I am an experienced appellate attorney, with over 100 appeals as lead counsel. In addition, I am a well-versed civil trial litigator, having worked for several years as staff counsel for a large insurance company defending personal injury claims.
I am board certified in workers’ compensation. For over ten years I concentrated my practice on workers' compensation cases and writing and arguing workers' compensation appeals, with a focus on the special statutes related to first responders, like my late father, a City of Orlando Firefighter.
The focus of my law practice has shifted in recent years, after family tragedy and several trips to study yoga in India changed my perspective on life and work. I left my career as a partner in a large law firm to become a solo practitioner and spend more time writing, teaching, and being home with family.
I am available for consultation in relation to all types of legal drafting, including appeals, wills, contracts, agreements and deeds. I also offer consultations for trial and appellate strategy, and I am available for writing and speaking engagements.

Outstanding
Kelli has been representing me for the past 10 months. I could not be more comfortable than I am with her handling my WC claim. She responds almost instantly to emails, has extensive knowledge in this field and keeps in touch with me constantly. I couldn't ask for a better representative.
"I've known Kelli for many years and her intelligence, attention to detail and character are unparalleled. She is one of the most effective attorneys I've seen argue in front of the court."
