Found Guilty !

The court system can eat you up and spit you out . As I have been victim of too many times. I cannot praise Kelli Blackburn enough for her hard work, dedication and compassion to my child custody / contempt child support cases. The best decision I have made in my 6 long year fight was hiring Ms. Bla...ckburn she steps into the court room ready for trial with confidence, understanding her client and protecting their rights. Exposing the opposing parties fraudulent behavior was a proud full moment to watch. She’s was nothing less than amazing in the court room with a trial verdict of guilty on counts of contempt of child support orders!! Thank you Kelli Blackburn you are an AMAZING Attorney !! Our next case to concur child custody!

Amazing Criminal Defense!

Kelli Blackburn and the Curran Law Firm fought the serious criminal case against me from a felony down to a misdemeanor. The entire team put me at ease right from the beginning and used their combined decades of experience to easily navigate the courts to a positive outcome. Their wisdom, knowledge, ...and advisement is first class and I would trust no other firm with my legal matters!

The best in the business

Kelly and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my TRO, which was dismissed on a 20 minute hearing schedule. Kelly’s attitude to the work she does not only saved me monies, but a huge stress load was lifted off of my shoulders as... she helped guide me to victory over the case. Kelly is a shark; she’s a killer in the court room, she’s aggressive, and does her work with a confidence that supersedes all others in her profession. Her experience is grand. She knows the legal system and is able to foresee any possible hiccups and works diligently in trying to prevent them from happening, keeps you informed about every aspect of your case, gives you the right advice on time, and makes your life that much easier. Kelly is gorgeous and a bad ass. She will show up a stunner and shock you with not only her good looks, but her extreme knowledge and expertise. Do not hesitate on retaining her, you will be getting exactly what you’re paying for; a winner and in every case, the best attorney money can buy.

Kelli Blackburn saved my child custody 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.
