I thought Camille the senior paralegal is going to go far with that personality. Go get em girl. I believe she did something special for me towards the end of her services that made it all get dismissed. And Kelso is very much a gentleman. Very easy to talk to. He could be a good friend.

I had one of the most complicated and difficult cases probably in the state of Idaho. I called and Camille immediately answered, booked an appointment with me to speak with Kelso and got me set up for representation. I have had a handful of attorneys in my lifetime and never once have I had an attorney give me their cell phone number to contact them directly; I was blown away. Like one of the other reviewers said if I could give them 10 stars I would! Not only did they represent me, but they literally saved me a 5 figure sum! Bottom line, Kelso and his staff are professional to the highest standards, they’re incredibly knowledgable and their communication is on point. They are basically everything that you want and are looking for in a family law firm for professional legal representation and I just can’t say enough good things about them.

Kelso decided to stop being my attorney, 3 days after I cut him a check for $7,000, which he cashed and 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.
