Don't waste your money!!

Kelly is a very nice person but not a good lawyer. She put the least amount of effort possible into my case and of course lost. She filed no motions or paperwork even though I gave her a lot of help with my case, she didn't know how to cross examine and show that the witness was lying and I would not... put a perfectly good witness on the stand even though he missed work to help me. She was unprepared for another of my witnesses testimony and I would have preferred to save my money and couldn't have done any worse as my own attorney. She needs to listen to her clients and not just take money without giving a damn what the outcome of the case is. I've filed a complaint with the BAR to get my money back. Very Poor Job she did for me!!!

Slow response time

I just signed my contact less than 24 hours and already I have not heard back from my emails or left messages and calls. Yesterday, after leaving the office I could not get a hold of the office (two person team) and today the same. Tomorrow is a holiday so I doubt anyone will be working. Also, I expe...ct a lawyer to be truthful, in my case my lawyer expense may not be compensated unless a judgement is won through litigation, not negotiation. I was told by Kelly it could be compensated. Two other lawyers with 20 years experience over her clam this to be false.

Very disapointed with her as councel

I hired her as an attorney for my custody case. She was impressive and seemed like a good fit at our first meeting. However, after that I couldn't get a hold of her. She didn't file things that should have been filed, didn't return my calls, emails went weeks without an answer. Then she over billed m...e for hours. I finally replaced her and in 1 week my new attorney did more for me than she did in 9 months and without the stress. I was very disappointed because I liked her and didn't expect this from her after my initial meeting. It cost me almost $3000 of wasted money and time.
