Posted by anonymous | October 07, 2025 | Child Custody

Uncaring, insensitive, and unprofessional.

I’ve been in the court system for child custody on and off for the better part of the last decade. In that time, I’ve consulted with easily dozens of attorneys. Emily was by far the coldest, least caring, and least prepared of any. She got the names and ages of my children wrong and even my marital s...tatus after I had clearly shared that information. She half listened to less than three minutes if background, asking uninformed questions. She failed to follow up with me during a very tight timeline and when she did, she didn’t have the professionalism to call.

Gifted legal counselor with expansive knowledge in business law!

Attorney Emily Smayda Kelly is a gifted legal counselor with expansive knowledge in business law. Emily is a champion of her clients and works passionately on behalf of them. She efficiently drives to process and delivers a positive outcome. I was recommended to Emily by a longstanding non-profit... organization serving business professionals in the Greater Cleveland area. I'm happy to have chosen to work with Emily. She took the stress out of the situation and helped prepare me for a smooth transition. I received tremendous value for my time and walked away with more knowledge to carry forward into the rest of my professional career!
