Kelly T. Shattuck

Multiple issues with this attorney as he has cost me thousands of dollars. A: Should have caught 12K my Ex hid from the court but was in the Discovery. B: Never brought out the fact she already had insurance that met the Federal Minimum requirements set by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) ... C: Relied upon the Heresay of he said/she said to win the pre-marital asset of the house. NEVER provided any evidence to support his stance (even though the my EX provided it and it was never pointed out) Due to this, I am basically paying for my house twice. Spent several thousand extra in insurance costs and have to split up my bank accounts with her even though what she had in the bank was equal to or greater. We also let her get away with Breaking and Entering/Theft. I recommend finding another attorney

When I hired Kelly in early 2018, my life had collapsed. I am an active duty military officer and while I was out of town for a few months in Alabama, out of nowhere my wife at the time filed Domestic and Child Abuse charges against me. I hadn’t seen her or my daughter in over a month, and all of a s...udden there were restraining orders against me and I was under several investigations. She was trying to get my daughter taken from me and destroy my career and life and put me behind bars. As the military investigation concluded, the investigators began to realize that it was all a hoax, and that she was lying about a number of things. The day they cleared me was the day I found out that she was having an affair with one of her students married parents who also was a fugitive from the law. I spoke with lawyers in the military and they recommended that I hire Kelly. Kelly defended me from her bogus allegations and once we discovered the affair, we immediately filed for divorce and custody. My time in Alabama was up, and I had to move to Texas, but she still wouldn’t let me see our daughter as she was keeping her in Nebraska. It took almost 4 months, but with Kelly’s help, we proved that my ex was lying. I got my daughter 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. For the next year, I travelled tens of thousands of miles between Texas and Nebraska to get my daughter and bring her back. It was said that what I was doing as a military parent was impossible. That I could never win this case, do all this travel and get custody. As our trial began I moved to California. At trial, Kelly demolished the opposing counsel's arguments. He surgically attacked my ex and exposed her for the incredibly dangerous person she is to everyone around her, but most importantly our daughter. He also used one of his other landmark case law cases and Nebraska law to debunk her and her attorney’s attacks on the military. Kelly proved at Court that military parents deserve to be treated fairly under the law, and the state of Nebraska listened. 6 months later, the decree was issued. We won. My daughter was coming to California full time. My ex immediately filed multiple challenges. Kelly beat her every time. She filed an Appeal with the state. Kelly beat her and her new high powered attorney. It has been a long and grueling 3 years, but having Kelly in my corner saved me and most importantly, my daughter. Since this happened, my ex has been arrested and continued to engage in dangerous behavior. I can’t imagine where we would be without him and his team. I know a lot of this sounds mushy, but it is all true. My case was a nightmare that unfortunately had many dark and sad turns. Kelly navigated me through the worst time in my life, and he brought my daughter home to me. If you are military, please know that Kelly now has won 2 major cases in support of military members at the state level! He knows what he’s doing and he wants to help us and he’s proven that he can. Don’t give up just because you’re military! Call Kelly and ask him about the cases he’s won for us. You’re not alone, we’ve fought, and Kelly will help you fight!

After retaining a different lawyer who mishandled my case, I retained Kelly and he was able to rectify the situation. I have used him as my attorney for 7 years now for different issues that have arisen in my very ugly and complicated divorce. The process was difficult but Kelly never sugar coated an...ything and ensured I knew the realistic outcomes. We achieved each one in court. Although his rates increased, his ability to handle my case made me confident that is was money well spent.

I hired Kelly Shattuck to handle my divorce and I was requesting to move out of the state of Nebraska with my kids. I had interviewed several other attorneys before deciding upon Kelly because I felt he knew the low and provided a road map of exactly what needed to be done in my case to be successf...ul. He did not sugar coat the process to get my business like a few of the other attorneys did I had interviewed and that impressed me. He always kept me informed of the developments in my case and he did what he said he was going to do. The process was not quick as we went through extensive discovery, but there was a purpose to everything. I was equally impressed with his staff who were genuinely interested in my case and my success. Mr. Shattuck and his staff had me and my witnesses prepared for trial along with all the necessary documents. He was very professional and I can't say enough how impressed I was at trial. I would highly recommend Mr. Shattuck and his firm to anyone going through a divorce or other family law matter.
