When looking for a lawyer, what made Kelly stand out immediately was her responsiveness, her compassion, her extensive as well as intensive knowledge and experience and her positive "We'll get this done!" attitude. She brought remarkable brilliance, integrity, strategy and passion to every aspect of the process. The value of Kelly's guidance and investment in advocating on our behalf cannot be overstated!

Ms. Wiley was my attorney through a legally, and financially complex divorce that included a trial and extensive post-trial litigation because of my exe's unwillingness to follow court orders. This process was further complicated because my ex rotated between a handful of attorneys and representing himself pro se. Kelly constantly reminds me to look at the big picture, and takes the time to explain the pros or cons of filing the various motions we've had to file over the last three years, so that I could understand, and decide when action, and when inaction was the best thing in the long run. This has saved me thousands of dollars in legal fees, and reduced stress from needless arguments. I would definitely recommend Ms. Wiley to any person going through a divorce.

I highly recommend Kelly. She helped me through a very complicated divorce. She is whip smart, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with during difficult circumstances.

Kelly worked for me to help regain custody of my kids, and negotiate my divorce. Kelly was both compassionate and strong during a difficult time where I had a lot of false accusations hurled my way. She stayed calm, and helped me find the space to stand up for myself. Kelly also knew when to go on the offensive, and in the end it worked.

Kelly represented me when I was going through my divorce. Not only was she professional and knowledgeable but she really listened to the questions I had about custody arrangements. In particular she helped me to act with the best interests of my chlildren without compromising the outcome of my settlement.

I am a public school teacher who was accused by my ex of things that not only would have kept my children from me but probably would have affected my ability to work in education. I am now the primary parent, with the majority of custodial time and full decision making. Ms. Wiley turned back a well planned and well organized manufactured story and by tearing it apart, showed the other side to be completely without credibility. Ms. Wiley saw through these accusations with clarity, enabled by a startlingly precise memory for detail so when we did go to court, she was able to ask precise questions that efficiently tore apart these claims. By the end of our time in court, the opposing attorney was clearly baffled, being so badly beaten by this specific memory and from it, a very clear presentation of what possibly could have occurred. In the end, the opposing counsel was fumbling over her words and asking questions in cross examination that we were wanting to ask in redirect. Throughout the process, when at times I started to become overwhelmed by the process, embarrassed by the association of such accusations, Ms. Wiley stayed calm, always reassuring me that "the truth speaks the loudest" and that "your true friends will know the truth and not to pay attention to the others". She really was a true lifesaver. She dismissed a story that would have ruined me and kept me sane in the process. I am forever grateful to her. Truly a great attorney. And an even better person.

She was hired by my now ex-wife. She tried her hardest to paint me as an abusive husband...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion; She attempted to get a lopsided temporary parenting plan that deviated from an existing parenting plan...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion. Upon showing up to court for a contempt hearing that she initiated she forgot to file our appearance with the court. All parties were sent home and the case was struck from the calendar, costing us all precious time and money. She told the court that I didn't want to mediate, which wasn't true and was subsequently informed of Washington State Law by the court assistant. The mediation took place One year later and now we have the EXACT same parenting plan, the EXACT same terms and conditions, and Zero money for her client. However she did make over $10,000 from our family during this already hard and trying time. As a self-defending, attorney-less father against an (experienced?) attorney in open court for FIVE appearances, i would sum my experience up as being thankful, for I was against her and not another more qualified attorney.

Kelly represented my ex-wife in a separation. I wanted to negotiate and settle out of court, but according to my first attorney, Kelly was very combative and difficult to work with, so I hired a different attorney, hoping to placate her. The second attorney also said she was impossible to work with, unwilling to give anything in negotiations and seeming to pick fights at every opportunity. We ended up in court. At trial, one of my witnesses described Kelly as an "ineffective bulldog"- trying to be aggressive and tough, but failing to score points or impress the judge and in stead looking unreasonable and unnecessarily argumentative. She kept focusing on specific allegations and financial details, even after the judge said repeatedly that he had heard enough on these subjects. She had countless Zoom problems that made her look, frankly, incompetent. She made it a point to not agree to almost every small detail or proceeding that would expedite the case, racking up billable hours by prolonging the process, but visibly annoying the judge. When the ruling went against her and my ex, she attempted to re-write the judge's ruling, to no effect. Overall, I am simultaneously happy and annoyed that my ex-wife went with Kelly. Happy because I won the case, and I think Kelly's incompetence contributed to that win. But annoyed because had my ex selected a better attorney that would de-escalate conflict and work collaboratively, we may have avoided at least some of the immense stress, cost, and long-term emotional damage of the trial. A hyper-aggressive attorney is not always best when you will need to co-parent with your ex for many years to come.

she lacked basic strategy for my divorce proceedings. Turns out Kelly only has 1 year handling Divorce cases.

