Genuine Human Being...and Lawyer

Kelly Tufts is a very capable, intelligent, and genuine attorney. She has offered me realistic legal advice for a custody/visitation modification, while also looking out for my interest. She is kind and relatable, even offering levity in one-on-ones when I feel anxious or nervous about my situation. ...I wholeheartedly recommend her as an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
