Pros
1
Excellent and dedicated legal representation, with the lawyer going above and beyond for clients
“Hiring Mr. Kelly to represent me at obtaining my child's custody back was the best decision I've ever done in my life. We worked together for almost two years and not one single time I had communication issues, documents not being filed on time and his staff is extremely professional and helpful.”
2
Transparent and fair billing practices, with clear communication on costs and time spent
“He was also fair with me in the billing as his firm invoices were clear and accurately depicted his time spent on the file.”
3
Knowledgeable and competent in family law matters, especially custody disputes
“Gawayne and his legal team exceeded all my expectations. He was competent of the issues regarding timesharing disputes and knowledgeable of any respective procedural issues required to bring and address these legal issues before the judge.”
4
Provides calming guidance and manages client expectations throughout the legal process
“Gawayne provided me with a peace of mind during a traumatic divorce. Most lawyers see money and just settling without considering the customer; if there's children involved attorneys don't consider the affects... Mr. Kelly, seeks balance and knows how to break down the language of law for a clear understanding.”
5
Responsive and accessible to clients, with the lawyer and staff being readily available to address concerns
“He or assistant was always available to address any concerns and were always proactive in communicating with me about any open issues in advance of hearings.”
Cons
1
In rare cases, the lawyer may unexpectedly withdraw from a case close to a critical court date, causing significant delays and stress for the client
“Horrible lawyer.i had him retained for about 10 months. The biggest court date in my family case, that I waited 5 months to be scheduled, and be this crook tells me he if going to quit and will not to any more work on my case. This will delay me seeing my son until another court is scheduled about 5 months.”
