Kelly Malone

I hired Kelly for my divorce and child custody case, and she represented me all the way through trial. She explained things and answered all of my questions through out the entire year long process. She was great about trying to settle or negotiate things out of court to keep costs down, but also was... not afraid to go in to court and fight for me. I would recommend her in a heart beat to all my friends and family.

I was drawn in by the first phone call I made to the office and Kim made me feel so great by taking the time to listen and walk me through so much. One word for Kelly... HONEST. Never have I met someone who took time on her day off to meet with me while I was in town from work. She listened to our st...ory and flat out said... Don't proceed. You might win but you might loose! That's honestly. She wasn't after the money but truly there to help! She gave us many ideas and talked to us as a parent having gone through much of the same issues. Her advise is something that we go back to quite often. It has helped us through so much. I had to call and ask Kelly another question a year later and again, So helpful. I can't thank them enough for helping us as a family. I would go back to Kelly at any point. I wouldn't think twice about it. Thank you Kelly (and Kim) for both being honest. That's hard to find now days.

One of the most unprofessional, ill advised and unprepared attorneys I've met to date. Smelt like an ashtray every time I was able to actually meet with her instead of a run around by her secretary. Anytime we had a hearing she would be outside smoking her cigarettes and styling her hair. Charged out...rageous amounts for simple desk duties I could've preformed myself and before my very last hearing, she had reverify questions with me to remind herself of key components as well as recite them to herself so that she would remember what she was even there for. Once in the hearing, nothing that was ever discussed as crutial means to our case was ever presented (doubting she even remembered) and ultimately ended up in the same spot I was in before I hired her and over a thousand in debt than excepted. Mind you it took me 3 months after eliminating her representation to even get a statement of how my retainer was even utilized. And she charged me over $50 for any email sent asking for the statement she was behind with in itself. Never again will I use her to represent a family custody matter nor would I recommend her to any of my peers.

I know and have worked with a number of family law attorneys through the years but Kelly Malone is the one I chose to represent me when I needed an attorney. Kelly possesses skills and knowledge far greater than the average attorney and she has compassion and understanding for her clients. Her years ...of experience and her ability to remember details about individual cases and the court rules help to make her awesome in the office and even more so in the court room. She is definitely my first choice when in need of a family law attorney.
