A Top-notch Attorney

• For a recent legal problem, I consulted with four attorneys; while they were all good, Ms. Smith stood out by immediately suggesting strategies to use in my case. • She kept me focused on what my case was really about, and kept me from getting side-tracked by emotions. • She is professional witho...ut being condescending; she explained legal terms and procedures simply yet completely. • Ms. Smith is kick*ss without being cutthroat! I am so impressed with her legal expertise I am now consulting with her for another legal need.

Waste of your money!

We hired Kelly with high hopes. That was crushed after 2yrs of gathering information and of course paying Thousands of dollars later we were extremely disappointed not only because we lost in court but because of all that we had to go through. The secretary is very rude and if you read google reviews... you will see this to be a big problem. They didn’t start preparing for our case until 2days before court and it was a big mess. I was led to believe one thing but treated a totally different way. Money up front , and service is on her time. We put all we had into Kelly and all we got in the end, was a simple “ This is my first case I ever saw go this way!!” Then she told us that if we were to try anything else, we would have the same judge so in other words , don’t try. I should have known right from the start when her secretary was so rude not only from day one but she became even worse throughout the two yr process!! She gives a big talk but does NOT do the walk. You will be very disappointed.

A lawyer's duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions, and I take my duty to clients very seriously. Wherefore, I do not feel at liberty to respond to this review in a point-by-point fashion in this forum. However, I can say in the clearest terms possible that I do not believe that this review presents an accurate picture of events or fairly reflects my representation in this case.

Divorce

Kelly was great and made the divorce process as easy and painless as possible. She was very straight forward in what to expect and didn't sugar coat anything. The fee was reasonable and I always got a return call or email same day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce.
