Robert A. Kelly, Attorney at Law

I had a really good experience with Robert and his legal secretary Sonia facilitating my recent divorce. He was very kind, thoughtful, sympathetic and patient, and when a deadline was approaching over the Christmas holidays, he went out of his way to put aside his own plans to help me. Considering how incredibly stressful getting a divorce can be, working with him was as "pleasant" as one could ask for. I highly recommend him for his professionalism, and his humanity. There is a place to put a photo, so I will add one of my dogs- why not?

Rob and Sonia did a fantastic job for me and I recommend them highly. Rob is knowledgeable, empathic, and very patient in explaining the laws. I picked him because I didn't want a confrontational divorce, and true to his word he directed the process so that my ex-wife and I ended up in agreement on all the important issues. I got so comfortable with his advocacy that after the initial meetings I hardly thought about the divorce, after initially being obsessed with it. I never even met with Rob in person. The whole process was done on my iPhone while I was on the road. Sonia was wonderful. She explained things clearly, gave me great advice, and kept my spirits up in the initial difficult stages. I interviewed a different divorce lawyer but didn't use him because he didn't have an assistant like Sonia, who was always reliable and available when I needed her.

Rob’s integrity and diligence bring honor to our profession. For many years, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting around the table with Rob on cases where he has been a mediator, a collaborative attorney and a litigator. Although he is one of the mostly highly regarded family law litigation attorneys in Whatcom County, Rob is a peacemaker to the core. Rob’s commitment to solving problems is strongly enhanced by his sincerity, compassion and experience. I’ve never known an attorney who cares more about helping his clients than Rob does. I highly recommend Rob for anyone who wants to resolve their legal problems with efficiency and effectiveness.

I cannot speak highly enough of Rob Kelly as the best possible attorney for a high conflict divorce or custody case. He genuinely cares about his clients, has high integrity, and his team at the office match his thoughtfulness and care. I am grateful to him for the many ways he has supported myself and my son.

Rob's great to work with, evaluates difficult situations from all angles. Talks things over with you before making strategic moves and never gives the feeling like he is just trying to run up the bill. He also had great relationships with other professionals in his trade that was really helpful.

Robert Kelly's is not only a very knowledgeable lawyer, but also a great guy. I found him to be exceptionable and would call on him again without ever thinking of seeking out a second opinion. I am that confident with his honesty and integrity. His paralegal, Sonia was extremely helpful as well along the way.

I hope you never need a family law attorney, but if you do Robert is great. He came highly recommended by a friend who also had a very positive experience using him. Robert listens, he doesn't have a big ego, he's super smart, and he gets the job done.
