Highly Recommend

As my Attorney in a child custody case , David Kelley and Lisa both answered all of my questions and eased my mind every step of the way. They made me feel comfortable, confident , and explained the process to me along the way. I would recommend them and will be using them again.

Highly recommend

Mr. David Kelley and Lisa Gavia are great! From the start Mr. Kelley explained to me how my child custody case was going to be handled because I had no idea what I was doing. He communicated with me and provided quick feedback. The process was very smooth and quick. I would highly recommend to anyone... looking for a family lawyer. Both Mr. Kelley and Lisa were very helpful and kind!

Exceptional Support

Mr. Kelley provided exceptional legal support for my divorce case. His law office was thorough, diligent, and timely with all work on my case. The communication was superb as they took time to help me understand my rights and options, and answered the many questions I had. I highly recommend Mr. Kell...ey's law office.

Excellent communication

Mr. Kelley & Lisa Gavia are wonderful. My free consultation with Mr. Kelley was extremely informative and I never once felt rushed. Every question is answered quickly and with ease. They treated me with respect and understanding throughout the process. It was great to be able to speak with Lisa as... she too is an outstanding attorney with tons of information. I am someone who asks a lot of questions and liked additional explanation and I received this every time. I would highly recommend their services for any Divorce/Custody/Family law case.

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.
