Kelly June McPherson

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!

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.

I was recently ordered by the military to deploy and had a ton of questions about how to handle my parenting agreement while I’m gone. Kelly provided me really great advice on what issues should and shouldn't be taken to court. It was really refreshing to work with someone who cared more about me and... my kids and less about making money off of my situation.

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.

Unfortunately I felt highly pressured during mediation to settle my case and after having other attornies review my case post decree there were mistakes and missteps made with an extremely lopsided agreement, I also didn't get presented with 30 days to contest the decision, I should have gone to tria...l - the outcome was presented to me to be much much worse but I have to think that was not the case, and certainly I was rushed through this process with little preparation at the final mediation hearing. I had paid for a lot of reports (over 10K) - including a business valuation (one CPA opinion), an educational evaluation and a forensic accounting report, where my ex wrecked my books- there were no financial consequences for her actions instead it was a mess and the business valuation pointed this out- but she got half the business value ?? WTF ? Because I am not a millionaire but still a business owner, with a complex business case- I was bambozzled out of over 400K of my life's work and self made, self educated - working hard prior to the marriage and I lost it all property assets, high-value items, vehicles and 1/2 my retirement - to a "uneducated loser" really ? Something went horribly wrong here. Avoiding trial may be what some lawyers like to do - and this is the case here, I should have gone to trial and switched attorney's - instead I get billed for withdrawing from my case, probably for the best. The depth of preparation and really digging into to my financials - which as I was working full time - painting the picture was not something this attorney did for me and what I expected and paid for so there was a clearcut strategy, instead I ended up having to do the heavy lifting and I no a legal mind and certainly have not been through this kind of analysis before- I did it - I made it happen with all the forms and obviously there were mistakes made here, not considering business operating expenses and I AM the business - I quit the business there is no cashflow- my income and business go hand in hand, the only thing I got out of it was the business back in my name, big whoop because my ex is still extracting a huge alimony payment per month, that is NOT sustainable and based on 1 year of income - not realistic with economic ups and down- and who knows how it was calculated ? I think that was a huge mis-step in my case, so back to court I go- again huge dollars spent here and huge dollars lost - my life's work and savings for a money grubber to take it all. Be careful when hiring this attorney and do your homework - if trial is to be avoided then perhaps this will work for you. In addition I believe - being a civil union there is less care or concern and there is an eerily similar case - another same sex couple that had the same outcome, seems to be a churn and burn, grind through the system and accept your losses. I will never accept it - and it has and is the ruin fo my life, all I can hope for is karma at this point - don't expect the legal system to help you or navigate your financial life - because accordingly - get a pre-nuptial- well of course - I expected a better outcome and instead I live with constant regret and now I know I was given a raw deal, pick your attorney wisely - if you have tons or cash or no cash perhaps this attorney is a good choice, with a simple personal asset split, but if a business is involved I think to pick wisely as I know there were mistakes made - particularly in the business valuation, there was not enough stones unturned in this case but the picture painted was certainly not the reality, like my ex was this rosey contributor- very much the opposite and racked up all the debt and spend spend spend without any consequences- yet she gets it all- the system is truly not on the bread-winners side, and it retrospect I don't think this attroney fought like a tiger to win win win- her's sure did and had a reputation of mean- that is what it takes hire mean to win.
