Amanda Kelley Kazzi

Amanda Kazzi was kind and professional. She was respected in the courtroom. My main issues with this firm and their service are as follows. My case was very complicated, with a lot of moving parts. Most of the times when I needed to call to collect or provide information, or adjust our strategy du...e of the evolving nature of my case, my only option was to talk to the paralegal that was assigned to me, and couldn’t talk directly to Attorney Kazzi any sooner than the following week, which was often much too late in a quickly evolving case. The paralegal that was assigned to me (Nick) was extremely long-winded in all of his explanations, and would often misunderstand my situation, or seem to have trouble keeping up with the changing nature of the case. At several points, he blamed me for not communicating it clearly. Much of my dissatisfaction, however, has more to do with feeling uninformed and unclear about the steps and options that were available to me. Going through a divorce is a whirlwind, especially when there is a battle for custody involved. I’ve never been divorced before, yet this firm handles dozens of divorces every day. I had options and things that could’ve been added to my parenting plan that would have protected me down the road. I was never informed of these options or given these ideas from anyone at the firm. Unfortunately, after my parenting plan was already decided, my ex spouse was able to take advantage of weak language and missing clauses for protection. It was my council‘s job, to present me, someone who’s never been divorced before, with examples of other parenting, plans, and time to hear from experts what would be prudent to be included. This kind of council was not given, and the ways that I have been caught off, guard have been devastating to my custody case.