When looking for a lawyer, what made Kelly stand out immediately was her responsiveness, her compassion, her extensive as well as intensive knowledge and experience and her positive "We'll get this done!" attitude. She brought remarkable brilliance, integrity, strategy and passion to every aspect of the process. The value of Kelly's guidance and investment in advocating on our behalf cannot be overstated!

Ms. Wiley was my attorney through a legally, and financially complex divorce that included a trial and extensive post-trial litigation because of my exe's unwillingness to follow court orders. This process was further complicated because my ex rotated between a handful of attorneys and representing himself pro se. Kelly constantly reminds me to look at the big picture, and takes the time to explain the pros or cons of filing the various motions we've had to file over the last three years, so that I could understand, and decide when action, and when inaction was the best thing in the long run. This has saved me thousands of dollars in legal fees, and reduced stress from needless arguments. I would definitely recommend Ms. Wiley to any person going through a divorce.

I highly recommend Kelly. She helped me through a very complicated divorce. She is whip smart, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with during difficult circumstances.

Kelly worked for me to help regain custody of my kids, and negotiate my divorce. Kelly was both compassionate and strong during a difficult time where I had a lot of false accusations hurled my way. She stayed calm, and helped me find the space to stand up for myself. Kelly also knew when to go on the offensive, and in the end it worked.

Kelly represented me when I was going through my divorce. Not only was she professional and knowledgeable but she really listened to the questions I had about custody arrangements. In particular she helped me to act with the best interests of my chlildren without compromising the outcome of my settlement.

I am a public school teacher who was accused by my ex of things that not only would have kept my children from me but probably would have affected my ability to work in education. I am now the primary parent, with the majority of custodial time and full decision making. Ms. Wiley turned back a well planned and well organized manufactured story and by tearing it apart, showed the other side to be completely without credibility. Ms. Wiley saw through these accusations with clarity, enabled by a startlingly precise memory for detail so when we did go to court, she was able to ask precise questions that efficiently tore apart these claims. By the end of our time in court, the opposing attorney was clearly baffled, being so badly beaten by this specific memory and from it, a very clear presentation of what possibly could have occurred. In the end, the opposing counsel was fumbling over her words and asking questions in cross examination that we were wanting to ask in redirect. Throughout the process, when at times I started to become overwhelmed by the process, embarrassed by the association of such accusations, Ms. Wiley stayed calm, always reassuring me that "the truth speaks the loudest" and that "your true friends will know the truth and not to pay attention to the others". She really was a true lifesaver. She dismissed a story that would have ruined me and kept me sane in the process. I am forever grateful to her. Truly a great attorney. And an even better person.

She was hired by my now ex-wife. She tried her hardest to paint me as an abusive husband...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion; She attempted to get a lopsided temporary parenting plan that deviated from an existing parenting plan...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion. Upon showing up to court for a contempt hearing that she initiated she forgot to file our appearance with the court. All parties were sent home and the case was struck from the calendar, costing us all precious time and money. She told the court that I didn't want to mediate, which wasn't true and was subsequently informed of Washington State Law by the court assistant. The mediation took place One year later and now we have the EXACT same parenting plan, the EXACT same terms and conditions, and Zero money for her client. However she did make over $10,000 from our family during this already hard and trying time. As a self-defending, attorney-less father against an (experienced?) attorney in open court for FIVE appearances, i would sum my experience up as being thankful, for I was against her and not another more qualified attorney.

Kelly represented my ex-wife in a separation. I wanted to negotiate and settle out of court, but according to my first attorney, Kelly was very combative and difficult to work with, so I hired a different attorney, hoping to placate her. The second attorney also said she was impossible to work with, unwilling to give anything in negotiations and seeming to pick fights at every opportunity. We ended up in court. At trial, one of my witnesses described Kelly as an "ineffective bulldog"- trying to be aggressive and tough, but failing to score points or impress the judge and in stead looking unreasonable and unnecessarily argumentative. She kept focusing on specific allegations and financial details, even after the judge said repeatedly that he had heard enough on these subjects. She had countless Zoom problems that made her look, frankly, incompetent. She made it a point to not agree to almost every small detail or proceeding that would expedite the case, racking up billable hours by prolonging the process, but visibly annoying the judge. When the ruling went against her and my ex, she attempted to re-write the judge's ruling, to no effect. Overall, I am simultaneously happy and annoyed that my ex-wife went with Kelly. Happy because I won the case, and I think Kelly's incompetence contributed to that win. But annoyed because had my ex selected a better attorney that would de-escalate conflict and work collaboratively, we may have avoided at least some of the immense stress, cost, and long-term emotional damage of the trial. A hyper-aggressive attorney is not always best when you will need to co-parent with your ex for many years to come.

she lacked basic strategy for my divorce proceedings. Turns out Kelly only has 1 year handling Divorce cases.

