THANK YOU

I can't praise Kelly enough for the great work she did for me and two kids who I love. She came onto my case after I had to dismiss my first attorney, was positive from the beginning, and completed my case in a short amount of time. She's kind, intelligent, cares deeply for her clients and the work... she does for us, and I am so grateful that she was recommended to me by another of her client's who rightfully praised her to me. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with a family issue. Thank you, Kelly, from me and the kids!

A big help

Kelly listened to our needs and concerns, and worked with us proactively to come to the best possible resolution of our legal needs. She identified opportunities to streamline the process and avoid the legal system - which ultimately meant that her additional work (and her fees) would be less than th...ey otherwise would have been. She checked in with us along the way to assure all our questions were addressed and make sure things were going as planned. We were really satisfied with Kelly's approach, her demeanor, and her outcomes.

Compassionate, Professional, and Extremely Knowledgeable

Kelly Staples is an excellent lawyer who helped me and my daughter through several scary and difficult situations with my ex-husband. She provided me with timely advice and support over a long period of time and was ready to act quickly when I needed legal action in an urgent situation. She is smart,... kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and tough as nails when she needs to be. She looks out for the best interests of the children and the family as a whole and stays with you for as long as needed. I would highly recommend Kelly Staples to any friend or family member in need of a great family lawyer.

Wonderful Family Law Attorney

Kelly helped my family with a difficult and frusterating custody matter. Kelly skillfully and tactfully helped us reach a fair agreement despite the other parties' lawyer's attempts to delay and stall mediation. We were impressed with Kelly's professionalism, prompt responses and ability to artic...ulate effectively. We feel very lucky to have found her!

Incredible lawyer!

I hired Kelly to represent me in my divorce, which was a very complicated case. I’m so thankful I went with her! She was calm, patient and extremely helpful anytime I needed my questions answered she was available. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and educated. I can’t imagine... going through this case with anyone else!

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
