David Kelly, Stephanie and his staff did a good job helping me navigate the divorce process. Divorce is an emotionally draining event and it helps to have experienced professionals providing support and guidance. I would recommend them to anyone needing a team of professional and caring legal experts on their side.

I'm beyond grateful to Stephen Lawrence for his incredible dedication and expertise. When I started working with him, my visitation rights with my children were severely limited due to false accusations made by my ex. This was a harrowing time in my life, and I had already been through three lawyers, all of whom failed to stand up to the opposing side. Stephen Lawrence, however, was different.From our very first meeting, he demonstrated a deep understanding of my case and an unwavering commitment to fight for my rights as a parent. Each time we stepped into the courtroom, I gained back more visitation time, a testament to his exceptional skills and relentless advocacy. Stephen never backed down, always prepared with thorough evidence and compelling arguments. He believed in me and fought tirelessly when I couldn't fight for myself. Thanks to him, I have my kids back. I highly recommend Stephen Lawrence to anyone in need of a tenacious and compassionate lawyer.

Its been 3+ years since i found David and hired him to help me with my situation, and I wrote a review in the past but I feel like I didn’t say enough first because my english was poor but lately I been thinking how blessed i was finding him, he was a breath of peace when i felt lost, he is an honorable man, he knows very well what to do! Being a young mother words can’t say enough how much I appreciate it all the support and how great he defended me and my little boy. God bless this man and his team!!!!1000000 Stars for him ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr. Kelley and Ms. Gavia provided excellent service. I was very nervous when my ex decided to file for full custody. These situations can be very scary, especially when you think about losing time with your child. However Ms. Gavia and Mr. Kelley helped me navigate through this experience and made it easier than expected. They were always very responsive, answered any questions or concerns, and were very firm and aggressive when needed on my behalf. Very appreciative of their help and support.

David is amazing! When I went in for my consultation I was feeling very defeated and not very hopeful at all. He immediately put me at ease and knew exactly how we needed to proceed. He worked quickly and results were better than I had hoped for. The cost was very reasonable as well.

David was a good choice as a lawyer for child custody and support, I mostly chose him based off of the reviews online and also the free consultation which allowed me to know whether he would be the right fit for my case. He was a great negotiator with all the terms and the information and concerns I provided and Lisa was especially great at responding to any questions I had. The retainer fee, while a good amount to pay upfront, covered the whole process and was definitely worth the quality! I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case thanks to his office's help and if any problems should arise in the future I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again

My original court order was from another state and needed to be transferred to Texas and modified. Our previous court experience was quite contentious and I was very concerned that would be the case again.David and Lisa were fantastic, thorough, and tremendously helpful at helping understanding the differences between the state I had been in and what I could expect in Texas. I felt comfortable with their advice and that I was making making sound decisions in the modification.Ultimately, he found creative ways to help me get what I wanted without giving up the terms that were most important to me, which is truly all that matters in the long run.As with my previous case, I made the decision to hire David because of his willingness to listen to my story and what was important to me before telling me what I should do or how we should proceed.I found David to be firm, but consistent, and very much appreciated his approach to my case with me and opposing counsel. Should I need further legal assistance in my case, I would not hesitate to hire him again.

For the past two years Mr. Kelley and Ms. Gavia have assisted me tirelessly through my custody battle. As a young mother I felt extremely overwhelmed while searching for the right attorney to take on my case but after the first consultation with Mr. Kelley I regained the confidence to go to court and continue with all the legalities and proceedings. Mr. Kelley has always been excellent at briefing me through each process so that I can make the best decisions for my daughter and I. Mr. Kelley is very understanding and extremely compassionate with his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anybody looking for an attorney in family law.

I went to war with my ex over custody of my child. She kept our 3 month old daughter from me, lied, had me arrested, tried to get protective orders and tried to make it where I got no time with our daughter. We had at least 6 court dates and he won every time. After each court date I got more and more time with my daughter. Protective order was denied, rescheduling motions always got granted. Due to the questions he asked at the protective order hearing my criminal attorney was able to use the statements that she made under oath to prove that she was lying, my criminal charges were then dismissed before trial. In the end I now have 50/50 custody just like I wanted all along. I have my daughter every birthday, holiday etc etc. Will 100% be using him again if it is needed.

