I have been represented by Carrie off and on for the last 5 years. She has seen me through an ugly divorce, modifications of parenting time and even defended me when my ex accused me of abusing my children. I have always found her to be compassionate, intelligent and assertive in representing me. ...I am once again hiring her to represent me in what is hopefully the final modification hearing.

"Carrie Kelly is a truly amazing lawyer. The two qualities about Carrie that stand out most to me are an uncommon depth of knowledge and outstanding analytic abilities, both of which make her an exceptional advocate for her clients. She is also an excellent mentor and a really interesting person."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"It comes as no surprise to me that Carrie was named "Family Law Attorney of the Year" by her Colorado Springs peers. Carrie has the heart of a teacher: She wants her clients to understand the confusing and frustrating process of divorce. She's also generous with her expertise with fellow lawyers in the community and has spent countless hours training younger/newer lawyers in the finer points of family law. I'm proud to work with her."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Carrie Kelly is an excellent attorney and mentor. During my time as her co-worker and subsequently as her opposing counsel, I have always been impressed with her dedication and professionalism. In the family law arena, being able to effectively communicate and work with opposing counsel tends to lead to the best outcomes at the lowest cost for clients. Carrie zealously advocates for clients while maintaining a decorum sometimes lacking in our profession."

"Carrie Kelly takes the time to get to know her clients, and takes all of her cases very seriously. Carrie will be honest with her clients about their options, even when that honesty keeps the client from hiring for additional work. She simply cares too much about her clients to waste their time. I absolutely endorse Carrie Kelly to any client looking for a caring and honest family law attorney who is smart and extremely capable at family law hearings."

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
