Adoption of Child
My husband, Douglas, and I met with Kelly to see about him adopting my son as his own. She took our case and told us of the joys and the repercussions.

Replied last December 11, 2018Adoptions are the happiest times in family law. Your choice to allow my office to help you through it is deeply personal to me. I hope that you will always remember the glorious day and the crowd's applause when the judge granted your request. There is no doubt that your son is the luckiest little boy in the world.

Outstanding
I could not be more happier with the outcome of my case. Ms. Heitkamp helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I would highly recommend her for any person going through a divorce involving children.

Divorce and child custody
After hiring Kelly she did a great job for me. She was very helpful and also incredibly knowledgeable. She was very well prepared for court. Kelly is a very agressive attorney and she is very good at what she does. Kelly was always concerned with what was best for my children.

Replied last January 24, 2018There are few fathers that compare to you. You met with success because you never hesitated to make decisions based upon what was in the children's best interest. It is reflected in the outcome in the case as well as the relationship you share with your children. You will always be one of my all time favorites. Not everyone goes the distance like you. I am grateful for that passion and love that withstood a most horrible situation.

Ive never felt more Impowered or free. Kelly has done more for me than all friends and family. I can’t say enough about how brilliant and dependable she has been including the entire office. I never had to call more than once to get an answer. I never felt like I needed to look anything up.

Replied last January 24, 2018I appreciate your kind words as do Tiffany and CJ. A law firm is only as good as the quality of the client and you made our job enjoyable as we watched you evolve throughout the case. You are welcome here any time.
