do not trust this lawyer

I hired Kelly Vecchio and paid her a retainer. She decided to quit on me almost immediately after hiring her. I complained to the bar association and she kept a part of my 3K retainer. Vecchio's legal assistant is also in addition to Vecchio's high legal fees. She did not inform me of this till after... I hired her. I stay away from this attorney. I did not get my moneys worth. Beware!

great attorney

I cant say anything but good things about Kelly. I hired her for a costudy casw involving my 4 year old son. She was passionate, caring, and made sure her voice was heard. She was planning on going into a war if need be for me. Dont believe all these bad reviews on here. They arent real clients becau...se if they were they would have nothing but great things to say about her. She is outstanding! She always got back to me. Always made sure all my questions were answered even if they were silly. Kelly also kept me informed on everything she was doing. There is no one better you could get in Winnebago County!

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.

A no nonsense Attorney

I was referred to Kelly from a friend of mine. My previous attorney had been doing a good job but I just felt like the process should not be taking as long as it was. I decided to switch attorneys and could not be happier. Kelly was extremely professional and always kept me in the loop with what ...was going on. I received regular communication from Kelly as to my case as well as where I was at with my billing. I wish I would have hired Kelly in the first place.

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!
