Best attorney in Charlotte

Amazing! 5 stars is not enough to describe the professionalism, knowledge and determination of Kelly and Brittany. Kelly agreed to take my case after I was run around for 15 months by another Charlotte attorney. I explained my situation and my frustration and Kelly took my case as if she was there ...from day one. Her knowledge and experience gave her the upper hand and finished my case in just a few months. Without Kelly I don’t know where my case would be right now. I do know that I went from paying $1750 per month to $750! Kelly is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is the best attorney in Charlotte.

Awesome Lawyer

Kelly Routh is an outstanding family law attorney. She represented me for child custody and child support and we received the best results possible. She is very professional, easy to work, and easy to get in touch with. I have used previous lawyers in the past where this was not the case. She is a ve...ry good listener and a firecracker in the courtroom. Most importantly she knows what to do to get you what you want. All you have to do is follow her advice. I highly recommend her!

Facts are facts, Kelly is THE attorney you want on your side.

Kelly Routh became my lawyer after months of being in the legal hands of another who had completely mishandled the rights and concerns of myself and my child during a separation with an abusive man who with the continued assistance of his counsel was fixed and intent on delaying and obscuring facts t...o handicap the court in making proper findings of financials. As a result of long ,and ongoing delay, refusal of discovery, and misrepresentation of financials, my daughter and myself' s financial welfare had been seriously prejudiced. Results of these tactics: near financial ruin, relentless stress and anxiety, hours of sleepless nights trying to figure out the financial mess and web of deceit the ex and his counsel created thereby defining my case as surely a challenge to say the very least. Kelly accepted my case without knowing then the full magnitude that would unfold. Time and again and since, Kelly throughout this ordeal responded to my requests for help as the opposing side continued to embark with legal maneuvering with no other design but to intimidate. Kelly assured me that the facts would surface and as such that she would see to it that proper legal accommodations would follow. Over and over I’ve been the receiver of a man and his counsel’s intent to scorch the earth and ultimately destroy while I only sought and continue to unearth what is fact. Time had passed and Kelly was still ready and willing to pull back each layer of contrived deceit I and therefore my daughter had been issued. A practitioner such as this you’ll want to have. Her communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which made it easy and efficient to do business with. She was encouraging with her advice while still being respectful of my wishes. She is one who provides continuity and stands by you in each of your darkest hours no matter what the opposing side says or fabricates. Facts are facts ,and they do surface just as Kelly assured. Alternatively if you’re thinking about hiding the facts no matter how slick or well connected you think your legal representative is, you’d better hope your opposition doesn’t have Kelly Routh because she’s in it for the long haul.

Advocate for her client!

Kelly Routh is prepared, experienced, and fast-acting. She anticipated roadblocks and difficulties we might encounter and prepared case law and other documents to overcome those difficulties. Kelly always advocated for my well-being. Kelly worked hard on my case and the results were fantastic.

review of K. Routh

Was very helpful, gave me the facts of the law. Called back when needed, was willing to talk to other attorney rather than take everything to court which was helpful.
