Bryon K. Kelley

Bryon Kelley was a terrible lawyer for a simple child support/custody case my husband and I hired him for. Every time his office had to send paperwork to the court, it was riddled with errors. Their negligence in notifying the other party of the court dates caused delay after delay. They paid no a...ttention to detail. Even after being his client for over a year, he still managed to misspell my husband's (very simple) name in emails. He fear mongered us into settling with my husband's ex over custody related to their son, telling us if it went before a judge, it would cost thousands of more in legal fees and we'd risk the judge actually giving us less time with his son than what we already had. He never advocated for us against her lawyer or with the court, only wanted to ensure the case was settled as quickly and for as little work as possible. He does not look out for the best interest of his clients or their children. I would not recommend him for child custody cases.

I have worked with Bryon on my custody case. He explained everything thing in detail to me and made me feel much better about the whole situation. If I needed to talk to Bryon, he was always quick to return phone calls, email etc. Going through something so hard as custody, my emotions were all over... the place. All it took was for me to talk to Bryon and I was back on track. He always made me feel better after I talked to him. I highly recommend Bryon and his practice to anyone in need of a great, friendly, sincere, knowledgeable, attorney.

When it was clear I needed a divorce I sought interviews with as many attorneys as I could. I had a number of important criteria and expectations. Bryon Kelley immediately struck me as they guy I needed to work with. And not because his office is a penthouse in Southfield, but because I could instant...ly tell he was a normal, down-to-earth guy that wanted to know me, understand my issues, and help me navigate the difficult and painful process. He kept me informed of every nuance along the way, offered advice that made sense, explained some of the ugly issues and advised me of a stance I should consider (even if I didn't like it at first) so that, in the end, surprises were mitigated and the healing could begin without a strong, lingering pain. Other lawyers I consulted seemed to see me as a pocket-book. Bryon Kelley treated me like a person that was scared and in need of help from the first to the last day of the process. It's pretty clear that he and his partner are doing their best to provide a counter-example to the numerous lawyer jokes we all hear around the water cooler.
