I could honestly say hiring Melissa Schroeder was the best decision I could have made! Not only is Melissa a genuine and caring person, she's an absolute beast in the courtroom. No matter what kind of questions and concerns i've had, Melissa has always gotten back with me to answer those questions in a timely manner. Not only do I absolutely adore Melissa Schroeder. She has an amazing staff and paralegal team standing behind her. I would definitely highly recommend Melissa Schroeder and the kelly law firm. I am very thankful and appreciative for everything you guys have done for me, Thank you.

Very solid work from Ms. Kelly-Schroeder and her legal team. The team was responsive and communicated well during the time they were retained. Ms. Kelly-Shroeder helped me navigate a very tough process with professionalism and grace.

Melissa Schroeder is unethical and lacks integrity.

Excellent lawyer. Highly recommend.

They just show up and agree with the court rules so they can get their money and this company too so they really never represent you just ask questions take your money and go base on what that court wants

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 cannot express how grateful I am to have had Melissa Kelly as my attorney. From our first conversation, I felt compassion and a true sense of security. Melissa agreed to take my difficult divorce case, after I was disappointed in my previous attorney. Melissa, Yvette and Katherine did an amazing job keeping me informed and preparing me for court. They were straight to the point and were very prompt in returning my emails and calls. I will forever be grateful for all of their time and hard work they put into my case. Without a doubt, I would recommend the Kelly Law Firm, L.L.C. to anyone in search of an outstanding attorney and team. Thank you!

Do NOT waste your money and time on Melissa. She is the most unprofessional person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. She raised my rates halfway through for no reason whatsoever and when I asked what caused the rate spike she took 3 months to respond and her answer was basically because I said so. She will take her sweet time to respond to your emails and she will be snarky and RUDE in her responses. Over the course of almost a year she didn’t send a single invoice and when I terminated her I somehow owed her money even though I had just made a sizable deposit 2 weeks prior. More importantly she seemed like she couldn’t care less about my case and went along with every single whim of the opposing counsel. Stay away from this person at all costs.

Melissa helped us during a very difficult time in our family. She supported us every step of the way and gave us expert advice throughout our ordeal. She was consistently available to answer our questions and give us support. She is professional and also makes you feel like part of the family. Melissa is our first point of contact when we ever need legal advice or representation.

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
