If you are on the side of truth and you want am attorney that will fight for you and your child or children I highly suggest you hire Her as your attorney!
Had a meeting with Mandy on a complex messy case (due to the laziness of other lawyers). Mandy provided us with clear direction, honesty about what we can to to address the mistakes made by other laywers. She explained why things were done the way they were. If I need a lawyer in the future, I will go to her.
I highly recommend Mandy as a family lawyer!!!!Back in 2013 my ex-wife was trying to take my 5 kids and everything else from me....Mandy assured everything would be ok...my ex-wife accused me of everything under the sun...I got scared but mandy knows what she is doing!!! Now I have time with my kids ....Mandy is very knowledgeable and she is very good in the courtroom ...And then I got the bill....there office was very nice and let me make monthly payments. ..I have already recommended her to family and coworkers...which have used her and say the same thing....oh another thing is mandy was very responsive to my emails...I got a response back to all my questions very fast....to sum things up...Mandy is very good attorney!!!!Thanks Mandy
When I hired Ms. McKellar to assist me with a child custody matter, I found her to be familiar with the law, understanding of my situation, and supportive of my objectives. She was responsive and professional throughout my case and achieved the results I was looking for without having to go to trial. Her methods will give you your best chance of winning while keeping costs to a minimum. I highly recommend her for all family law matters.
Mandy is an amazing attorney and as well as her paralegal Kristine! She helped a single father with joint custody secure primary custody in a very delicate, heart wrenching case that was over a 9month period of court hearings and ending in an evidentiary hearing. She made it affordable and had very reasonable legal fees for the expertise and amount of hours she put into the case. I definitely recommend her to anyone in Las Vegas who needs a great lawyer who knows how to navigate the difficult family court waters!!
My case was contested custody, the parents of my ex have all the money to spend in his behalf and I don't. I went to different lawyers that won't listen to my drama and I was desperate to win my kids because I know my ex cannot take care of them. My savings was getting low. I saw Mandy here and knew she's the one to win my case. She's very attentive and listened to every detail of pain that I went through. I have all the evidence I need but she pulled a very smooth tactics that made my ex to back off! She requested my ex-husband to sign a HIPPA release, drug test, and many more. After a few months of going back and forth to court, she won my case and closed the deal last December 2013. I am very happy and satisfied because now I have permanent sole legal and sole physical custody with my 3 kids and a 100% discretion when it comes to visitation. And about the bills? Her firm gives me an option. Just like she said, she lets her clients pay her like an auto loan. I love Mandy and I will hire her again if I need to.
I was going through a Divorce / Custody battle with my ex wife and retained the serviced of Mandy. After informing her of my case and all the info she spent time first explaining what the process was and then fighting like a shark for my rights as a father.
Mandy J McKellar is always quick to respond which helped through the tough process of working on my divorce proceedings with a non-responsive spouse. She is tough and gets right to the point without rolling over you providing detailed information and facts of law related to your case. After working with Mandy for several months and hearing her in the court room defending my positions I could not have asked for better representation.
Mrs. McKellar is great at what she does she spends alot of time on your case and does what is in the best interest for you. I have and would recommend her to anyone
Please do not waste your money or time on this lady. She will move slowly and not pay attention to your emails, and then come back asking for information you've already provided weeks ago. She will talk to you like you are an idiot. In one of her emails to me she said "Ok, let me break it down to you.. read slowly" this is verbatim and "don't for a second treat me like I don't know what the F... I am doing" when I showed frustration and used the "damn" word in my email. Mind you, you are the one who's paying her and she's talking to you like this. She will sign away your money without your consent. She offered the other side a lot money after I explicitly told her not to and then she comes back with "well, it's too late, they've already accepted". Why did I keep her and keep paying her? Because I thought my ex and I reached an agreement but he would then change his mind and ask for more. Which he kept getting. Yes, she will settle your case for you, for sure. Just be prepared to have her give the other side EVERYTHING they ask for and avoid court at every expense. She will tell you over and over, " I just want to get you divorced and save you money", all the while giving away your money like it's water. Do not hire this lady if your case is remotely complicated or you are a high income earner with your own business. And of course if you are looking for someone who remotely respects or listens to you. This to say, that by the time, I brought another lawyer in, it was too late to undo all the damage she had already done and I was out of money to keep paying more and more fees. Wish I had someone different from the beginning. I would possibly still had paid alimony but much less than what was projected by the time another party came into play. The whole justice system is not just people. Be prepared to lose as the lawyers make all the money. Divorce law is antiquated and needs an overhaul.
