Grateful Father

I have to start off by saying that my case seemed unwinnable due to me being naive and signing documents I didn’t understand during and at the finalization of my divorce the previous year. Kelly came highly recommended, having an outstanding reputation as a family attorney. I hired Mrs. McPherso...n to gain custody of my kids and to allow me to give them the childhood they deserve. The staff was very friendly, accommodating to my needs, and made me feel like I was part of their family. I vented, laughed and cried with nearly everyone there. Their professionalism in the courtroom and with other legal contacts was exemplary throughout the entire process. Through the months of dealing with a very messy, lengthy legal battle, she kept me informed, and ahead of the game. She ran everything through me first for my approval, and helped me make the best decisions for my kids. With her expertise, I was able to take the moral high ground and not allow myself to to fall into “dirty laundry” fighting with my ex. I felt well prepared when we went into the court room. I was very impressed with the amount of time and effort she and the law firm devoted to my case. Often I would receive emails late in the night and weekends, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Mrs. McPherson and her law firm to anyone who needs legal services.

Grateful Ex-Military Spouse

As a long time military spouse, I was given the opportunity to be represented by a very knowledgeable and professional attorney with Family Law and Military Law experience. Kelly McPherson was extremely approachable and attentive to the military details of my case. She was helpful in keeping matte...rs civil between both parties and focusing on the well-being of the children. Her commitment and use of her emotional intelligence with her clients are what makes her stand out as a successful attorney. Her representation is solid and I would recommend her services to anyone in need of an excellent Family Law attorney.

Thankful client

Being a father in a custody case with an infant can be overwhelming and give the feeling that all the cards are stacked against you. These situations can sadly and rapidly become very ugly. On a recommendation from a close friend I hired Kelly McPherson. By doing so I put my daughters and my rela...tionship, safety, health and future in her hands. Kelly is absolutely brilliant and the epitome of professionalism. Kelly’s structure, focus and knowledge of the court system is unparalleled. Kelly will work in your best interest to keep the matter civil and walk the high road while putting my interests and my daughter’s wellbeing above anything else. Kelly is extremely knowledgeable in family law and very strategic with her cases. Once you are in the courtroom, you realize what you have been paying for, and if your case does go to trial, you will not come up short with Mrs. McPherson’s representation. I was amazed at the results. She truly cares about my daughter and me and successfully fought for what is important to us while helping me maintain perspective along the way.

Family, protective order

I have worked with Kelly for nearly 2 years now, and been very pleased with all of our interactions. She has handled a messy, and very complicated situation with great efficiency and attention to detail. I would refer her without hesitation for any family needs. I would not be where I am today wi...thout her help.
