Kelli D. Avallone

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!

I found Kelli through Brook Olson, another good resource, after I was having constant problems with my ex then was served a temporary restraining order. I interviewed several lawyers and appreciated her straight forward, no nonsense approach. She presented me with a plan of how to approach the TRO an...d defend myself. One of the biggest things I appreciated working with Kelli is communication. Kelli responds back in a very timely manner whether through text, email or a phone call. This gave me the assurance she was there to take care of the problem. Kelli did a great job of getting me prepared for court and what to expect. We appeared in court, she put the plan into action and got the TRO dropped. She also got court ordered the things we have been trying to institute, ie use of communication through an app, 3rd party pick up’s, scheduled phone calls. She also got a portion of our attorney’s fees paid by my ex. If you need a lawyer, look no further, Kelli is who you are looking for.

Kelli is by far the most helpful an d knowledgeable attorney I have EVER encountered! I am in the midst of a messy divorce and Kelli quickly was able to identify my issues and made the entire process easy for me. Prior to Kelli I was extremely flustered and scared but with her expertise and knowled...ge she was able to walk me through the process effortlessly which was such a relief to me!

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!
