Kelli D. Avallone

I came into contact with Kelli via a reccomedation thru a friend. Needless to say I was skeptical (with attorneys in general) because I have had a family attorney before and paid excessively to have my attorney do nothing but roll over and give into whatever was proposed by the opposition. This is de...finitely not the case with Ms. Blackburn! She is an absolute firecracker! She will go above and beyond what needs to be done and its all done in a very timely manner! She is very communicative and always has the RIGHT answer, whether you want to hear it or not. So in conclusion, if you are looking for a good family, domestic violence, or criminal defense lawyer look no further. Kelli Blackburn is your woman!

Kelli has been representing me and my family since December 2019, after a false restraining order was filed. Even though Kelli was scheduled to be off for the holidays, Kelli readily took the case because she knew it was an emergency, and incredibly important for us to have competent counsel. At the ...first hearing, Kelli convinced the Court that the restraining order was predicated on malicious falsehoods; the Court denied opposing counsels request to set the hearing out for 6 months. Kelli convinced the Court to give us a hearing, just two weeks later, but right before Christmas. This completely interfered with Kelli's vacation, but she canceled her plans to help us. Opposing counsel saw how fierce Kelli was and immediately resigned from the case. Kelli appeared at the evidentiary hearing prepared, and ready. She knew every fact of the case, and every lie claimed by the opposing party. She was incredibly knowledgable in our case and our facts that she sharply cited to our evidence without ever looking down at the numbers. She beat the first restraining order, and we were able to see our children again. Kelli then represented us at a custody modification, which she won, knocking the opposing party from 50/50 to 6 hours of supervised visitation per week. Kelli then filled a motion to recuperate our attorneys fees, the Court Ordered the opposing party to pay $10,225 in attorneys fees - we asked for $10,225, the Court Ordered the fees paid entirely by the opposing party. After months of harassment by the opposing party, Kelli helped us get a DVTRO against her, the Court granted a 3 year permanent Restraining Order against her to protect us. I could not be any more blessed to have Kelli as my attorney. In the last year that she has represented us she has won every hearing, she has never failed to respond to our concerns or our questions. Day, night, and even when she is on "vacation" Kelli never failed to respond to us; her responses came within minutes. Her professionalism and dedication to my case has brought me stability for my children and peace for my family. Kelli is truly remarkable at what she does for her clients. She is results driven and if you tell her what your goal is, Kelli will accomplish it. I continuously recommend her to all my friends and family. She has been an angel in my life especially at a time when my custody case was a nightmare, and I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. if it wasn't for her I probably would have lost my kids on baseless accusations. Kelli righted the wrong, and I will forever be grateful. Not only does Kelli know how to win, she knows how to make you feel completely at ease. You will be extremely comfortable dealing with Kelli and leaving your children's future in her care. Thank you, Kelli

Dealing with Family law, child custody/support is a high-stress situation for most parents. I was a mess trying to navigate, acquaint myself to a system/process with so many moving parts, on top of dealing with an irrational co-parent with constantly competing objectives. Kelli listened sensitivel...y to my circumstance, assessed, and provided an action plan that PROMOTED MY INTEREST for regular (60/40) Visitation! PLUS a financial support plan that I feel good about, and is reasonable to meet my SON’s NEEDS for his care while with Mom. MAKE NO MISTAKE...though friendly, empathic and energetic in her work; Kelli DOESN’T PLAY when it comes to ensuring her clients receive their most favorable outcomes! She was pivotal to convey a “friendly approach” with the other party; while still maintaining MY BEST INTEREST should Mom feel inclined to “fight us” further in trial proceedings. For this...SUCCESS shows in the results! I’m seeing my kid on a regular schedule and know he’s taken care of by BOTH parents! Having Kelli Blackburn in my corner has renewed my confidence; I WILL obtain 50/50 custody with my son in the near future! Also, will do so while maintaining an amicable relationship with Mom, founded on mutual respect/understanding of BOTH OUR/AND SON’s needs! You Rock Kelli!

Kelli is amazing ! She is personable both well diverse in the law and common sense . She has turned my family law case around for the betterment of my beautiful young three daughters and myself. She is fair and never promising. I appreciate her encouragement and positive energy.. she has helped my... horrible family law court experience into something I can understand. I am grateful for her commitment on my position I have taken in my case and representing my family in court. I would recommend Keli to anyone seeking professional educated sincere representation in their case !

Kelli Blackburn helped turn a bad case around for me. I wish I had Kelli in my corner from the beginning of my case. She is a bright, knowledgeable straight shooter. She's not going to waste your time or hers running up fees. She is compassionate and knows the ins and outs of family law. She is acc...essible and keeps you informed throughout all facets of the legal process. She walked me through one of the most difficult processes in my life and made me feel like I had my best interests completely advocated for. She also provided great payment options that were affordable. I interviewed over 10 attorneys before finding Kelli. I saved the best for last! She is trustworthy and cares about her clients. I consider her not only my legal counsel but also a friend now.
