Ms. Mitchell and her staff are nothing short of amazing. They are hard working, detailed oriented and out of the box thinkers which goes a long way in family law, especially when dealing with less than cooperative individuals on the other side. Ms. Mitchell strives to provide her clients with the best service and does so with such grace. You can’t go wrong hiring Ms. Mitchell to represent you, even in the most complicated case.

From day one Kelli listened to my needs. She was easy to talk with, trustworthy and quick to respond. Her professionalism and expertise made an unpleasant life event much easier to handle. I would highly recommend Kelli to anyone that finds themselves in need of family law.

Unfortunately, this wasn't my first divorce. After having experience navigating divorce attorneys, I can promise you that you wont find anyone better. Extremely professional and organized. Aggressive, but sensitive. Her knowledge and understanding of different options made my process so smooth. I am thankful that she was on my side.

I was out of state for the vast majority of the duration of my case and Kelli always kept me informed and comfortable with what was going on in my case. She was very successful helping me settle and I would recommend her to any friend or family needing a professional yet fierce attorney that will get it done!

Kelli Mitchell is an intelligent, extremely competent attorney with a heart. Our case is out of county and difficult. We were referred to Kelli by an attorney we knew that had been up against Kelli in a court case. The referring attorney was impressed by Kelli’s preparation and performance, as well as her consideration and concern for her client. We found this to be true. We have laughed and cried together and are thankful for the victories Kelli has fought for and won. All of this and an animal lover too! Kelli Mitchell should be YOUR Family Law champion.

Kelli Mitchell was a light of hope for me and my family. I filed for divorce, due to same sex marriage being a new territory specially when it involves parental rights from the non-biological parent I knew I had a unique case. Kelli gave me the strength that I needed through her knowledge and passion for the law. I was requesting parental rights at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed difficult . Not only was she able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care most about. I am eternally grateful for her service and recommend her entirely.

Kelli L. Mitchell, was the most compassionate attorney I've met. I was dealing with a very time sensitive, very personal matter. She went above, and beyond to make sure I was at ease. I was well prepared for my court hearing. She made my situation feel as though it was of the utmost importance to her as well. Kelli, also was informative, kind, and very knowledgeable about my situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for an attorney with a thorough knowledge of the law, and compassion for her clients. Again, I can not thank her enough for the effort, and time she spent with me. She truly is a blessing to those in need of honest representation.

Kelli is an outstanding advocate...she listens carefully, gathers facts and then works with her clients to develop an aggressive strategy. She is bright and knowledgeable and is able to navigate across complicated circumstances and multiple jurisdictions, including state lines, to find solutions. She will be painfully honest about risks and amazingly sensitive and compassionate about the emotional impact of child custody cases. After having to terminate our previous attorney for worrying more about not making a judge angry than presenting the facts of the case, Kelli came into our lives and everything changed. Hiring Kelli was the best decision our family ever made. She successfully represented us and we achieved our desired outcome. She was always open to finding a compromise but ready to be tough and we always felt that she was in our corner, responding quickly to our questions and giving 100% for every minor and every major issue raised. She is truly one of a kind and we were blessed to have Kelli represent us. I highly endorse and recommend her.

I wanted someone that I could trust had my best interests at heart, but whom also possessed a high degree of technical skill. Having known Kelli for nearly two decades in a social capacity, she was naturally my first appointment, but also wound up being my last appointment. Consultation felt more like therapy. She helped me understand where I was and what the road ahead would look like, both with personal compassion and a depth of technical knowledge I could not comprehend at the time. Through the process, I learned that I also needed council who could protect me from making emotionally charged bad decisions. Kelli always listens, always compromises, but most importantly, always stands her ground when she feels strongly about an issue. She is a true client advocate in every sense of the word. Kelli is motivated to help parties find a reasonable resolution, while vigorously representing client interests and working diligently to avoid litigation when possible. These qualities transfer from client to opposing council as well. She is compromising, but firm on behalf of her clients, never allowing opposing council to veer off course. I highly recommend Kelli and I send her client referrals regularly.

Quite simply, choosing Kelli as an advocate ended up being one of the most important decisions my family ever made. My case was rather unique and involved multiple states and jurisdictions. That bringing a whole new set of challenges to the case. Kelli was a dedicated and tireless support system and never once made me feel unprotected, even from a thousand miles away. I would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer for divorce or child custody. She worked miracles for my son and I, and words can't describe how grateful we are. I worked with 3 other attorneys at 3 different firms prior to finding her. It's true, the best was saved for last.
