Straightward and Helpful

Ms. Writer is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable given her many years of experience. Her rates are very reasonable and I have been going to her on a number of matters. I have worked with many family attorneys (unfortunately) and Ms. Writer is one of few who truly stood out. I really apprec...iated the fact that she is presents reality and keeps me grounded during my process. I highly recommend you consider Ms. Writer for your difficult family matters.

This review has to be one of my favorites because it was my first review on AVVO! You were so kind to think of me and to take the time to post. Many thanks to you. I wish you and your daughter well in life.

Highly Recommended!

Kayleene is a very good attorney who is capable, thorough, and trustworthy. She is knowledgeable about family laws and follows through with paperwork and phone calls in a timely manner. She cares deeply about her clients and she is not afraid to engage when necessary. More importantly, Kayleene is... very fair and honest with her billable hours. Her assistant Margie is also a pleasure to work with. With her guidance and assistance, I am always able to make the most educated decision for my case; I highly recommend Kayleene to anyone needing her services.

Posted by anonymous | May 08, 2019 | Child Custody

Professional, Assertive, Compassionate

Ms. Writer did an exceptional job with a complicated custody case that was being contested in both California and Pennsylvania. Even in the face of adversity and challenges, Ms. Writer showed dedication through research and determination to ensure what was best for my child. I am living proof that ju...stice can prevail for the father if properly represented! She also allowed me to carry out a few of the tasks to keep costs down. I would recommend Ms. Writer without hesitation for any family law matter.

Thank you for your review! I will never forget this case. As we navigated issues of custody and visitation, we had to be mindful of the laws here in California as well as the laws in Pennsylvania. I am so glad all worked out for the best and wish you well in life.

Great divorce attorney

Kayleene was absolutely amazing. I was a wreck when I came to see her. She calmly answered my questions and guided me through a very difficult and challenging (for me) divorce procedure. She is always ready to protect her client's best interest but mindful of unnecessary expenses. She pulled me out ...of a crisis and negotiated fiercely on my behalf. Absolutely top notch. Hope you never need an attorney, however, Kayleene is one of the best if you do.

Great Attorney and fair

Kayleene is great, compassionate, and works hard for you. I retained her for my divorce 4 years ago and so glad that I did. When I have legal questions, she answers for me and I'm very lucky to have her on my side. You would be too, give her a chance should you have any family legal issues that need ...to be addressed. Don't go anywhere else. :)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
