Do not recommend

I hired Nancy for my dcfs case. She defended the social workers, which were in violation. She made promises of what she was going to do in court. She told the judge of documents she was going to prepare and she never did. I would call her and text her she would not respond for days sometimes weeks. W...hen I would text her that I was going to make a complaint she then would ask me to meet in her office and she would type up my concerns our at least act like it as I never seen what she typed. She promised to goto court file court docs to requesting to change custody and request certain medical attention my child needs and still has not. She will not answer phone calls and only responds via text "I can't talk right now". I strongly request that you don't hire. I paid $3500 for nothing!

Did not show up as promised and did not return phone calls

Paid her $500 in advance for just showing up with me for a restraining order hearing. Somehow, I feel she believed the other party and not me, even though I had explained to her in advance that they are liars and and that they will lie. Not good. I would have been better off just going in front of... the judge by myself, instead of agreeing to go with a moderator. She was also supposed to show up to a second restraining order hearing against another family member of these people, but she was a no-show. I got the restraining order regardless. Anyway, she did not return phone calls and I find to pay $500 for her to show up at a restraining order hearing where the other party was already investigated for violence against me and charges filed with the DA's office, should already be a slam-dunk case.

Inexperienced at best

Kelso seemed unexperienced especially when she found information that I, her client, possessed. Additionally, at court hearings she helped out non-clients more than she helped me with her opinions and advice.
