Kelly Mendoza

Kelly was great. Our case was not terribly difficult, but it was going to be emotional and she knew that from the very first time that I spoke with her. She helped me understand the steps that we would be taking and the steps that the other party would be taking. She prepared me for what if scenario...s and that is extremely helpful when dealing with family/custody/child support cases. She as well as her paralegal were quick with their response times (phone and email). Kelly was diligent in obtaining all the information that she could regarding my case and did not waste my time or my money. I felt as though Kelly was thorough and thats really important since we hire attorney's as we do not know the law the way they do. I would highly recommend Kelly and her firm if anyone was looking to resolve custody/child support issues. Absolutely great.

In 2013, my battle with my ex-husband took a terrible turn. I fought the first trial myself thinking "good will prevail" only to find myself losing my children from my lack of knowledge of the law in the court room and lawyer antics. It took me two years to find an attorney who I could trust with m...y case and know would fight for my children with integrity. After 4 other attorneys I landed with Kelly and 11 months later my children are back home with their mother. Family law is ugly and family court is not somewhere one should ever go alone. Kelly took the stress out of my life during the trail letting me focus on the reunification process and eliminating my exhusband's alienation techniques while helping me navigate the court processes. Kelly taught me how to stay focused and let her do her job. The heart of a mother who loses her children is emotional and Kelly taught me how to remove the stress and need to defend myself and focus on my children. My case was resolved at mediation 30 days prior to the trial 50/50 decision making and parenting.

Kelly has been instrumental throughout a long and tedious divorce and subsequent custody evaluations. Throughout these proceedings I have learned how important it is to have a competent attorney, one who knows the law, will research case law, and won't promise unrealistic expectations. Kelly spends... the time explaining the details of a case and answers questions when they need to be answered. Another important fact I've learned is that if you want an answer to every question, immediately, you have to realize you are paying for each communication! I have worked with Kelly long enough to know if she doesn't immediately answer that it is because my question can wait... and she doesn't want to charge me unnecessarily. In the end, you can only hope that the opposing attorney is as competent as Kelly and has enough foresight to only fight the battles that need to be fought... anything else will simply rack up the fees. Choosing Kelly Mendoza was the first and best choice I made going into a situation I was not prepared to handle on my own. Having her on your side will help get through a process that no one wants or ever plans to go through in their lives.

I came to Kelly when I was going through a very difficult child custody case. She was very open and explain to me everything that I was needing to complete in order to get my daughter back. She kept in contact all the time. Any worries or concerns that I had she made sure to sort them out for me the ...best that she could. She was very understanding about everything that was going on with me and my ex-husband. She was very outspoken during our court case and made sure that everything was met to standards. Kelly always informed me about everything that was going to be going on and what any outcomes maybe, she was always reachable and always was appropriate with time on returning my calls. In the end I regained full custody of my daughter back. Kelly is such a great lawyer that she will be my family lawyer when ever I am in need and I would recommend her to anybody!!!
