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.