I was very nervous about hiring an attorney over the phone. Mr. Kelley put my mind at ease during our consultation. He kept me informed along the way and thoroughly explained everything. If I called or emailed with questions about my case him or Lisa got back to me promptly. I highly recommend him, he will handle your case with care!

I have my inital consultation in a few hours. I'm looking forward to meeting him he was referred by a friend and I've Heard lots of good things about him and also have red on his review so with myself having hired an attorney who would not do anything and then filed the wrong petition I have high hopes for this one. I am very excited to meet him David Kelly!I will let you know how it goes but I have a good feeling and I'm confident that my expectations will be met

I couldn't recommend a better attorney! He and Lisa were very informative and helpful with any questions or concerns we may have had. Mr. Kelley is worth every penny we spent with him (reasonably priced). Anyone seeking a family attorney should definitely go see Mr. Kelley before hiring anyone else!

David E. Kelly and staff have gone above and beyond to help my family through an extremely difficult situation. We hired Mr. Kelly for an unexpected custody case. This process was extremely long and trying, but Mr. Kelly kept me calm and his legal advice and instincts were always right on. He has great attention to detail, is very knowledgeable, kind and professional. He and Lisa, his paralegal always returned calls and emails in a timely manor. Lisa would take the time to go over every detail of information I did not completely understand. He is the reason my kids have the right custody plan. I was fortunate to find him. I trust him completely and he is exactly what someone needs in a family law attorney. Simply OUTSTANDING representation and results.

I couldn't of been any happier with my services with Mr Kelley & Lisa. They were always available to answer my questions and guide me through my process. I trusted that Mr. Kelley had my best interests in mind during this process and I trusted his advice, he NEVER steered me wrong. He was ALWAYS on time to all court hearings. He is a smart lawyer and knows his way around the court room. They made this process easy and stress free for me. If I ever need a lawyer again, they will be my first call. Thank you Mr. Kelley & Lisa!!!!!

They carry more items than what other stores. So many other stores are reducing what they offer so it makes it difficult to find the items you want and need.

This was my first experience working with an attorney, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to use David E Kelley & Associates. From our first meeting until everything was finalized David proved himself knowledgeable, patient, and fair. In a time when everything else in my world was unsettled and unknown, it bought me comfort knowing that David and his team were helping me finalize my divorce as amicably as possible.I would be remiss if I failed to mention how incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind his associate Lisa Gavia was throughout this process. She was always quick to respond to my calls and emails, and took the time to explain things in a way I was able to understand.I am very grateful to them both, and am happy with the length of time it took to finalize my divorce and the outcome. Should the need arise I would gladly use David E Kelley and Associates again.

David & Lisa are both highly professional, thorough, fair and efficient. They were especially effective against opposing counsel/party who was a complete unnecessary nightmare. David & Lisa helped cut through all nonsense and keep the process flowing smoothly with matter of fact results at each stage. Honestly, an excellent experience all of the way through.

David Kelley is a wonderful attorney. After more than 20 years of marriage I was a nervous wreck when I came to his office. After my initial meeting with him and his associate, Lisa Gavia, it felt as if the clouds had parted and I was actually able to see light for the first time. His confidence and calm demeanor gave me great comfort in dark times. My divorce was handled quickly and decisively and I came away feeling that I received a more than fair settlement. If you are needing a divorce attorney, no matter the circumstances, definitely reach out to David Kelley.

As my attorney, David was very proactive in protecting my rights as a father. David and his associate Lisa Gavia went above and beyond to give reliable feedback and answers regarding my case. Additionally David demonstrated excellent negotiation skills during my mediation settlement agreement. At this law office, I felt my interests protected and adhered to causing no concerns. His services were reasonable and fair. I highly recommend him to others based on my experience as a client.
