Kelli Satterly

I would like to share my experience being represented by Kelli Satterly. During a vey difficult divorce and more importantly the custody and visitation hearing (s) and settlement process Kelli Satterly demonstrated her self to be her word, professional, prepared, precise with myself, the court and... opposing counsel and all that were involved in my case. Kelli consistently delivered the "A" game not only when absolutely necessary, on every occasion and always with a kind and friendly smile. Kelli made no promises or predicted no outcomes, she did however provide exceptional legal advice, based her knowledge of the law, and her vast experience. Kelli's preparation with attention to detail was on more than one occasion recognized by the judge and other outside professionals involved in my case. In the midst of the process when the unpredictable occurred Kelli made herself available to discuss what was necessary to help put my mind at ease and assist me through the process. The representation I received from Kelli certainly provided me and my family the best possible outcome.

Complicated divorce, and gender-affirming care battle

I highly recommend Kelli Satterly, whose knowledge of the law is exceptional and who demonstrated kindness, compassion, and understanding throughout my complicated case. • She deftly argued my case; the respondent's lawyer quipped she had run rings around his defense. • She unpacked and clarif...ied the divorce decree my ex and I authored, which turned out to be a huge mistake on our part. • Kelli assisted, encouraged, and supported my teen's identity. The judge awarded me sole custody of all gender-related care for my teen when my ex rejected allowing our child to change their name and gender marker and receive gender-affirming care. • Kelli went above and beyond to ensure a fair and equitable division of assets, reasonable child support (for me), and spousal support (for my ex). In addition to the above, Kelli was emotionally supportive, cheering our successes and consoling our losses. She celebrated with us when my teen's revised birth certificate, social security card, and driver's license arrived.

Awesome lawyer

Kelli is an awesome lawyer in trying to do what is what is best for your child. She is smart and kind. I feel so confident in her. She helped me in my divorce and custody case against my ex and I think did a great job. Now I have to deal with my ex on custody again and immediately called her. She mak...es you feel safe when dealing with a horrible human being who lies constantly and harasses me. I really trust her and would never go with anyone else. She really helps to protect you from bullies.

Happy Client

I cannot say enough about what a fantastic attorney Kelli is! She was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and constantly made herself available to answer my questions or just listen to my concerns. She truly cared about me and made my case a top priority. Kelli is a class act and I would highly rec...ommend her to anyone in need of divorce attorney in the San Diego area.
