Honest Lawyer

I am not the one using Kelly's service my son is 3 years after his divorce in a custody case. We went to see her 3 years ago and she told us he did not need her services. Gave us an outline for a parenting plan and said if things did not go well to get a hold of her. Three years later we need her ser...vice and she is helping every step of the way (and not charging much). She has been a blessing so far. I will check back after everything is settled but to date this is the person

All around excellent attorney

I hired Attorney Vecchio within the past several months to represent me in a highly litigious matter involving my former spouse. Her office, unlike others, offers a free initial consultation to discuss details of your case, and I found our meeting to be extremely helpful and informational in prepari...ng for what lay ahead. After having spoken with several attorneys in the area, I knew she was the person to hire after our initial meeting. Throughout my case, Attorney Vecchio was quick to respond to my questions and I was always informed of the proceedings in my case. She has an excellent courtroom presence and she commands attention to her straightforward analysis of the case. As difficult of a process it was, I was very pleased with the guidance, communication, and representation provided by Attorney Vecchio. She is a must hire for anyone going through a divorce or other family-related matter. Highly, highly recommended.

Be careful with online reviews!

I am not one to take to the internet and write reviews, but I feel like I have to say something after reading the ridiculous, poor reviews about her. I have had Kelly as an attorney for many, many years and I have been extremely happy with the work she has done for me. She is aggressive in Court, a...s needed, and she truly cares about her clients and their families. Cases involving our children or ex-partners can be very difficult to deal with, and Kelly guides you through the process, step by step. She listens to you and understands the circumstances. She will provide a plan of action for you, and give you all of the options available. I will never use another attorney and I strongly encourage anyone viewing this site to be careful with online reviews, especially the "anonymous" posts. The best referrals you will get are from Kelly's actual clients!

An Attorney Who Cares, Your not Just another Case!

Kelly is an excellent attorney, very knowledgeable, a good listener and an attorney who will go to bat for you if she knows you are telling the truth and are honest with her, was my guardian ad litem for my kids, and helped me get my kids back even though my now ex-wife put me thru hell, I believe in... what goes around comes around, so Thanks to Kelly and her sister I can move forward, Thank You so Much Kelly, I will never forget what you have done for me and my kids!

Attorney Kelly Vecchio has been the BEST ATTORNEY FOR MY FAMILY CASE!!!

I hired Attorney Vecchio in 2003 and she has remained my attorney of record ever since. Over the last 10 years Kelly has been a positive bonus in my case. When the going got tough Kelly DID NOT GIVE UP! She is honest, trustworthy as well as ruthless when she needs to be. Kelly’s best advice to me... was to “Leave your legal problems with me. You concentrate on your kids and attending school”. When this advice was offered I was in college obtaining my Associates degree. My daughter’s dad was serving me with new papers almost on a weekly basis. Believe me it was very difficult not to stress over the issues in my family case. I did follow Kelly’s advice and left everything in her very knowledgeable and capable hands. I have always been pleased with the court results. There were several different times throughout the years when Kelly was on a temporary leave. She always made sure that she had a very knowledgeable attorney in her place. In my experience they were always friendly, courteous and happy to help. Excellent attorneys are very hard to come by. When you find a good one like Kelly Vecchio they are often busy. It does take time and a lot of effort as well as patience to get the end results in your favor. Thank you, Kelly, for your outstanding and continued representation on my case.
