Not enough experience to handle complicated divorce cases

We hired Victoria Kelly to handle a complicated and contentious case. Although she has a friendly disposition, her apparent lack of knowledge and experience in handling the case became evident with subsequent court hearings. Important evidence and clues were missed during hearings. At one point, she ...sounded like an advocate for my ex-husband, instead of working for me. Ms Kelly also contradicted herself with the legal advice. She didn't take a firm stance on very important legal issues. I worked with a few other lawyers from the same firm as Ms Kelly, and got the sense that they had too many cases, and hence couldn't devote much time. If you are in a child custody battle or a contentious case that requires an actively involved and caring attorney, I suggest you look for an attorney that can make time for the case and has relevant experience. The staff members seemed friendly. It was easy to get appointments readily with the firm.

Residential custody and child support

I was already divorced, but my ex and I had been in mediation (not through Victoria Kelly) regarding a residential custody and child support change. It wasn't particularly contentious, but it was dragging on... there were typos and quality issues in the drafting, and I felt the mediator was just gou...ging us for money. I consulted Mrs. Kelly, and agreed with my ex to fire the mediator. Mrs. Kelly worked with my ex's lawyer to quickly revise and file all the correct paperwork, and provided prudent advice on protocol and how to communicate with my ex to resolve the situation quickly. She was also easy to work with on payments. I would use her again if I had a future issue.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
