Limited Scope Divorce

Kelli and her Paralegal Heather were incredibly helpful and made the whole process as smooth as it could be. I needed help navigating my divorce and all of the paperwork that was required. Everything was thorough and very organized which I greatly appreciated. I definitely recommend Kelli’s services....

Strongly Recommend!

Kelli was extremely helpful in explaining the different variables that were part of my divorce. She was willing to meet as often as necessary and assist with revisions even in her limited scope representation. She took the time to answer my questions and help me weigh the various options. Her assista...nt, Heather, was very responsive and a tremendous help as well! Thanks Kelli and Heather for making what is a difficult process as painless as possible. Much appreciated!

Light at the End of the Tunnel

When I first thought I might need to make a change to improve my life, I found Kelli Cooper highly rated in a Google search for lawyers in the area. I reached out to Kelli to learn more about what I could expect in the divorce process. In our initial consultation, Kelli gave me a good overview of t...he details like spousal support, property division, and custody. Several months later, I made the decision to move forward and hire Kelli to help me file for divorce. The divorce was extremely contentious throughout and dragged on for a year and a half due to things beyond our control, but Kelli worked hard to protect me and my interests throughout the entire process by working with opposing counsel, my son’s guardian ad litem, and filing motions with the court to try to move things forward. I’m sure that you don’t always get what you want in a divorce settlement, but Kelli helped put the financial and parenting plan decisions I had to make into perspective to help me make the best decisions and compromises for myself and my son. I’m so pleased with what we were able to accomplish through the process, and I can honestly say that my quality of life and my son’s quality of life have improved dramatically since finalizing the divorce. I honestly can’t thank Kelli enough for helping me through this process. I would recommend Kelli Cooper to anyone else looking for a great divorce lawyer.

Nothing she said happened

I hired Kelli for a divorce and spent more then twice the amount of the deposit of $3,000 she said if things go well that should be enough. We never even went to court and I have to pay over double in spousal support then she told me I would wait for weeks to hear from her even a month then I wou...ld contact her to ask her to get things moving along. When I told her at the end nothing she told me that would happen did she blamed me. We went to arbitration and I was not told I would be paying her and the arbitrator over $200 so about $450 to try to settle things for 4-6 hours. Do the math. She also told me they would take an average of my income instead they took my best year. I was separated for over 3.5 years and did not get credit for money I had given my ex and had to pay her $36,000 more so Kelli Cooper did not help me at all.

"In my practice, often there is some overlap between divorce and tax and probate issues. In this regard, I have worked with Kelli in assisting her family law clients with the tax ramifications of property settlement agreements. I trust Kelli and respect her legal acumen and do not hesitate to provide her name to people seeking family law counsel."

"Kelli is a fighter who is dedicated to doing all that she can for her clients. I have had the opportunity to refer multiple clients her way. Each client has come away impressed by her ability to protect their interests through a divorce proceeding. Don't let Kelli's courteous bed-side manner fool you...she's a fighter and will do so if/when the situation calls for it. Simply put, I can't recommend Kelli any more highly."

"I have worked with Kelli before on cases. She has taken the family law aspect of the case, and I have taken the criminal law portion. She's fantastic to work with. She fights vigorously, is very knowledgeable, is respected by opposing counsel, and respected by the judges. She also is the best attorney around for animal law. I don't know of any other attorney who specializes in that very nuanced and specific area of the law. I endorse this attorney."
