Excellent Lawyer at family law

I hired Mr. Kelley to help me through an extensive, and needless to say stressful, custody battle. I have never had a bad day in court thanks to Mr. Kelley and Ms. Gavia. Mr. Kelley is adept at briefing his clients before any proceedings which has helped me immensely. All of the tedious details in th...e paperwork were explained, and the processes have always been handled swiftly. You are in good hands with Mr. Kelley.

The Best!

Mr Kelley and his law firm helped me recently with my divorce. Everyone in his office is a professional and treats you as their own family. I was able to come to them at anytime for questions and they were timely with their answers. I would recommend this law firm to anyone!

Superb Work, Knowledgeable, and a True Professional

Attorney David E. Kelley and his law firm represented me during my 2014-2015 divorce case. He is a very intelligent and compassionate family attorney who did exceptional work, which ended up resulting in a fair court settlement. He was always available on the phone/email and consistently responded ... to my queries promptly. He was always early to our court hearings and made sure that I understood what was going to be presented in court during each individual hearing. Every time I walked out of his office after meeting with him, I felt confident, I felt secure, and I felt trusted. By far one of the top, most effective Family Law Attorney with an incomparable Law Firm in the Dallas/FortWorth Area. I highly recommend David E. Kelley and his Law Firm.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
