Knowledgeable, professional lawyer

My divorce was a very confusing process, and I found Kelly Shaffer on Google. From the first phone call, Kedra was very professional and helpful. They arranged a meeting with Kelly. She was very informative and helpful. She represented me very well in court and every time I contacted the office, the...y were very helpful. I couldn't have gotten through this without her and her staff.

Having Kelli Satterly's support and guidance was wonderful!

Looking back I can honestly say that I made a great decision in working with Kelli Satterly in my Divorce and Child Custody needs. Although the separation was amicable and to the point where I initially considered going through the process without representation, it quickly became quite clear that I... would not have been able to do this on my own. The amount of stress alleviated through the support I received (with quick and knowledgeable answers to my questions) helped me along the way in making better/more informed decisions. Emails and phone calls were quickly responded to and in stressful situations as this, being given that priority makes a world of a difference in being able to put my concerns to rest. I cannot imagine now going through this without her assistance. I am very grateful and would most certainly consider recommending her to my friends and family who may find themselves in need.

Top Notch Lawyers Who Care

I had the pleasure of working with the Shaffer & Associates Group during my divorce. Though everyone in the organization was professional, kind, and helpful; I was especially fortunate to have Kelli Satterly assigned as my lawyer. In fact, she was the main reason I was able to survive the divorce; ...she was not only my lawyer, but also my councilor. She led me through the process with tremendous skill, patience, and kindness. Ms. Satterly was a warrior in the courtroom, fighting until our goals were reached. She became my lifeline and provided me with a sense of stability through the toughest time in my life. If you need a lawyer who genuinely listens to your wants and needs and will not quit until the job is done, Kelli Satterly is for you. I would highly recommend Ms. Satterly and Shaffer @ Associates to anyone.

Prior client

Ms. Shaffer was so helpful during a painful and confusing process. Having to deal with divorce issues is never something that you think you will find yourself dealing with. I am very appreciative of Ms Shaffer's ability to provide advice and also understand the many emotions I experienced during th...e process. She is honest and works very hard to get the best result possible for you. Would definitely hire her again if I ever needed her.

Incompetent Attorney

Hiring Ms Shaffer was a mistake on my part; she was consistently ill prepared for court, late for court, and other than lighten my bank account by several thousand dollars, she did not do a thing for me. She advised me to file useless motions that only served to pad hr bill and she escalated the stre...ss level of this divorce tenfold. I got the distinct impression that my divorce and custody issues only mattered to her as long as she could drag this case out and bill me for it. My best interests were a non issue for her.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Kelly and I opposed each other on a complex move-away case. I was extremely impressed with her courtroom demeanor. Her ability to focus on the issues and obtain the information necessary to assist the court in making its determination was excellent. She works well with others and shows respect for the court, counsel and clients. It was a pleasure working with her to resolve what issues we could and litigate the ones we could not."
