This girl is a FIRECRACKER in court & the attorney EVERYONE will want

I was married to a narcissist and if you know, you know..... If you dont know what a narcissist is, then just imagine going against a Devil with clothes on and they'll lie and manipulate EVERYONE to turn the tables and make the victim look like the perpetrator and make themselves look like a victim. ...FIRST OF ALL, Kelsey is VERY experienced in this type of person and court case. So, if you are worried about what will go down on your case in court, Kelsey will far exceed your expectations of what a great attorney can do for you. If you're up against a wolf in sheeps clothing and you know they'll definitely play dirty in court, Kelsey will turn out to be your dream come true in the midst of a living nightmare and will do the final mic drop for you. Kelsey took charge and kept my exs expensive attorney from burning our son and I out of receiving justice. She spotted the lies & manipulation and pointed them out immediately to the judge in a way he finally understood. Kelsey knows the law like the back of her hand and I was so tickled watching and listening to her put my ex and his attorney in their place FINALLY. One time she even respectfully corrected the judge because she KNOWS the law and is fearless, like any attorney fighting for your childs life SHOULD be! I honestly feel that my judge sided with the dad somewhat in this case and because I didnt have evidence of physical abuse in court prior to the evidence of verbal, financial and other types of proof of abuse was disregarded and the judge treated our case like I had simply changed my mind about my husband one day and chose to leave instead of what ACTUALLY happened. So I felt like the judge was looking for a way to grant my ex equal parenting time but Kelsey didnt put up with any of it. I was honestly tickled by the way she addressed my ex and his attorneys accusations against me. She told the judge that he was just hurling accusations at the proverbial wall hoping they'd stick lol I got such a kick out of watching her at work and the other attorney was and is considered top 5 in Spokane. So, I was blessed to have Kelsey advocate for me. At one point, I told her that she was good at her job and she humbly grinned and said that law runs in her family and that her dad was an attorney and she LOVES being one and THAT is key when you are searching for an attorney. Attorneys like Kelsey one in a million and she is always thinking about your case just as much as you, if not more. You will LOVE having Kelsey on your side. I really do believe she has a gift. She knows the law by heart (shes like a walking law library calculator lol). Kelsey is also kind and patient and makes you feel HEARD which is also rare in family law court rooms. She will calm you with her confidence. Kelsey Kittleson is the best there is! Hi Kelsey! I cant wait to see the great reviews start racking up for you. You definitely deserved mine! Thank you again! xoxo ilysm❤️ Shashana

Gracious, Honest & Smart-Working!

Kelsey Kittleson is highly intelligent and very kind! She listens patiently, and returns with productive questions to clarify the point while considering what should be done. She is concise and works swiftly. I appreciate all of the timely advise and direction I received through our time spent togeth...er. I highly recommend working with Ms. Kittleson, if ever in need of a custody attorney.
