The best

I had no idea what to do when a got a restriction order and I wasn’t allowed to see my own son... i spoke with others but nah no one like him, he knows what he is doing, very comfortable with the case... now i have my son and child support is in process...

Won every court date

I went to war with my ex over custody of my child. She kept our 3 month old daughter from me, lied, had me arrested, tried to get protective orders and tried to make it where I got no time with our daughter. We had at least 6 court dates and he won every time. After each court date I got more and mo...re time with my daughter. Protective order was denied, rescheduling motions always got granted. Due to the questions he asked at the protective order hearing my criminal attorney was able to use the statements that she made under oath to prove that she was lying, my criminal charges were then dismissed before trial. In the end I now have 50/50 custody just like I wanted all along. I have my daughter every birthday, holiday etc etc. Will 100% be using him again if it is needed.

Great Divorce Lawyer

I was very nervous about hiring an attorney over the phone. Mr. Kelley put my mind at ease during our consultation. He kept me informed along the way and thoroughly explained everything. If I called or emailed with questions about my case him or Lisa got back to me promptly. I highly recommend him, h...e will handle your case with care!

BEST LAWYER EVER

Mr. Kelley and Lisa walked me through the whole process from the beginning to end. They made the process easy and stress free. They are very thorough on my whole case & always put my best interest first and foremost. Lisa was always available to answer my questions & Mr. Kelley was always on time to ...any & all meetings. Hiring Mr. Kelley for my legal matters was the best decision I could of made. Thank you Mr. Kelley and Lisa for your hard work and dedication on my case.

Excellent Experience

David & Lisa are both highly professional, thorough, fair and efficient. They were especially effective against opposing counsel/party who was a complete unnecessary nightmare. David & Lisa helped cut through all nonsense and keep the process flowing smoothly with matter of fact results at each stage.... Honestly, an excellent experience all of the way through.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
