David Emory Kelley II

I was very nervous when my ex decided to file for full custody. During my consultation, I could tell Mr. Kelley was experienced and knew exactly how to navigate through my custody battle. These situations can be very scary, especially when you think about losing time with your child. Lisa Gavia and M...r. Kelley were always very responsive, answered any questions or concerns I had, and made this an easier experience than I was anticipating. Very appreciative of their help and support.

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.

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.

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.

David Kelley helped me through my divorce and made a difficult situation seem effortless. David and his staff were courteous and empathetic to my situation and had the desire to represent me and my needs throughtout the process. There are no words to describe my gratitude for David Kelley and Lisa ...Gavia for their dedication to not only mine but their clients success. I would recommend 'The Law Office of David E. Kelley' to anyone in need.
