Kelly Rae Waggonner

I was referred to Kelly by my personal attorney, who strongly recommended her based on the experience of his previous clients. I hired Kelly Waggonner both to write my pre-nuptial agreement and to be my consulting attorney during a mediated divorce when my marriage ended. Kelly is intelligent, knowle...dgeable, balanced, and a tremendous thought partner. I believe re-hiring a service professional is the best sign of a positive experience. As noted previously, I have hired her twice. I plan to use her again if I ever have a need for representation in family law or mediation.

Kelly gave me honest and sound advice from the start. She laid out my options and the associated costs. She did not waste my time and money with empty promises or unrealistic expectations. With her advice I was able to settle my divorce quickly. I had to pay my ex husband but maintained my house and... primary physical custody of my children, which were my ultimate goals. She is active in the local legal community - meaning she knows the players and will strategize accordingly. Kelly is an aggresisve, experienced and ethical attorney who will listen to you, advocate for you and help you navigate your divorce to achieve your best result. Once I retained Kelly my stress level dropped as I understood what was ahead and how I was going to get through it.

Divorce seems to bring out the worst in everyone but I can honestly say that through it all Kelly was incredibly professional- even when my ex husband and his attorney stooped to game playing. Kelly was an excellent advisor, knowledgable law practitioner, highly organized, ethical, and has my highes...t recommendation. There are many lawyers who can prepare divorce paperwork and know the law but Kelly is also very skilled in the courtroom. I was incredibly impressed with the way she presented my case, and handled my ex-husband's lawyer. I worked with 2 mediators and 1 other lawyer before hiring Kelly. Hiring Kelly was the best decision and some of the best money I've ever spent.

My elderly mother had initially engaged a divorce attorney recommended to her by her caretaker but he turned out to be inexperienced and made many mistakes that made a complicated process even harder. It took some time and effort but with Kelly’s strong support, my mother was ultimately able to get e...verything that she deserved and was legally entitled to. Kelly untangled a very complicated situation. She was a very good at explaining the details of the process, our options, and recommendations at every step. She was extremely dependable, returned phone calls and emails quickly, made filings on time, and took actions as necessary. In short, Kelly is a real professional who knows what she’s doing. We were extremely fortunate to have had her on our side.

Ms. Waggonner took my case at the very last minute and was extremely helpful in getting me through divorce mediation and finalizing an MSA; I only wish I had found her earlier on in the process. She was very communicative and gave me solid advice, even if it was advice that I didn't necessarily want ...to hear. She was very accessible and always returned calls and emails promptly. I knew exactly what the status of my case was through each step and felt like she was looking out for my best interests at all times. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a fair and honest attorney and will definitely rely on her assistance again if necessary.
