The Kelly Law Firm, L.L.C.

Melissa and her team were fantastic during my divorce case. From the first call Melissa and I had she was nothing but patient, professional, and straightforward. She took additional time to explain and clarify things for me and what to expect from the process she truly wants what is in the best interest of her clients. Melissa, Yvette, and Katherine were prompt in their responses and kept me informed every step of the way. I am grateful to have had their guidance and support throughout the entire process.

I put my trust into Melissa as a family recommendation, I work for a litigation law Firm and could have used several recommendations from there but chose to stick with my family recommendation. You will see several 5 star reviews and several 1 star reviews. I do think it is human to blame your attorney for a result they didn't like even if they did everything in their power. I was in a very dark period in life and really needed help, I had no idea what to expect or even what to do. Melissa never really explained anything to me, only the result after it was too late. She gave me an estimated cost at the start of the matter and even though I can account for some of the hours over what was estimated due to personal mistakes it was way over what I was told. Her communication was very poor to the point even after thousands of dollars were spent I had to give up everything in my divorce matter to resolve and move on. At the end when I dictated the terms to her, I asked her to spend a fixed amount of time on the finalization and no more, she still didn't listen to me not only claimed to spend more time on the matter but then had the audacity to request more money after she was given more retainer and asked to not go over that in a matter where I gave up everything due to her lack of communication, slow response or handling other clients. I do think she is a good attorney, know the laws and how to enforce them in a court of law, her office does has a very kind paralegal that explained more to me than she did. As I was told after her withdraw, Attorneys don't like to sue other attorneys. I found several billing errors, her office calculated the CSW incorrectly costing me even more $$$. but was told I would be better off eating the cost. I have since represented myself, I was able to go back to court and gain 50/50 of my kids. I am preparing to file a redistribution of assets in my matter on my own. Melissa is aware that I was an unhappy client and to this day she has not reached out to make things rights November 2023 Edit- you will notice a very vague response below.........the result doesn't change, her office calculated the child support worksheet wrong several times, I was able to prove by using thr Kansas Bradley software to verify this, the court trustee told me the same, was too busy with other clients or whatever, had several billing errors and flat out didnt do what I asked, then charged me for services I didn't request.....told me a QDRO was too hard and ended up doing it myself in 30 minutes amd was accepted...I now have 50/50, just got out of court for splitting direct expenses....I did it all myself pro se, there is a you tube channel that tells you how Even with the response below, Melissa still to this day has not reach out and asked to make it right or even apologize...this alone should speak volumes. Choose wisely folks

Melissa is not a lawyer that you want to represent you. She talks a good game during initial consultation, but once you hire her she sides with the other party and gives into their every demand. She does not fight for you or care about what you want. She cares more about pleasing the other side. She's in it for the money. She will charge you THOUSANDS of dollars for emails. She will wait until after your retainer has exhausted AND you've used up another $1,000+ until she sends a bill demanding more money. She is a snake. I should've listened to other reviews and had I done that I never would've hired her. I wasted $5,000 on her when after firing her I did better representing myself. So unless you are rich and have lots and lots of money to burn I recommend you find another attorney and do your research before hiring them.
