This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

great presentation

Kelli is always punctual and thorough with her work. Every time I ever needed to use Kelli’s services they have always been within my budget. She always strive to have the best outcome on any case she has ever solved for me. I would recommend Kelli to represent to you because she’s flexible, reliabl...e, and always has a positive attitude. I will be using her in the future if I ever come across anymore legal trouble.
