I have a lawyer for over 40 years and have been practicing Family Law for over thirty-six years of those years. I find Family Law as one of the few areas of practice where attorenys can actually help a client. Our Firm has over 100 years of combined experience in Family Law. Our lawyers, paralegals and staff at Atkinson & Kelsey PA try to assist our clients in navigating the complex and ofter perplexing legal system while they are going through what must be the most difficult period of their life. We strive to treat our clients with dignity and respect.
