Tough yet compassionate, and simply the best

What Nancy and her team have achieved for my children is difficult to put into just a few words. Nancy handled the NY law aspects for the successful return of my children from a foreign country under The Hague convention, where they had been wrongfully held. She coordinated a team of multi-jurisdictional attorneys in fending off the attempt to play two legal jurisdictions against each other. She navigated through a highly complex and adversarial divorce process with multiple legal challenges at both the Supreme Court and appellate court levels. She dealt with repeated and protracted custody, visitation and child support challenges. Last but not least, Nancy ensured that my children enjoy some normality in their lives thanks to a criminal restraining order in their favor. If it hadn't been for Nancy and her team, my children would not have had the opportunities to become the thriving young teenagers that they now are. Nancy takes the time to fully understand a case, from both a legal but also a human point of view. She is straight forward and tells you how things are, even if at times that may not be what you want to hear. She knows the law and the Westchester courts like no other. She disarms the other party's attorneys with facts, well-researched case law and convincing arguments. She is compassionate, caring, and empathetic. Yet she is tough and fights like no other for your cause. She applies a strategic and forward-looking approach to her advocacy, never just settling for a short-term win. She and her team are tremendously resourceful: her papers are always well researched, spot-on and artfully drafted. She cites case law and structures her arguments that earn her credibility and respect in court, all the while ripping through and exposing misleading or outright false statements of the other party. Nancy has advocated for my family for almost a decade. The lives of my children would have been very different had it not been for her advocacy. She is more than just an attorney. She has become a friend. I am conscious that every case is different and has its challenges, but I don't know of any better family attorney in Westchester. Thank you, Nancy & team!

Nancy is very ethical and a consummate professional who knows the law inside and out. She doesn't not waste your time while also being compassionate. I have been extremely satisfied with her services and have recommended her to others who have also been consistently satisfied.

Nancy and her team worked with me during one of the most difficult times in my life and they made the process almost effortless. Her attentiveness, compassion and professionalism was nothing short of amazing. I would recommend the legal services of Nancy D. Kellman to anyone.

Nancy'c counsel was invaluable before my divorce action as well as during my trial. If you have a complex mess and need an ace, at the very least take a consult with Nancy.

Nancy is one of the savviest, most thorough, and experienced attorneys that I have used. She is ethical, honest, efficient, and responsive. She knows the law and truly cares about the best interests of her clients. I have recommended her to both business and personal acquaintances, and she has always delivered superior results.

Save your money. Was the worst experience I have ever felt as a woman. Powerless and no negotiation at all. Nothing. She should read the book How to Negotiate Anything. Rule one is if you feel you have no power, you have no power. That is how she made me feel from the moment she got her retainer.

Ms. Kellman was highly recommended by other well-respected attorneys. I was in desperate need of a highly skilled attorney who could navigate the court system and help me protect my child from my spouse. She quickly made me realize that I had made the right choice. Not only was she brilliant in court, she also cared very much about what i had to say.
Family Court was a scary process but I always felt at ease when she was by my side. Her office and legal team was also caring and compassionate. They all fought for me and my child. I had many concerns and questions during the ordeal and Ms. Kellman was always prompt in responding to the many times I had to contact her office.
I am recommending Ms. Kellman because she is so good at what she does. She is respected by judges and others attorneys and they intently listen when she has something to say. She was a perfect choice and I received an outcome that was far better than I expected.

Nancy is a compassionate, knowledgeable attorney who courageously seeks out the best deal for her client. In a field full of inept practitioners, she stands out as a model of cool, calm and full of creative and interesting ideas to move to the finish line and quickly resolve disputes.

My boyfriend used this attorney for his divorce. She was useless. At every turn she appeared to favor his ex-wife. She agreed with his ex-wive's attorney that his business was valued at an outrageous amount of money, an expert agreed that there was no value beyond my boyfriend's efforts, there was no intrinsic value. She once expressed that she did not know how his ex wife could live on a proposed $7000/month. Are you kidding? The list of complaints is endless, but this is a brief synopsis.
