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.

Skilled, knowledgeable and professional

Kelly is a fantastic attorney to have on your side. I was going through a messy divorce with children and advised to hire legal representation early on in the process. She explained the process clearly, advised appropriately, followed through with my wishes and most importantly, allowed me to focus o...n my children and myself while she took care of the legal aspects. One way to put it is, she became the buffer between me and my spouse/his attorney. Another way to say the same thing is, Kelly gave me my life back. I don't know what I would have done without her expertise and understanding through a very stressful time in my life.

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!

Such a wonderful attorney!

I found myself in a position no one would want to be in: My ex-wife was not letting me spend time with our son for our scheduled visitation periods. Unfortunately, I was unable to resolve it directly with her and found myself in need of an attorney. Luckily, I found Kelly Staples! Ms Staple was an... amazing attorney to work with: She carefully listened to my situation, showed incredible empathy, and clearly laid out my legal options. I made my choice and engaged Ms Staples. Long story short- with Ms Staples help, I was able to secure compensatory time for all of the parenting time I missed out on and my ex-wife is once again adhering to our parenting agreement. Her fees were very reasonable and the quality of her work was amazing! Ms Staples has checked in with me a few times since winning our case— just to check in and ensure things were still running smoothly. I will definitely use Ms Staples for any and all legal help I may need in the future.
