Kelly Chanfrau made me feel like a part of her family. She handled my case with the greatest of professionalism while making me feel as though I was her only client. She explained the technical, legal aspects of my case until I completely understood the process. Kelly prepared me not only for my own deposition but also for depositions of others. Kelly showed an amazing sense of humor, especially when the case became stressful. She always kept me informed about the status of my case and what was going to happen next. Kelly repeatedly told me that I was the one who was ultimately in charge of my case. She even gave me a cell phone number where I could reach her while she was ON VACATION!! Who does that for their clients? No other professional that I have had contact with or need for has ever gone to this extreme to be available to me. Kelly Chanfrau was and still is there for me. She has challenged the stereotype of the word, "lawyer", and has changed my perception of what a lawyer is and should be. She will always hold a very special place in my heart, as well as the hearts of my family members. I thank God that I was led to her when I had a legal need. She has blessed me and my family in a mighty way. I must also mention her staff members who reached out to me and were always quick to take my calls and extend a helping hand. In closing, I highly recommend Chanfrau & Chanfrau. Attorneys and Counselors at Law.

I was involved in an Employment Law suit that lasted over 3 years and it was against a very big company and everyone I knew told me to just let the issue go. I contacted Kelly Chanfrau and not only did she take my case, but she believed in me and let me know that every step of the way. There were no surprises during this evolution, Kelly kept me informed of all activity in this case. I felt like part of the legal team. Kelly never backed down or let that large corporation intimidate her. She believed in me, my case and was relentless in her pursuit of justice. Kelly sacrificed many hours, a lot of financial costs and time away from her family just to try this case. I will never be able to thank her, her staff and family for all that they did for me. We won the case, but of course the other side is appealing the decision, so we are far from being finished, yet Kelly keeps going like we just begun. She is in it until the end because someone has to speak for the wrongs in this world and I am thankful, It is Kelly who is doing just that. I would recommend her to everyone, her professionalism and integrity can not be beat. It has my privilege to not only have had Kelly represent me, but to know her as a human being. I wish she could teach a class on what she is about to all lawyers. Thank-you from the bottom of heart and for making a real difference in my life, my daughter's life and for all working women.

Kelly Chanfrau is the kindest most caring Attorney you will ever find! She took my case when other Attorneys had no interest at all! I recommend her to anyone needing this type of Attorney. She makes you feel important and along with herself the office staff really makes you feel right at home being a family owned Attorney is great! I was kept apprised every step of the way in my case and I always knew what was going on. Some Attorneys only want cases with big bucks but Kelly never hesitated to take me on even though it was not a real big case, it still mattered to her and like I told her, to me it was all about proving a point, its the principal people need to be held accountable for their actions! And in my case if I helped anyone to see that I have succeeded ! Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had her on my case but I know Kelly knows! Thanks again Kelly! I'm sure you realize who I am Kelly as my case just got resolved.

Kelly was extremely thoughtful and understanding and took the time to listen to my situation and to advise me as to the best course of action for me. She was concerned about my well being and made it very plain to me that she would represent me to the very best of her ability. I would recommend Kelly to anyone and reassure them that she could teach a class on professional ethics. She is dedicated to her profession and strives to change the way the general public feels about lawyers.
