Kelly T. Shattuck

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!

I had to utilize Kelly’s services twice in the past few years; Once for a divorce and once for a modification. I had a positive and successful experience with both. Kelly was able to guide me through the process both times and was not only receptive to what my end goals were, but ultimately achieved ...those goals for me in both instances. He is an extremely capable and competent attorney, and while I hope to never need his services again, should a situation arise, I would hire him again without a second thought.

I found myself in a terrible situation. My ex wife was cheating on me and lieing to me not honoring our marriage. I tollerated till it started to affect the kids. I had to man up and divorce her. Hired a friend of a friend's attorney and filed. She left didn't let me see the kids and my first attorne...y made such a mess it wasn't looking good for me to get joint custody. Then out of desperation and firing my first attorney I was calling around to try to find anouther attorney. Kelly was the only one that spoke with me over the phone before receiving payments. He made me feel at ease I thus hired him. After that life changed he straitened out the mess my previous attorney made and before I knew it we were in the driver's seat. He fought hard for my finances and my reputation as a father. The results were clear!!! He won me my boy. Joint 5050 no child support no allimony no paying for her attorney. I can not thank Kelly enough. When my life was in shambles he came in and saved the day and many days after!!! Kelly if you read this it's been a couple of years but I wanted to say thank you. The impact you've had on my life was imeasurable and rarely do I feel thankful for having my son do I not think of you!!! Your a Damn fine attorney and man!!
