Horrible attorney

I hired Kelly to represent me in a child support modification case. After having my case for over a year and attempting mediation, she was completly lost as to the issues at hand. I met with her a week before trial and it was apparent that she had never even looked at my file nor prepared for the tri...al at hand. Should have followed my gut and fired her then. Went to trial and she did not present any evidence, call any witnesses(such as my CPA as I am self employed), didn't require the other party to disclose their witness,and did not provide a court reporter. Now we have no record to Appeal.I am now in a real mess because of her and have had to hire another attorney and try to fight this.Needless to say I am looking at jail time due to an outrageous amount of support that got ordered based on false testimony of the other party and I cannot pay. I completly blame Kelly for this negligence. I truely feel she was bought off by the other counsel to do nothing. Google her name and you will see why this is believable. She has a shady past. I have never received an invoice or statement of her services even after requesting one. Probably because she can't come up with $1,000 worth of work she did even though I paid her $5,500. Do not hire this lady.

Unprofessional!

Kelly Mcgraw gave horrible legal advice. She is very unprofessional, she yells at her clients and uses very bad language. She does not fight for anything. She withheld important information from me during our case(example. She had meetings in her office with the opposite side in the case and didnt te...ll me or invite me I found out through family members) Her website along with her consultations are false advertising. She will spend NO time on your case. She showed up to my final hearing and asked me for documents regarding the case. She is never prepared. Be careful she will tell you certain information then change her mind after she has been paid. She was actually giving legal advice to the opposite side in this case. I got legal advice from other attorneys that did not agree with the bad advice kelly gave me. If your involved in a case where she is representing the other side, consider yourself LUCKY because you will have no worries!
