I made a decision to hire Attorney Courtney Kelbel a few years ago to help me through the aftermath…read moreof a miserable divorce. Looking back after the multiple things we worked through together, I can honestly say that working with her was one of the best moves I could make. She really helped me get my life back together. She not only serves as a voice of reason, but she takes the time to help you understand the interpretation of the law. There are not many Lawyers out there who give such personalized service like Courtney. There are many times I would write her in the middle of the night or send emails with questions and she always got back to me. That is something priceless when difficult times weigh down your mind. I am genuine when I say that I couldn't have asked for a better Lawyer than Courtney Kelbel. I give her my highest recommendation.

Courtney Kelbel is a life saver. When I first met with her, I was convinced I was going to have to…read morefile for bankruptcy. But she provided assistance to keep that from happening. She worked with each of my creditors to arrange a payment that I could afford. I couldn't believe how much money she saved me. But the best thing about Courtney is her personal care and dedication. I always knew she was on my side - fighting for me. And she gave me constant hope and encouragement that I would be able to get through this process. I would highly recommend Kelbel Law Offices.

We had less than a week to complete everything, and Mr. James Hiller worked quickly and efficiently to ensure it was all taken care of.

James Hiller helped me settle a case recently, and in the end we were able to settle for a reasonable amount, and to his credit he negotiated a bit more then the counteroffer I originally was prepared to accept. No potential lawsuit is fun, so I can't say that I enjoyed the process, but Mr. Hiller is experienced, he researches the law effectively, and in the end he helped me settle so that my losses (yes, there some losses) were quite limited compared to what they might have been with a lesser attorney. I can recommend Mr. Hiller for those looking for experience, honesty, and practicability - which are 3 very good characteristics in my opinion.

BLUF: After nearly four years of representing myself, I had developed a good sense of what…read moreeffective advocacy looks (and doesn't look) like. Attorney Leaf exceeded my expectations. Once I retained her, I felt like the cavalry had arrived. She reduced my financial exposure from thousands of dollars to hundreds, and the difference in preparation and advocacy between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was immediately apparent. I imagine there's a time when a young person dreams of becoming an attorney, then spends years learning what excellence in the profession looks like. Then comes the day that person realizes they have become that attorney--and demonstrates it every day. In my view, Kristin Leaf is one of those attorneys. Words I would use to describe her are: mindful; considerate; empathetic; strategic; capable; understanding; and formidable. By simply doing her job well, Attorney Leaf distinguished herself immediately. The difference in preparation, responsiveness, and resourcefulness in court was obvious. Although Attorney Leaf treated the "other side" with courtesy and respect, and always conducted herself in a dignified manner, the difference in caliber between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was unmistakable. She takes the time to understand not just your legal position, but what you're actually trying to accomplish. She doesn't make you feel like a "case," like billable time, or like she's got more important things to be doing. She treats you like a human. She's also mindful that her time is your money and makes every interaction count. I personally observed that Attorney Leaf stepped in and pinch-hit for my other GRGB attorney. She's got people's backs. I had been pro se for almost four years, with the exception of two short appearances by attorneys that made my situation worse. I have no doubt that if I had been represented by Attorney Kristin Leaf from the beginning, I would be in a much stronger position in family court today. Most people "don't have the money" to spend on a lawyer, me included, but if it comes to spending money you don't have, better to spend it on someone who will work hard to get the outcomes you need-and who has a responsive, supportive, hard-working team-than on a budget attorney who doesn't truly listen or prioritize you. That's the one thing I appreciated most about Attorney Leaf. She listens--even when she probably already knows the answer. Even when your thinking is off track. Even when you're discussing something the court can't fix. She listens first, then works with you to identify the path forward. Attorney Leaf has clearly invested in becoming an exceptional attorney, and it shows in every interaction. GRGB is lucky to have her. Retain her before the other side does! I am also represented by another GRGB attorney in a criminal matter. As that case progresses, I expect to update this review to reflect that experience as well. That said, if you need representation on multiple legal fronts, that's yet another advantage of retaining this firm.

Terrible experience folks. I hired a divorce attorney from this law firm with the high hopes that…read morehe would be good. Unfortunately, he ended up being anything but. He was absolutely awful - honestly the worst attorney I've ever encountered. Among many other things, he would not respond in a timely manner (I would wait for days, sometimes weeks) and then he kept me in the dark on almost everything. He was full of empty promises and misinformation and didn't seem to know family law like he should. He was very disrespectful toward me as a client too, so I would avoid this law firm if I were you.
