    Kelso was amazing, I cannot recommend him highly enough…read more Five years ago my divorce experience (with a different lawyer) was horrific. When I realized I had to file for a custody change, I needed to find someone new. Kelso (and his PL Tara) were wonderful. Calm, reassuring, competent, and confident and always in my corner. It I was exactly the right energy and experience for me. His knowledge of the system and how it works got me through the process and things turned out even better than I had hoped for. His relaxed confidence helped me endure the process with much less stress and anxiety.

    Kelso decided to stop being my attorney, 3 days after I cut him a check for $7,000, which he cashed…read moreand received. He waited until he got my money ($14,000 cash in total) and then let me know he was going to drop me as his client right after a court hearing with no warning. His reason? Since I had recently quit a toxic job, he was concerned that I would no longer be able to pay him. The nerve for him to say this after me giving him my life savings to help me get my child back. He told me he would have to file a motion to withdraw as my attorney, and that I had to sign it and agree, otherwise he would "take me on in court and I wouldn't stand a chance against him." I later realized I had the right to not let him withdraw as my attorney at that point, as we were headed for a trial in just a few months, but he lied to me and basically told me I had no choice. Not only this, but he failed in every way possible as my attorney. He did absolutely nothing to help my case. At one point, I kid you not, he referred to himself as a "Ferrari driving you to Vegas that needs to be filled with premium gasoline"....when I asked him why his going rate was $450 an hour when all he did during the time I was with him is play on his tablet, brag about himself, and use AI to write his paperwork in court. He is a complete narcissist and also formerly a judge from California. He decided to become a lawyer just for the money, and it shows. He doesn't care about people, or families, or integrity. Don't be his next victim! Avoid this man like the plague. Camille is cool tho.
