Highly recommend

Attorney Kelli Blackburn came highly recommended to me by a friend and previous client of hers. After speaking with Kelli, I knew immediately that she was the right attorney for me. Kelli aggressively fought for my rights. I was charged with felony domestic violence and child endangerment. Kelli was ...able to get my charges dropped down to a misdemeanor vandalism. Thanks to Attorney Kelli Blackburn, I was able to reunite with my children and move on with my life. I highly recommend Attorney Blackburn!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Kelli Blackburn was a symbol of hope to myself and daughter at a time when our possibilities appeared barricaded and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed almost impossible. She went above and beyond for my case. The thing that impressed me most about Kelli was nothing was "sugar coated...". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Kelli is extremely knowledgeable is all aspects of the law and it reflects inside and outside of the Courtroom. I cannot say enough good things about how she handled my case. My case was a very sensitive and had a lot of moving parts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her.

Best Attorney

Kelli was recommended to me by someone in the military divorce group that I was a part of. Kelli is also a military spouse so she is very knowledgeable when it comes to the ins and outs of the military. She is know to be a “SHARK”. She is very confident and makes sure that her client receives the bes...t outcome possible. She listens and is also very empathetic. She always make sure you understand everything and is always on time sending all the paper works needed. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom. She will go above and beyond for you. I am so happy and thankful that I came across Kelli. She is a very skilled/impressive attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is facing the nasty world of divorce.

Powerful and astute family law trial attorney - HIGHLY recommend!

Kelli Blackburn took my high conflict custody case to trial and was an incredible advocate throughout the entire process. She knows family law extremely well, and frankly, she excels in trial! She was well versed in the facts of my case and seemed to have it all memorized, which is an incredible skil...l for a lawyer to master. Kelli is dauntless, focused, and tenacious. But most importantly, Kelli cares. Great communicator and easy to work with all around. Highly recommend!

Family

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!
