Kelly Rae Waggonner

Kelly was honest and supportive from the day I met her. She did not give me any false hope of any out come I desired and guided me in the direction of the most predictable outcome based on the law and her experience. She is loyal and ethical and made sure everything was done without mistakes. Any mis...takes made during mediation or after could have hurt in the long run. It felt good to have someone by my side who really cared and who was educated enough to make a difference.

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.

Ms. Waggonner assisted me with a reasonably complex prenuptial agreement. She listened attentively to my goals, laid out a clear and flexible plan to obtain those goals and explained the relevant case law informing the strategy she suggested and then implemented. She answered every question I had w...ithout judgement and reworked parts of the agreement I wished to be adjusted without hubris. When conflict arose with the opposing council, she approached the problem with care and successfully drove the agreement to conclusion. Ms. Waggonner is a special combination of intelligence and humanity. In a stressful situation, I was fortunate to have her as my advocate.

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.
