My divorce was particulary challenging and made more complex by an ex spouse determined to drag out the proceedings and determined to inflict as much damage as possible to my family and finances. Throughout the process Kiley rose to each challenge and managed my case with an extremely high degree of professionalism and competence often in the face of unusual and desparate tactics. Kiley's empathy and compassion toward my family convinced me that she cared about more than simply the legal aspects of my situation. I would highly recommend Kiley to anyone unfortunate enough to be going through a divorce.
Ms. (Whitty) Bonk is a confident, easy to speak with and work with attorney. She is very professional in the courtroom and in the office at all times. Her response in any inquiry is prompt and thorough. I was reassured and satisfied with the knowledge and advice offered on the legal challenges I faced. Her no-nonsense approach is very comforting. I knew exactly where I stood with the issues we were working on at all times. Ms. (Whitty) Bonk will be highly recommended by me to anyone who asks for a referral for legal representation. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Blindsided me
She made me believe she actually cared about my situation. After explaining my horrible situation Kiley assured me over and over she would work with me every step of the way. Fast forward Less than 3 months later, before the courts had even come to a determination, Kiley decided to change firms. Which meant withdrawal as my attorney unless I pay her an additional retainer at her new firm... Only wanted money and has now made my financial situation worse. That’s a solid NO!
