Exceptional Attorney

I recently retained Attorney Kellen Duncan-Neisler (Kelly) to represent me in my divorce proceedings. Ms. Duncan-Neisler and her team provided exceptional service throughout the process, consistently demonstrating responsiveness and ensuring my complete understanding of each step, thereby mitigating... my stress considerably. Her expertise in Family Law was readily apparent as she expertly managed the complex facets of my case. Despite significant challenges, we achieved a favorable resolution, exceeding my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Duncan-Neisler to anyone requiring skilled legal representation in family law matters. Her professionalism and commitment to her clients are truly exemplary.

Excellent Counsel

Divorce, now that is a proposition that nobody looks forward to, I know I did not. When the other person in the marriage has given up on you and refuses to work on the marriage anymore you kind of run out of options though and as hard and daunting as that seems, divorce is sometimes the only option... left. This was my case after almost 20 years, a paid off home, no debt and four beautiful children. Honestly, as a Christian man divorce was certainly not something I ever wanted or thought I would do in my lifetime. So, I hung in there (probably a little too long) hoping things would or could get better but I was only living in a fog and one day finally realized things were never going to change. Yes, I prayed for her and for God to help our marriage, but the answer was no. Simply put It takes two. Both people in the relationship must be willing to work on it or it just will not work, and she wasn’t interested in fact she had already lined my replacement. I had heard the ads on the radio for years about a divorce lawyer specifically for Dad’s but after paying a 150.00 consultation fee and meeting with one of their attorneys in Orlando I was not really impressed. It just did not feel like they would represent me well after our meeting. I remember leaving there quite unsure and discouraged about moving forward. To be honest, I do not like attorneys in general because of past experiences. I contemplated and really wished I could of just do it all myself but that was just not realistic with the complex nature and lack of wisdom on my part. That is when a friend recommended me to Kelly Duncan’s office in Cocoa Village. I called and was able to get in and speak with her the following day. I explained my situation as there were many complications. The most important part that I conveyed to Kelly that day was my desire to have an ongoing, continuing relationship with my children like I always have. She reassured me about everything and was very knowledgeable. After speaking with Kelly, I knew immediately that she was the right choice. She offered me a payment option or a flat fee for the whole thing which was nice. She totally took charge and guided me through every step. She helped me like I was a close friend from beginning to end. Everyone on her team was also very kind, respectful and supportive towards me throughout the whole process. I am very happy with the outcome and my divorce which is thankfully behind me now. I have referred a good friend to her and he is also very impressed with her knowledge and skill navigating through everything. If you are looking for a great Attorney that will fight for you and your rights as a Father Kelly Duncan will not disappoint you. She really knows her stuff; she cares a lot and does not like to lose. Remember I mentioned earlier how I did not really like attorneys that much? Well, that has changed a little, because of Kelly, she was not just my attorney, and I was not just another client she genuinely cared for me, and my family and I am happy to now call her, friend.

Great Lawyer

She is a great lawyer. She took great care of my parents affairs. Never took advantage. She is a very professional and caring attorney. She even took time out of her busy schedule to attend their funeral. She ensured I had a good and fair estate attorney to handle my parent's affairs. I would hig...hly recommend her without a second thought.

Awesome Attorney

Kelly was absolutely amazing with my case. She was so detailed and gave me great advice that helped us win my case. Her knowledge of family law was amazing and I will refer her to anyone I can. Her and her office staff great, you can truly tell they all care deeply for their clients. As for the bad r...eview that’s in here. He contract clearly states the money that’s due up front is not refundable. Even if your mind is changed to not go forward. A lot of time and work goes in to the first two weeks for her that you may not know or see. They all do a lot behind the scenes we don’t necessary see and I know they did that with my case and it all paid off.

Poor professionalism

will be leaving bad reviews for this attorney. She does not explain that her retainer is non-refundable. After i paid her she went on vacation with her family, stay there 1 month or 2 i don't remember that well but she was "out of the states for a good time" when she come from that vacation she didn...'t get in touch with me until to let me know she didn't came back, n then she got "sick" for another 1 up to 3 month and after that she went to another vacation n didn't call me back again after she came back. So i call n she was on court left a message to call me n she never did until i text her today do i need my 3k back because i need it to help a family member for blood transfusion n her answer was that 3k is not refundable i hope your family member get better i explain her what's going on almost beg her but she remark again that money is not refundable. N told me does is been long time about those 3k. Ok is been 6 month but not because my lack of communication or traveling. I don't know what to do but i feel she got me as a fool n super sad because my family member really need my help n because she don't wanna return me that cash my family member will suffer. Ppl read this review n the others review. I will put 1 start because us the only waybi can post this other wise will be 0 starts
