Common law divorce

I scheduled a consultation with Kelli Cooper to discuss a common law divorce. I experienced Ms. Cooper to be very prompt, professional, considerate, and very knowledgeable about family law, including the statutes of common law in Kansas. I would highly recommend Ms Cooper as a family law attorney. I... have her listed first to contact in the future to represent me for any family law issues.

Highly recommend

Hired to prepare paperwork in pro se case. She was very attentive to my needs/wishes and was very professional and thorough. She and her team helped navigate me through the process.

Great communication! Always took my calls and answered all the questions that I had. No hidden fees.

Thank you Kelli Cooper!

Kelli Cooper was recommended by my marriage counseling who only heard positive praise via client feedback not unlike what I will say after retaining Kelli as my attorney while going through an ugly and highly contested divorce process with my ex who herself is an attorney. Kelli provided a steady vo...ice of reason and quality counsel at a time when my emotions were all over the place. Her expertise was evident during the court proceedings tactfully tackling fraudulent allegations and thoughtfully providing cross examination of testimony. More impressive were her skills during equalization in order to propose a fair settlement. She more than once had to walk the Judge and opposing counsel through the numbers, pointing out the opposition's failed attempts at "double dipping". Kelli's expertise is invaluable to have during this kind of divorce as we obtained a very favorable judgment (I believe things could have gone much differently without Kelli). I was also pleasantly surprised by the cost of her service - it was evident she could have charged more. I recommend if you need a very good divorce attorney to call Kelli first!

Highly Recommend

Kelli was thorough and prompt in dealing with my divorce. From consultation through decree, I was updated regularly and my questions were answered clearly. Her office made a tough decision a lot less difficult.

"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."
