Kelly Kay Roberts's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Ms. Robertst is highly effective and capable on a number of levels. She knows how to effectively interview a potential client, analyze that potential client's case, and recommend a successful strategy for assisting that client. She is also capable of reviewing and ensuring that the client's representations to the court are accurate and complete to ensure a smooth trip through bankruptcy. Lastly, if complications do arise in a bankruptcy, Ms. Roberts is not afraid of litigating with the trustees to defend the debtor, thus ensuring that the client pays only the amount that they are required to pay to the court, and not a penny more."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jim Schwitalla's office is the most knowledgeable in the Southern District of Florida in the area of bankruptcy law, process and procedure. Two things that make Jim's firm stand out out from the rest is his their no-nonsense, practical approach to representing their clients and his incredibly sharp associate, Kelly Roberts. An incredible team."
"Kelly and I have opposed each other in bankruptcy matters, where she zealously represented her client's interests within the boundaries of professionalism. Instead of unnecessarily driving up costs for her clients, she sought cost-effective alternative methods to meet her clients' needs. She is also an active member of the South Florida Bankruptcy Community and keeps apprised of the latest developments in bankruptcy law."
"I endorse this lawyer over any lawyer in her field of practice. Ms. Roberts is a leader in the Miami-Dade bankruptcy legal industry. She is not only apprised of all developments in the bankruptcy legal sphere, she educates other lawyers in such matters. If you are looking for a tenacious, learned, and well respected advocate in the bankruptcy law, look no further. Give Ms. Roberts a call."
"I endorse and recommend Kelly as a bankruptcy attorney. She is very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. She was a good advocate for her client."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is intelligent, witty, extremely organized, a great advocate, and quick on her feet."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kelly was a colleague of mine in law school and continues to be someone who I trust for consumer bankruptcy questions. I have referred people to Kelly with the utmost confidence. She is knowledge, responsive, and professional."
