Excellent Attorney To Handle My Modification

My original court order was from another state and needed to be transferred to Texas and modified. Our previous court experience was quite contentious and I was very concerned that would be the case again. David and Lisa were fantastic, thorough, and tremendously helpful at helping understanding ...the differences between the state I had been in and what I could expect in Texas. I felt comfortable with their advice and that I was making making sound decisions in the modification. Ultimately, he found creative ways to help me get what I wanted without giving up the terms that were most important to me, which is truly all that matters in the long run. As with my previous case, I made the decision to hire David because of his willingness to listen to my story and what was important to me before telling me what I should do or how we should proceed. I found David to be firm, but consistent, and very much appreciated his approach to my case with me and opposing counsel. Should I need further legal assistance in my case, I would not hesitate to hire him again.

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.

Suit to Modify

As my attorney, David was very proactive in protecting my rights as a father. David and his associate Lisa Gavia went above and beyond to give reliable feedback and answers regarding my case. Additionally David demonstrated excellent negotiation skills during my mediation settlement agreement. At thi...s law office, I felt my interests protected and adhered to causing no concerns. His services were reasonable and fair. I highly recommend him to others based on my experience as a client.

I hired David over a year ago and he has been amazing! He's honest, caring, supportive and takes your feelings into consideration! He went to bat for me like an attorney straight out of the movies!! The court room spectators where in ahhhh! I know I have a great attorney and will keep him for years... to come!
