk at the court said no. All this time I was being lied to that paperwork was being processed and approved to get this service taken care of. When I confronted the attorney with this information she me a bogus letter containing bogus lies on why she could not represent me any longer. She also committed a conflict of interest while representing me. She also sent me a bogus invoice claiming I owed her an additional $6800. I brought this information to my current attorney who also concluded that the invoice was not even legal. I highly suggest anybody needing legal representation choose a different lawyer.

My partner and I hired Kerrie for what we thought was a simple child support case. However, it quickly escalated to a child custody case, a TPO case and even a back child support case. The court system assigned a Guardian Ad Litem and a mediator, which is evidently standard in situations such as mi...ne. I had no idea how complex family law issues could become and how everything could spiral out of control so quickly. We are tremendously grateful we had Kerrie there by our side to guide us through our cases. She took a chaotic situation and fixed it in a way that looked effortless. However we are quite aware how much work it truly took to get all the problems resolved. Kerrie came to our home, took the time to explain everything that was going to happen and all possible outcomes. I am a worrier but even Kerrie managed to put my mind at ease. She makes herself available at all hours and on weekends too. Kerrie is an attorney who truly cares about her clients and I am recommending her to all of my family and friends who need a lawyer!!!
