Kelly Ann Hobbs

Ms. Hobbs was my initial attorney for my divorce case. I emailed her with a very specific question to which she replied, "judges don't care about XXX." Based on this, I proceeded forward, and then lost my case for that exact issue! She showed up to a pre-trial motion completely unprepared, which s...he acknowledge after the hearing. I fired her, and hired a new attorney who thought surely I had misunderstood what Ms. Hobbs had told me about "the issue." When I showed her the email from Ms. Hobbs, my new attorney was shocked. She couldn't believe Ms. Hobbs would say a judge wouldn't care about a law that is on the books. Despite my new attorney's best efforts, the damage had already been done, costing me tens of thousands of dollars.

Kelly Hobbs is a great attorney. I am so thankful I found her. When I met with her in September of 2012, I was in a financial mess with very limited funds to pay for my divorce. I thought I was going to have to walk away from everything. Kelly did not ask for thousands up front, like the other at...torneys and she provided me with great advice. Finally I had hope! She has been my attorney for several months and there have been no surprises. When her bill arrived, I was surprised it wasn't higher because of our lengthy conversations, emails and fees for filing with the courts. My ex paid more than double what I did and his lawyer did not even know how the courts viewed retirement accounts. I am very busy so I do not have time to run back and forth across Charlottesville to meet with her. I went to her office one time and all other conversations were via email or phone. In the end, I walked away with more than I expected. Kelly is an experienced attorney who will take very good care of you without charging you an arm and a leg.
