Excellent & Knowledgeable

Kelly is a wonderful lawyer. She has enough empathy to understand your situation, as well as, advocate for your needs according to the law. Kelly is fantastic at giving reasonable advice, being realistic in her explanations relative to client's goals, and is responsive to the situation at hand. Ke...lly has handled my custody issues and has exceeded all my expectations. While my situation is slightly more difficult than the typical custody dispute with ornate issues, Kelly has handled it smoothly and aggressively when need be. I would recommend her to any family law issues that anyone has. Having been around and worked with other attorneys, she is one of the very top.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