When looking for a lawyer, what made Kelly stand out immediately was her responsiveness, her compassion, her extensive as well as intensive knowledge and experience and her positive "We'll get this done!" attitude. She brought remarkable brilliance, integrity, strategy and passion to every aspect of the process. The value of Kelly's guidance and investment in advocating on our behalf cannot be overstated!

Ms. Wiley was my attorney through a legally, and financially complex divorce that included a trial and extensive post-trial litigation because of my exe's unwillingness to follow court orders. This process was further complicated because my ex rotated between a handful of attorneys and representing himself pro se. Kelly constantly reminds me to look at the big picture, and takes the time to explain the pros or cons of filing the various motions we've had to file over the last three years, so that I could understand, and decide when action, and when inaction was the best thing in the long run. This has saved me thousands of dollars in legal fees, and reduced stress from needless arguments. I would definitely recommend Ms. Wiley to any person going through a divorce.

I highly recommend Kelly. She helped me through a very complicated divorce. She is whip smart, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with during difficult circumstances.

Kelly worked for me to help regain custody of my kids, and negotiate my divorce. Kelly was both compassionate and strong during a difficult time where I had a lot of false accusations hurled my way. She stayed calm, and helped me find the space to stand up for myself. Kelly also knew when to go on the offensive, and in the end it worked.

Kelly represented me when I was going through my divorce. Not only was she professional and knowledgeable but she really listened to the questions I had about custody arrangements. In particular she helped me to act with the best interests of my chlildren without compromising the outcome of my settlement.

I am a public school teacher who was accused by my ex of things that not only would have kept my children from me but probably would have affected my ability to work in education. I am now the primary parent, with the majority of custodial time and full decision making. Ms. Wiley turned back a well planned and well organized manufactured story and by tearing it apart, showed the other side to be completely without credibility. Ms. Wiley saw through these accusations with clarity, enabled by a startlingly precise memory for detail so when we did go to court, she was able to ask precise questions that efficiently tore apart these claims. By the end of our time in court, the opposing attorney was clearly baffled, being so badly beaten by this specific memory and from it, a very clear presentation of what possibly could have occurred. In the end, the opposing counsel was fumbling over her words and asking questions in cross examination that we were wanting to ask in redirect. Throughout the process, when at times I started to become overwhelmed by the process, embarrassed by the association of such accusations, Ms. Wiley stayed calm, always reassuring me that "the truth speaks the loudest" and that "your true friends will know the truth and not to pay attention to the others". She really was a true lifesaver. She dismissed a story that would have ruined me and kept me sane in the process. I am forever grateful to her. Truly a great attorney. And an even better person.

She was hired by my now ex-wife. She tried her hardest to paint me as an abusive husband...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion; She attempted to get a lopsided temporary parenting plan that deviated from an existing parenting plan...The judge(s) disagreed with her and denied her motion. Upon showing up to court for a contempt hearing that she initiated she forgot to file our appearance with the court. All parties were sent home and the case was struck from the calendar, costing us all precious time and money. She told the court that I didn't want to mediate, which wasn't true and was subsequently informed of Washington State Law by the court assistant. The mediation took place One year later and now we have the EXACT same parenting plan, the EXACT same terms and conditions, and Zero money for her client. However she did make over $10,000 from our family during this already hard and trying time. As a self-defending, attorney-less father against an (experienced?) attorney in open court for FIVE appearances, i would sum my experience up as being thankful, for I was against her and not another more qualified attorney.

Kelly represented my ex-wife in a separation. I wanted to negotiate and settle out of court, but according to my first attorney, Kelly was very combative and difficult to work with, so I hired a different attorney, hoping to placate her. The second attorney also said she was impossible to work with, unwilling to give anything in negotiations and seeming to pick fights at every opportunity. We ended up in court. At trial, one of my witnesses described Kelly as an "ineffective bulldog"- trying to be aggressive and tough, but failing to score points or impress the judge and in stead looking unreasonable and unnecessarily argumentative. She kept focusing on specific allegations and financial details, even after the judge said repeatedly that he had heard enough on these subjects. She had countless Zoom problems that made her look, frankly, incompetent. She made it a point to not agree to almost every small detail or proceeding that would expedite the case, racking up billable hours by prolonging the process, but visibly annoying the judge. When the ruling went against her and my ex, she attempted to re-write the judge's ruling, to no effect. Overall, I am simultaneously happy and annoyed that my ex-wife went with Kelly. Happy because I won the case, and I think Kelly's incompetence contributed to that win. But annoyed because had my ex selected a better attorney that would de-escalate conflict and work collaboratively, we may have avoided at least some of the immense stress, cost, and long-term emotional damage of the trial.
