Posted by Heather | July 31, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Very pleased and satisfied! Great lawyer with a professional manner.

Kelly Thames Bennett is the best! Hands down. Awesome lady! She helped my daughter and I get permanent custody and a name change. I didn't get to meet her till our court date and when I did I was very happy. She went the extra mile helping me figure out where to get my legal documents. Walked me thro...ugh all the steps necessary for our case. I will definitely use her again if in case for future cases. Thank you so much Kelly!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Thames. She was opposing counsel on a divorce case in which the parties did not agree regarding custody of two minor children. Kelly was a great advocate for her client while continuing to protect the minor children's best interests and well-being. She is a competent attorney with a professional demeanor. I would not hesitate to refer a client to her."

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.
