She took my case as Pro Bono! Hooray for Women solidarity!...

Divorce is a life-changing experience, and the end result will determine the quality of your life. So be careful who you chose to take your case. I struggled a lot to find a lawyer but at the end I was so lucky. I feel so blessed to have found a lawyer with a heart rather than someone just out f...or a paycheck. Because my first lawyer made me fail on my cases yet she put me imminute danger sharing my confidential information with my ex just asking for money. I was desperate for legal representation. I was terrified, morose, disappointed, tired and confused. I needed someone who I felt would fight for me to have JUSTICE. I couldn't find any lawyer for over months. At the end I asked Judge Prince to obtain a lawyer to represent me in the court and Yesssss...!, Mrs. Kelly McPherson took my case as a pro bono. And trust me I know how stressful this is. It’s emotionally, physically, and financially (my case was pro bono) stressful. Once she took my case I was finally able to sleep through the night and my stress levels were low. I never had to worry about anything. She gave me her hand to save my life as woman as we can be week sometimes. I found Mrs. Kelly who helped me find clarity and calm throughout the legal process. She is always willing to go above and beyond when it comes to communication with clients – late night or weekend emails and quick response time for any and all questions. I was very impressed with the level of service I received from the firm without paying anything. I met Mrs. Kelly and spoke with the actual attorneys who would be representing me in my situation. Her team worked efficiently and effectively to get the job done. She also found me professional help from Forensic Valuation Experts as pro bono. I can honestly say that working with Knies, Helland & McPherson Law has been a wonderful experience through a very difficult time. This is my honest experience with them. Mrs. Kelly McPherson has represented me in the most professional manner, her ethics are of the highest standards. In unvarnished truth she will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. In the midst of a very difficult situation has communicated with me in a way that has been warm and respectful. In court Mrs. Kelly was well prepared, confident, extremely knowledgeable, and entirely well-spoken, and did a very good job of defending me. I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and she did not steer me wrong. I was very impressed with how she handled everything. I gained a lot of respect for her as an attorney and a person throughout this whole process. She made me very proud. I certainly could not have done this without her. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you and your team Mrs. Kelly. You are a wonderful lawyer and person! I will keep the goodies that you sent me. Thank you for everything! I would highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson Law firm to any woman looking for solid representation and the best possible financial outcome. I am for sure that the attorneys at Knies, Helland & McPherson Law will take the best care of you and do everything in their power to make your case outcome as successful as possible as mine! I will forever be grateful to them. Thank you!

Posted by anonymous | August 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

On my challenging complicated case.

I strongly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a professional, absolutely well organized and outstanding attorney. She presented my case so well and was always ahead of the game. Dealing with a case of abuse or domestic violence is not easy for the victim, Kelly was always a positive light. I walked... out of her office with confidence. Kelly not only brought light and hope to my case, she was incredibly insightful and smart about how to proceed. Dealing with narcissistic abuse can be a challenge when the courts and other professionals don’t understand the dynamic of NPD. Presenting my case was a big part of getting the results I wanted for me and my kids. She put in a lot of time and effort into it and I will forever be grateful. I have to add the office staff were amazingly supportive and welcoming, their lovely office dogs, therapeutic, and their smiles always encouraging. Kelly: -Thank you for making the impossible seem possible, and become possible.

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.
