Would not recomend

Hired her for a simple divorce and was quoted a fee of $1500.00. The divorce took much longer than expected and a complaint to the Florida bar about the progress. Very unprofessional and in the end the fee was almost $4500.00.

Thorough, Honest and Caring

Kelly was hired by me to help with a custody issue. There were very specific issues and the case was not an easy one to battle. ER motions had to be filed and there was a lot of legwork needing to be done. The other side had no willingness to negotiate or even communicate. Kelly was amazing at mainta...ining communication, was always professional, provided clear guidance, was fair in her costs, gave honest opinions as to possible outcomes and very obviously had the respect of the local judges. She is a strong advocate for her client but also keeps the children's best interest in mind when children are involved.

Honest and Straightforward

From the minute I met with Kelly she impressed me. As my divorce dragged on she was very honest and told me what I needed to hear - not what I wanted to hear. I've met with other attorneys but no one was as "real" as Kelly. Thanks for working for me!

Highly proficient, professional, and caring

I was referred to Ms. Kelly Thompson by one of her peers, who was retiring. That, in and of itself, impressed me. And then, I had the privilege to have Ms. Thompson provide legal counsel and representation for me through a divorce. Her approachable, caring, yet no-nonsense style was a huge suppor...t during a devastating time. All of my questions, concerns, emails and calls were addressed and responded to in a very timely manner. I was never made to feel as if I was a bother, an interruption, or that my issues were small or unimportant. Ms. Thompson instills confidence and trust by being capable, consistent, tenacious, and knowledgeable in her legal practice, while offering a genuine, caring guidance to the client. Her interest in me as a person relieved a lot of anxiety. The legal fees were very fair, and I was represented superbly by "Kelly." I highly recommend utilizing her services.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Honest, dependable, zealous advocate, cares about the children - are all great adjectives to describe Ms. Thompson. I have been on the other side of Ms. Thompson and she is no pushover. She fights hard for her client, but she is always reasonable and knows the pros and cons of her case. She does not take extreme positions to run up client's fees. She is always prepared when we go to court, but it is not often because we can usually work something out through negotiations, thereby saving the client money. I can highly recommend this attorney."
