Working with Kelly

Kelly Mendoza is an amazing attorney because of how upfront she is with her clients such as myself. She takes her time in explaining various aspects of a case and promptly responds to questions with thoughtful answers. Thank you, Kelly.

Excellent

Kelly has been my attorney for several years and she has helped me with a couple family court issues. She is professional and knowledgeable. She listened to my issue(s) and explained what she felt was the best way to proceed. On the occassions that we had to go to court, she explained each process ...thoroughly and sat with me beforehand and afterward; she is extremely supportive! She and her staff are responsive and kept me informed of all updates and proceedings. I felt at ease knowing I had Kelly working my case. A huge thank you to Kelly!!

Highly Recommend

Kelly has been my attorney for the last five years, helping me every step of the way through an ongoing divorce-related matter. She is very knowledgeable, well-prepared, and personable, and I very much appreciate that all responses to questions and requests are prompt and thorough. Her advice and dir...ection keeps me on the right track and she always takes the time to fully prepare me for every court proceeding. I am tremendously grateful to have her by my side.

Very Professional & Supportive

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.

I could trust my case to Kelly!

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.

  • 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.
