Posted by Nate | May 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Friendly lawyer who knows her stuff!

I hired Kesha for an expungement (sealing) of an old felony conviction and also to pursue a pardon. She has worked tirelessly to get my conviction sealed, even going to the extent of driving several hours in her car to talk to the prosecutor, hand deliver documents, and get some things straightened o...ut with the court. Along the way, she has been very friendly and very easy to contact via text or phone call whenever I needed to speak with her. I am sure she will do just as good of a job with the pardon as she has done representing me with the expungement (sealing). I would not hesitate to recommend Kesha to any of my family or friends in the future if they were having any legal issue. Thank you so much for your tireless work and professional results, Kesha! I will always appreciate everything you have done for me!

Best attorney I’ve ever encountered! She was peace during my storm

I sought Kesha out as my lawyer after my divorce was poorly mishandled in the initial stages by another attorney. After having to do most of the groundwork myself Kesha intervened and took the reigns. Dealing with her was very easy and professional. She was prompt with responses and filing of documen...ts. I was so relieved to have Kesha at my side during my time of distress. Her service made a big impact in my life and I’d choose her again in a heart beat.

Excellent and Professional

Kesha Chiappinelli will fight for what is right and is quick to respond. She will go the distance for her clients. Highly recommend.

Helpful and responsive

I reached out to Kesha Marie several months ago when I had a run in with a physician. I scheduled my annual check up with my physician that I had for nearly 4 years, when I arrived at my appointment the nurse practitioner I saw prior to the doctor told me that I “had” to have a papsmear - even though... I had one the year prior and specifically told her I did NOT want one. She then told me that they would not be able to fill my birth control UNLESS I let them give me a papsmear. After a very unfortunate and demeaning visit to this doctors office I reached out to kesha for advice. I knew what this NP told me was unethical and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable and like I had no choice over what they were going to do to my body. After kesha consulted me and told me my gut feeling was right, I informed the doctors office that it is in fact not required by any form of insurance to have a papsmear in order to get a perscription to birth control and that I would no longer be using their office for my annual checkups. I am so glad that I reached out to kesha, she was extremely helpful, called me back very quickly and gave me the confidence to stand up to something I knew wasn’t right. I would highly recommend to anyone.
