Dependable and Professional

I contacted Kelly after getting a recommendation from a friend of mine when I was going through a divorce in 2013. Kelly was very patient with me and helped me to understand things from both parties. Whenever I had a question or a concern, Kelly was quick to respond to my phone calls and e-mails. I p...ut all of my trust and faith in her to ensure that the outcome of the divorce was fair to both parties. I would certainly highly recommend Kelly if you have any legal matters pertaining to family court.

Someone that can be trusted beyound color lines in North Carolina

Many of us are afraid of trouble but I want to say that even if you do not look for trouble, trouble can surely meet you even in your bed room. This is for sure and I've been there on many occasions and would love to share one of such experiences with you concerning an outstanding lawyer. She did no...t bring me trouble but fought for a cause that I know will stand as record that I will always be grateful to her for. That lawyer is Kelly Renea Routh! Before hiring Cllr Routh this time around, I visited Tom Bush Law Office website and took a glance at her profile. I knew that she was a young lawyer just stepping out of the class room but with high rank from among her peers while she was in school. I also told myself that even though my case was difficult and needed an experience lawyer, I would bet on her because she graduated with an honor and will fight to keep her place among lawyers. I also told myself even though I have not been luck with the law firm in the past, it was better to keep up with the devil you know then to follow an angel that you do not know. I made up my mind to follow Routh and told her on my first contact with her that I looked at her profile so that she can know that I'm hiring her with a feeling that " she will do her best." Cllr Routh did not only did her best but she went beyond representation to get this " POOR BLACK GUY" from trouble that he did not invite. I thought she was just going to stand in court for few days but we went extra round and my resources were depleted. When she knew that I had to money to pay her, she told me that she will still represent me until we get the result. With that said, we came out with payment plans which I'm still respecting as I write this review. Here is someone that did not know me from nowhere and forced herself to see me through. How much could I asked for from a lawyer? Cllr Routh is not only smart but she's the kind that in the future North Carolina will even look to for representation to cross that color lines in that state. I'm proud to say today that my choice of selecting this young lawyer to stand in court for me meant more then what I really pay for. She's actually one of the kinds that this country needs for this changing environment. All that I can say about Cllr Routh is thank you for being who you really are! Your parent brought forth a child that is color blind not only for the type of job she's doing but for the benefit of man kind! I will always recommend you to others that who are seeking for lawyer that's not only coming to get and go but one that will see your condition beyond your case!
