Divorce Proceedings

Kelly was recommended to me by a friend when I was needing representation for my divorce. Through the whole process, Kelly kept me informed of what was going on and my options along the way. The divorce process is not easy, but Kelly definitely made it easier. I would highly recommend Kelly if you ne...ed an attorney.

Excellent!

Kelli was very helpful from day 1! I was stressed out trying to figure out the whole process of custody and so thankful I found and used her as my attorney! She went over everything and made me feel at ease right away from her explanation of what steps we were going to take to putting it all into mo...tion. She kept me level headed with expectations but also pushed for what was best for the situation. She was very patient and talked through everything step by step. She showed up on time and prepared to each meeting and to court as well as prepping me so I was prepared for each situation that could occur. Her paralegal Heather was excellent as well! She responded to my emails or calls in a timely manner and relayed any extra information that I needed to Kelli. I highly recommend Kelli to anyone! Thank you for making such a stressful time in my life go smoother than I ever expected and handling everything flawlessly!

Professional and Has Your Best Interests In Mind - Thankful

Going through a divorce was very emotional and I was not always thinking rationally. Kelli knew this and looked out for my best interests. She is a professional, extemely intelligent, and a straight talker. Listen to her and she'll take care of you! You won't regret hiring Kelli! Thank you Kelli an...d Heather!

Listens to her clients

I really appreciated the way Kelli listened to what I wanted. She also gave me perspective and helped me stay on target without overriding what I wanted.

Extremely Satisfied

I hired Mrs. Cooper to handle my divorce case. She and her staff (heather) were very knowledgeable, precise, and helpful throughout the case. Communication was very good and timely. I feel her value exceeds her "price" and would highly recommend her and her staff. Thank you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

  • 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.
