Kelly and her staff did a masterful job handling my divorce. I searched the internet for an attorney as soon as I was served the papers and decided on Kelly’s group after viewing her webpage. It was very impressive and had a fair amount of useful information delivered with compassion and warmth. I felt that I would be taken care of and they proved me right. Everyone was prompt, attentive and professional. It was comforting to know that they were all looking out for my best interest and did they deliver! I am totally satisfied with how things turned out and I would highly recommend Kelly’s services.
Kelly provided invaluable guidance through my divorce. She recommended our mediator which we both liked and reviewed and modified our settlement judgement, (several times - it took a while). She was always prompt to respond to my concerns and questions even during the pandemic. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
Kelly Chang has been a God-sent in my divorce case. At the first, I was hesitant to hire an attorney because I did not want to come out of the divorce completely broke. From out first consultation, I immediately felt that Kelly would be the best person to represent me. Her professionalism did not take anything away from her nurturing ways. No action was ever taken without her first discussing it with me. I received consistent updates on my case, and not once did she put money before my well-being and that of my son. She regularly inquired about my son to make sure he was doing fine during those difficult times. One evening, when I was feeling quite depressed about the impact the divorce was having on my child, imagine that Kelly spent hours communicating with me, giving me advice and lifting me up. I will never forget my experience with Kelly who made me feel like I was not alone in this divorce. I felt protected but also vindicated when she piled up victory after victory in my case. She fights like a bull, but she does it with grace, confidence, and fairness. I was lucky to have her in my corner!
Kelly helped me with my prenup. She made the process so easy and smooth and thats all we wanted. She recommended a lawyer for my fiance and that made the process so much easier. She gave me tips and helped me answer all the questions I had along the way. I would definitely recommend her and if your fiance doesn't have a lawyer she can recommend a lawyer which makes it easier when they know each other because they were both professional and respectful. So happy we finished our prenup and I love what she says "may your prenup have spiderwebs and hope you never use it, just like life insurance" unfortunately sometimes you gotta get it due to certain circumstances. But luckily my fiance and I knew our agreements already on what we wanted and why were getting it. Thank you Kelly and thanks for referring my fiance another great lawyer.
Kelly was the third attorney I talked with. I chose her on the same call as she was direct and had such a easy to talk to personality. I wasn't getting that 'click' with others I talked to. They were all just fine...but I did want that 'ah-ha' moment with someone. Kelly is fantastic. She stayed on top of all I needed before my wedding. Her and her team would gently nudge me to keep things on track and timely. She kept me in the loop on billing in real time. Such a pro and such an open personality. The best of both worlds! A+ & thumbs up!
If you want an attorney who is a “shark lawyer” or one who likes to litigate at all costs, you should look elsewhere. But if you want an experienced attorney who is extremely competent, abides by the law, has an arsenal of tools to come to a negotiated resolution, but who is not hesitant to go to litigation if necessary, then Kelly Chang is a great fit. My ex is an extremely difficult person to deal with, so it was a bit shocking to me that Kelly was able to bring this case to a resolution. Kelly tries to save her client money whenever possible, but advices the client to spend money when it is strategically necessary. She returns calls and emails very quickly, and engages help from other competent attorneys at cheaper rates to save some money for her clients. She is personable and compassionate but never a pushover. I was fortunate to have picked Kelly as my divorce attorney.
I highly recommend Kelly Chang to anyone needing a family law attorney. She is very experienced and this was evident in all my dealings with her. She writes complex contracts in concise english that is intelligible to someone with no legal training like myself. She is quick to respond, even outside normal office hours when needed, and happy to pick up the phone and talk in person. She is sympathetic and provides wise advice when needed. I would happily recommend her to anyone.
Kellie worked with me to make sure I was well informed and represented well during the whole process. She had a very straight forward and pragmatic approach to hard issues and was great at keeping me calm when things got a bit stressful. I wish I could say divorce is fun and exciting..not true but Kellie helped make it a lot less painful than it had to be. She is a great attorney and cares about what happens to you. She’s a good person.
Kelly is wonderful. I had some custody/traveling issues recently and I came to her for help and she did amazing. She listened and showed genuine care for my situation. I recommend Kelly to anyone and everyone. She is informative, knows the law, but most importantly cares for her clients and that right there says everything. Thank you Kelly!
Kelly is amazing. She recently helped me with a prenuptial agreement, and it couldn't have been easier. Kelly took the time to answer all of my questions, and I felt informed and comfortable the whole time. Caring, professional, and efficient. Thank you Kelly for being so awesome. :) I would highly recommend Kelly as a family law attorney.
