Amazing

Simply put Kelli is fantastic and wonderful. She became my attorney when I chose to give a call on a whim to the Curran Law Firm. She never told me what I wanted to hear, she told me the truth. I was not an easy client to deal with but that did not stop her work ethic and she always looked out for m...y best interest. Hands down she has always delivered what I thought was close to impossible and I got quite frankly a deal of the century in a mess of a felony criminal case that got compounded with additional charges over time but she managed to negotiate things down from a 2 year split sentence to either drug court or a year in a residential treatment program. She gave her honest opinion and suggestion and i knew what to choose. Kelli from the bottom of my heart thank you for saving my life.

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!

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!

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!
