The Best Decision I Made During My Divorce

If you’re looking for a family law attorney with extensive courtroom experience, exceptional judgment, and the ability to know which battles are worth fighting—and how to win them—I highly recommend John Kelleher and his team. By the time I found John, my divorce case had become far more complicat...ed than it ever should have been. The opposing side kept expanding the litigation, turning almost every issue into another battle. I felt overwhelmed and wasn’t even sure where to focus anymore. Although John took over my case less than two months before trial, he quickly mastered a tremendous amount of evidence and immediately understood the bigger picture. What truly sets him apart is his judgment. While the opposing side kept creating new disputes, John never lost sight of what actually mattered. He knew exactly where our time and energy would have the greatest impact, often identifying important issues before I had even considered them. Watching John take the deposition was when I truly understood why his courtroom experience makes such a difference. He wasn’t simply asking prepared questions—he was constantly listening, analyzing, and adapting in real time. Whenever an unexpected answer opened the door to something important, he recognized it immediately, adjusted his strategy on the spot, and knew exactly how to follow up. His ability to think on his feet and instantly turn unexpected answers into opportunities was genuinely impressive. It was clear that this level of judgment comes from years of real courtroom experience. Christine did an outstanding job preparing me for both the deposition and trial, making sure I was organized, confident, and ready. Ryan was also a valuable part of the team, always thoughtful, resourceful, and willing to offer another perspective when needed. What impressed me just as much was how seamlessly the entire team worked together. They were always one step ahead, anticipating concerns before I even mentioned them. Once I hired John and his team, I no longer felt like I was fighting the case alone. Even after trial, John continued helping me implement the court’s orders, and their support never stopped once the judgment was entered. One thing I appreciated most was how respectful they were of my time and money. Every recommendation had a purpose, every strategy was carefully considered, and I never felt that unnecessary work was being done. Looking back, I can honestly say every dollar I spent was worth it. Ironically, the only time they were ever “slow” to respond was when I was trying to figure out how to send them my final payment after the case was over. That probably says more than anything else I could write in this review.

Professional, Kind and Patient

Mr. Kelleher was recommended to me by an out-of-state attorney when she heard I might need a lawyer. He helped me with my uncontested divorce and then again when my ex changed his mind about the already filed divorce decree. Mr. Kelleher's professionalism and confidence helped ease much of the anxiet...y I had about my circumstances. Everyone in his office was kind and patient as they navigated through my unfortunate circumstance. I highly recommend John Kelleher to anyone looking for a family lawyer in the Las Vegas and Henderson area.

Still the BEST in Vegas!

STILL THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN VEGAS! I cannot say enough great things about Christine & John Kelleher! They are simply Team Awesome! After my husband's employer relocated us to California his son was being withheld from us. We filed for visitation with the courts on our own in order to save money.... Well, needless to say, the other party hired a lawyer and served us stating all kinds of lies trying to claim he abandoned his son on the day we were flying into Vegas for our court date! I reached out to several of my friends that work in the courts and they all confirmed that Kelleher & Kelleher was STILL, after many many years, the #1 most respected and best Family Lawyers in all of Nevada! We immediately called them from the airport and filled them in on everything, including the fact that we had to be in court in just a few short hours. They immediately got their team together and met us at the Family Court to represent us! They not only represented us amazingly but they were able to get us even MORE visitation than we thought was possible with us being out of state. They shot down all of the other party's lies and we were more than successful in court! If you are dealing with any custody issues or need help knowing ALL your rights (Guys, you have more rights than some of you realize) then it only takes a single consultation with them to KNOW FOR A FACT you will be in the hands of the BEST Family Lawyer Team in Las Vegas. They truly care about not only their clients but the innocent children involved as well. They are 100% honest and truthful and will not ever give you false hope! Thanks you John and Christine for all you have done and continue to do for our family!!!

Custody Case

I was referred to John Kelleher to represent me for an extremely stressful and difficult custody case. I was counter sued by my children’s Father to lower his child support. The decision to finally take action had been a long time coming and I was scared. But, John and his staff were so amazing. John... is brilliant as a lawyer, but that's really only half the battle when you go through something like this. He was always extremely responsive to questions or concerns that I had and I was constantly contacting his office. His staff was so gracious and attentive. No matter the issue or concern, every single team member was kind, helpful, genuine, warm and welcoming. I was actually excited to go see them when I went into the office because I knew I would always be greeted with a warm welcome. John worked extremely hard, putting in endless hours, never over charging me and never making me feel like he was in it for the fees. And, I can't say enough about the attorneys who worked for him, the paralegals and entire staff. I never felt like I was putting them out or was an annoyance. I can't recommend John and his people enough. They are the BEST!!! After the entire ordeal I won on everything. I won primary physical custody and his child support was actually increased. I didn't even initially ask for that. But John did such a great job. There is no better family law attorney in Las Vegas.
