Highly Recommended

Kelly represented me through a contentious divorce from an ex who wanted as much drama as possible. He explained all my options, guided me in the pros and cons of every route, and together we were able to craft an agreement that was accepted by the other party, while producing a settlement that I fel...t was reasonably fair and most importantly protected my kids. I believe Kelly prevented a long, expensive and painful court battle, for which I'm very grateful. And since my divorce was finalized, Kelly has also helped me whenever issues have come up around the parenting plan. I can highly recommend him without prejudice.

Very Satisfied with Initial Consulation

I needed advice on a parenting time issue and Kelly was very knowledgeable, explaining all of my options and the pros and cons of going each directions. He was very honest on his time with me and I would not hesitate at all to contact him again or hire him for more in debth legal work.

Top Notch Legal advice

I used Kelly for a child custody and parenting plan case. Not only was he very knowledgeable and thorough, but he explained my options in ways I could make the best decisions possible. With the situation being emotional and difficult I found him to be extremely compassionate as well. The firm has ...an amazing reputation in town and I feel completely satisfied with their work. For that reason I am using them for estate planning as well. No regrets and would go back in a heartbeat. Worth every penny.
