Kelli D. Avallone

Attorney Blackburn was referred to me by a family member and she represented me from the beginning of my divorce to the end nearly a year later. I will never use another attorney; she is the best. After my wife attacked me in our single family home I was forced to get a restraining order to protect m...yself and our children. I immediately sought advice of counsel. Kelli got my wife out of the house, and got me full custody of my children while my wife sorted through her issues and had demonstrated that she was able to care for our children. Kelli handled my case with extreme diligence. I always felt secure with her. She checked in with me frequently, and always kept me informed. She gave me realistic expectations, and discussed the possibility of every outcome. Even when I was obsessing over the same issue, Kelli patiently answered my questions again and again. In the end, it was Kelli’s savvy negotiation skills, which prevailed. Kelli saved me over half a million dollars in life-time spousal support, attorneys fees payable to my ex, child support, and the distribution of our assets. Kelli has great situational awareness, and uses that skillset to further her clients’ goals. I felt like she was constantly evaluating our position -strategizing to determine our next move. Kelli is well thought out, and works tirelessly to accomplish the client objectives. Even when Kelli was clearly handling other matters and cases, she always took the time to answer my questions, and reassure me. Her communication is excellent. I never sent her an email, text, or voicemail that went unanswered. In fact, nearly every message was answered within the hour. She cares deeply for her clients, their financial security and their children’s livelihood. Kelli never overcharged me, or billed me unnecessarily; After learning what my ex paid, I felt like she undercharged me from the outset. She is professional, aggressive, and competent. It was everything I needed in an attorney and I will never use another attorney. Now that the divorce is behind me, my quality of life is much improved; my children are happier and I am happier. Thank you Kelli!
