Great Law Firm

Kelli and Suzanne are great attorneys with high levels of expertise. If you are looking for counsel that pays attention to detail, is responsive and produces high quality case arguments; this would be your “go to” firm. I found Kelli and Suzanne after retaining a previous attorney who unsuccessfully... spent 4 months attempting to reopen a fraudulent case/judgment made against me without my knowledge. They innately understood the situation, took me on as a client, and had the case reopened within several months where I won the 1st hearing. I am very pleased with how things are going and I would highly recommended this firm.

Fantastic, reliable resource!

I was referred to Kelli by a friend, and I have consulted her several times. She is always responsive, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I have not needed to hire her yet, as she has pointed me in the right direction so far every time without having to go to court. Amazing and generous!

Kicka*** attorney!!!!!

I can’t say enough how amazing Kelli is!!! She is full of knowledge and her confident energy kept me positive through out the case! She was able to fight for me and my son’s best interest and got what I needed!!! I can’t not recommend her enough. A true rockstar in the courtroom!

Best Lawyer in the Business

I was referred to Kelli by a friend after my daughter's mom filed a false TRO because I wouldn't let her move to Houston with my daughter since we have joint custody. From the first phone call I had with Kelli after she reviewed the phony TRO I knew that I was in good hands. She gave me my instructio...ns on what she needed from me and also let me know our plan of attack. She also knew how important it was for me to clear my name and get my daughter back! The hearing comes and my daughter's mom is a no show so the case was dropped! But with Kelli's experience and knowledge she told me that she would go and file again and sure enough the very next day she was granted another phony TRO!!! Unbelievable!! So Kelli worked hard with all of her weapons to gather information, subpoena keys witnesses and pull important documentations! A couple of days before the second hearing was like the last 2 minutes of a game and she really went to work!!! The results of that hard work and strategy paid off as the opposing council opted to settle this out of court the day before the hearing and I was able to get my daughter back thanks to Kelli! She is very aggressive, will fight hard for you and very easy to communicate and talk with. If you ever find yourself in a situation like I was in, let's just hope that you know someone who will refer you to Kelli!

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.
