Attorney Kelly far exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond in fighting to make sure we got the results that we were looking for. Her attention to detail and professionalism is first class. Once you speak to her you will know she'll get the job done for you.

Attorney Kelly was a true professional and was very attentive and compassionate to my legal concerns. She also provided quick and prompt responses to my calls and emails. Highly recommend for your legal needs.

Attorney Kelly helped me recover nearly two years of child support payments plus my legal fees from my ex-spouse. I was not only happy with the outcome, but also with the professionalism of both the attorney and her staff. Despite going through a stressful legal process I always felt confident in knowing that I had an excellent lawyer on my side with Attorney Kelly.

Kate's skillset as a family law attorney can be summarized in one word: unparallelled. She is the third attorney we have hired for our case involving custody, parenting time, and support, and she is the first to get the results we desperately needed. We new from our initial phone consultation that Kate was the right person for the job and after meeting her in person, providing her all of the pertinent details, she crafted a strategy and hit the ground running. She has constantly kept us apprised of what is happening with the case, explains her rationale for every motion she files, and at the end of the day, we feel like we have a member of our own family fighting for us in the court room. Kate solely practices family law and it shows. Her passion, integrity, and the pride she takes in getting results for her clients makes her an all-star. If you are looking for an empathetic, trustworthy attorney who has the intelligence and courage to argue effectively and relentlessly on your behalf, then do not hesitate to hire her.

I contacted Attorney Kelly when I was in MA on vacation and learned I had been sued by a family member. I called Attorney Kelly in the hope that she would represent me in my civil matter. She informed me that she solely practiced family law, but she took the time out of her day to provide me with referrals and even personally reached out to some of her colleagues in an effort to help me. She was the FIRST attorney out of many that even answered my call. Not only did she listen to my issue, she offer to help find someone to represent me and even followed up later that evening via text to ensure I had retained an attorney to represent me. Attorney Kelly was not getting paid to help me, yet she helped me and treated me as if I were a client. I wanted to share my experience as I believe Attorney Kelly went above and beyond for me and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

I've had an ongoing case, unfortunately, after my divorce, including modifications and contempt orders. I had tried to deal with this with two former lawyers. Attorney Kelly has been, like I said, "absolutely incredibe". She is the first legal counsel I have dealt with that deals with me personally on every aspect of my case. She studied my past, my kids' past, and I know she cares deeply for our best interests. She is a total tiger when it comes to fighting for us and I cannot have wished for anyone better to trust with our futures. She is, beyond words, the best of the best!!!

I had a consult with Attorney Kelly and she really listened to my issues and concerns. She was very professional and presents herself very well! I recommend her if you are looking for help! When I go to court I want her to represent me because I’m confident in her.

Those who go up against her in court have learned the hard way that Katharine Kelly “is a forced to be reckoned with.” She combines her keen intelligence, a thorough knowledge of the law, and razor-sharp strategic skills with impeccable manners, composure and compassion. Katharine has truly helped our family transition through this time and into our new future, thankful to know we’ve found a law firm that shows care and concern for the individuals and not the bottom line.

I consulted Katharine on a situation that was starting to bubble out of control and she gave me sound advice. Her emotional intelligence is a key factor to her success. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a family attorney. She gets it done.

Attorney Kelly took the time to really listen to the issues surrounding my divorce when other attorneys had not. She was tough in court and settlement negotiations and gave me all of the information necessary to make an informed decision on how I wanted to proceed. I think Attorney Kelly was able to understand my situation more than anyone else in my life and she was there for me even after my case had settled. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce attorney!
