When I hired Kelly in early 2018, my life had collapsed. I am an active duty military officer and while I was out of town for a few months in Alabama, out of nowhere my wife at the time filed Domestic and Child Abuse charges against me. I hadn’t seen her or my daughter in over a month, and all of a sudden there were restraining orders against me and I was under several investigations. She was trying to get my daughter taken from me and destroy my career and life and put me behind bars. As the military investigation concluded, the investigators began to realize that it was all a hoax, and that she was lying about a number of things. The day they cleared me was the day I found out that she was having an affair with one of her students married parents who also was a fugitive from the law. I spoke with lawyers in the military and they recommended that I hire Kelly. Kelly defended me from her bogus allegations and once we discovered the affair, we immediately filed for divorce and custody. My time in Alabama was up, and I had to move to Texas, but she still wouldn’t let me see our daughter as she was keeping her in Nebraska. It took almost 4 months, but with Kelly’s help, we proved that my ex was lying. I got my daughter 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. For the next year, I travelled tens of thousands of miles between Texas and Nebraska to get my daughter and bring her back. It was said that what I was doing as a military parent was impossible. That I could never win this case, do all this travel and get custody. As our trial began I moved to California. At trial, Kelly demolished the opposing counsel's arguments. He surgically attacked my ex and exposed her for the incredibly dangerous person she is to everyone around her, but most importantly our daughter. He also used one of his other landmark case law cases and Nebraska law to debunk her and her attorney’s attacks on the military. Kelly proved at Court that military parents deserve to be treated fairly under the law, and the state of Nebraska listened. 6 months later, the decree was issued. We won. My daughter was coming to California full time. My ex immediately filed multiple challenges. Kelly beat her every time. She filed an Appeal with the state. Kelly beat her and her new high powered attorney. It has been a long and grueling 3 years, but having Kelly in my corner saved me and most importantly, my daughter. Since this happened, my ex has been arrested and continued to engage in dangerous behavior. I can’t imagine where we would be without him and his team. I know a lot of this sounds mushy, but it is all true. My case was a nightmare that unfortunately had many dark and sad turns. Kelly navigated me through the worst time in my life, and he brought my daughter home to me. If you are military, please know that Kelly now has won 2 major cases in support of military members at the state level! He knows what he’s doing and he wants to help us and he’s proven that he can. Don’t give up just because you’re military! Call Kelly and ask him about the cases he’s won for us. You’re not alone, we’ve fought, and Kelly will help you fight!

After retaining a different lawyer who mishandled my case, I retained Kelly and he was able to rectify the situation. I have used him as my attorney for 7 years now for different issues that have arisen in my very ugly and complicated divorce. The process was difficult but Kelly never sugar coated anything and ensured I knew the realistic outcomes. We achieved each one in court. Although his rates increased, his ability to handle my case made me confident that is was money well spent.

I hired Kelly Shattuck to handle my divorce and I was requesting to move out of the state of Nebraska with my kids. I had interviewed several other attorneys before deciding upon Kelly because I felt he knew the low and provided a road map of exactly what needed to be done in my case to be successful. He did not sugar coat the process to get my business like a few of the other attorneys did I had interviewed and that impressed me. He always kept me informed of the developments in my case and he did what he said he was going to do. The process was not quick as we went through extensive discovery, but there was a purpose to everything. I was equally impressed with his staff who were genuinely interested in my case and my success. Mr. Shattuck and his staff had me and my witnesses prepared for trial along with all the necessary documents. He was very professional and I can't say enough how impressed I was at trial. I would highly recommend Mr. Shattuck and his firm to anyone going through a divorce or other family law matter.

I strongly recommend Mr Kelly Shattuck. He is very professional and an outstanding attorney and helped me with a complicated legal problem. He was always just a click away, and was always available via internet and phone calls.. I lived in the West Coast, and he was able to complete my case with great results and I didn’t have to return to Nebraska once.

Kelly represented my son in a recent case. He was very professional and on the day of trial, he covered every aspect of the case in order for the judge to have a clear understanding of everything that had gone on. I was very impressed and I would not hesitate to hire him for myself if I ever need representation. Highly recommend.

I could not be more pleased with the level of service and professionalism I received from Kelly Shattuck. This is the 2nd time I’ve had to use his services and I have not been let down. Kelly is thorough, professional and knows what he’s doing! In the court room, he is exact, to the point and gets the job done. I hope I never have to talk to him again (haha) but should I need an attorney, he is my first call. Thank you Kelly!

I had to utilize Kelly’s services twice in the past few years; Once for a divorce and once for a modification. I had a positive and successful experience with both. Kelly was able to guide me through the process both times and was not only receptive to what my end goals were, but ultimately achieved those goals for me in both instances. He is an extremely capable and competent attorney, and while I hope to never need his services again, should a situation arise, I would hire him again without a second thought.

Kelly currently represents me for a custody case regarding my children - due to the nature of the case and it not being finalized yet, I'm not going to comment about it, what I can say about Kelly is that he continues to be veracious in court and a isn't afraid to back down from a fight. He's determined to win the right way and ensuring the client's interests are being looked out for. I would strongly recommend Kelly to any of my friends or, strangers, going through custody battle as this isn't his first rodeo. Kelly has continued going to bat for me and winning the small "battles" hearings that we've attended thus far until we get to court. If you're looking for a strong family practice/divorce/custody attorney Vacanti/Shattuck is the firm you should be contacting. Vacanti Shattuck are the kinds of attorney's you want to have around but never need to use, rather than not having them and really needing them. If you have any kind of issues that are going on don't hesitate to contact Vacanti Shattuck - they will fight for you, as they've continued fighting for me
