If you want an attorney who is a “shark lawyer” or one who likes to litigate at all costs, you should look elsewhere. But if you want an experienced attorney who is extremely competent, abides by the law, has an arsenal of tools to come to a negotiated resolution, but who is not hesitant to go to litigation if necessary, then Kelly Chang is a great fit. My ex is an extremely difficult person to deal with, so it was a bit shocking to me that Kelly was able to bring this case to a resolution. Kelly tries to save her client money whenever possible, but advices the client to spend money when it is strategically necessary. She returns calls and emails very quickly, and engages help from other competent attorneys at cheaper rates to save some money for her clients. She is personable and compassionate but never a pushover. I was fortunate to have picked Kelly as my divorce attorney.

I highly recommend Kelly Chang to anyone needing a family law attorney. She is very experienced and this was evident in all my dealings with her. She writes complex contracts in concise english that is intelligible to someone with no legal training like myself. She is quick to respond, even outside normal office hours when needed, and happy to pick up the phone and talk in person. She is sympathetic and provides wise advice when needed. I would happily recommend her to anyone.

Kelly is dependable and reliable.

Kelly is a hard worker and she seeks to not only argue her client's best interest, but she also listens to what they want. She is thorough and pays close attention to details. All of these are the kind of traits you want in an attorney.

I came to Kelly looking for a pre-nup and she was very reasonably priced and responsive.While some attorney's will fight for more because it pads their bill, Kelly listens and does what is in the best interest of her client. She is very responsive and diligent. My fiance and I wanted to establish a premise for our agreed upon relationship (that is slightly different than that assumed by the state when you sign your marriage license). Kelly helped us understand what the state assumptions were about the partnership and articulate how we wanted our relationship to be different.

I would highly recommend her services.

I would give Kelly 10 stars if I could! Recently I used Kelly for a pre-nup. I was clearly out of my league with my future wife's family attorney, however once I met Kelly, she made me feel safe and secure! Her calming demeanor and knowledge about everything concerning family law was exactly what I needed.

If you ever are in need an attorney that fights for you and treats you like a family member, call Kelly!

Kelly is wonderful. I had some custody/traveling issues recently and I came to her for help and she did amazing. She listened and showed genuine care for my situation. I recommend Kelly to anyone and everyone. She is informative, knows the law, but most importantly cares for her clients and that right there says everything. Thank you Kelly!

Kelly is amazing. She recently helped me with a prenuptial agreement, and it couldn't have been easier. Kelly took the time to answer all of my questions, and I felt informed and comfortable the whole time.

Caring, professional, and efficient. Thank you Kelly for being so awesome. :) I would highly recommend Kelly as a family law attorney.

I can honestly not recommend Kelly highly enough. I entered my process with Kelly with very little knowledge and direction and she guided me seamlessly through my whole situation. I always felt very informed and reassured through every step of the way.
Kelly always replies very promptly, and her kind, down to earth personality has a way of making her feel like a friend versus your attorney.

My whole experience with Kelly was easy and dealt with very efficiently and off the highest quality with some very serious time constraints.

Again, I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough. She was a true pleasure to deal with and work with and if you ever need an attorney in her field you would be doing yourself a huge favor by setting up a consultation with her.

Kelly is my third attorney during my whole divorce process since 2014, and it was a VERY LONG process. When I came to her office, I was desperate to get divorce with my ex who is hiding over sea. She guided me and helped me to understand the whole process step by step. She is expensive, but she also want you to save money, so everything she told you there is no BS. Kelly is very well-responded, she replied email very fast unless she was with a client or she was at trial. Kelly is very honest and knowledgeable, she will tell you the worst outcome, even though it's very ugly, and you wouldn't like to hear it most likely, and it's up to you to use it to negotiate with the other size, in my case, we settled without going through the court. She also told me what is a good evidence and what is not. She fights, more important, she fights smartly. One more thing I would like to mention, she cares, she cares about you, your emotion, your child and she will guide the best to you. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is seeking for a divorce lawyer.

Kelly is an outstanding Family Law attorney and mediator. She is well respected in the community and field. Extremely knowledgeable and gets matters resolved efficiently. I highly recommend Kelly and her Office!

Kelly is incredibly knowledgeable about California family law and always takes her time to go through it with you and explain it in a way that you'll understand. She's the first person that I go to when I need expert advice on this matter and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic lawyer.

Kelly is NO non-sense. She will talk you right out of your own bad ideas and get you to a financially sound settlement. Emotions can cloud reason when going through divorce. That is why you hire a lawyer to keep you focused on not destroying your financial future during divorce.

Kelly Chang has been a God-sent in my divorce case. At the first, I was hesitant to hire an attorney because I did not want to come out of the divorce completely broke. From out first consultation, I immediately felt that Kelly would be the best person to represent me. Her professionalism did not take anything away from her nurturing ways. No action was ever taken without her first discussing it with me. I received consistent updates on my case, and not once did she put money before my well-being and that of my son. She regularly inquired about my son to make sure he was doing fine during those difficult times. One evening, when I was feeling quite depressed about the impact the divorce was having on my child, imagine that Kelly spent hours communicating with me, giving me advice and lifting me up. I will never forget my experience with Kelly who made me feel like I was not alone in this divorce. I felt protected but also vindicated when she piled up victory after victory in my case. She fights like a bull, but she does it with grace, confidence, and fairness. I was lucky to have her in my corner!

What spoke to me the most about Kelly was her genuine kindness and professionalism. I interviewed a few attorneys and I didn’t feel the peace, I felt with Kelly. She communicated so well with me. Kelly takes the time to cover anything you have questions or concerns about. She was always readily available when I needed to communicate with her. She truly made my divorce a smooth experience. Thankful to Kelly and her team for caring so much. 
Gratefully, V.V.

Kelly helped me with my prenup. She made the process so easy and smooth and thats all we wanted. She recommended a lawyer for my fiance and that made the process so much easier. She gave me tips and helped me answer all the questions I had along the way. I would definitely recommend her and if your fiance doesn't have a lawyer she can recommend a lawyer which makes it easier when they know each other because they were both professional and respectful. So happy we finished our prenup and I love what she says "may your prenup have spiderwebs and hope you never use it, just like life insurance" unfortunately sometimes you gotta get it due to certain circumstances. But luckily my fiance and I knew our agreements already on what we wanted and why were getting it. Thank you Kelly and thanks for referring my fiance another great lawyer.

This review is strictly for my prenup kelly helped me draft and finalize. I hired kelly to represent me for a prenuptial agreement between my fiancee and I. I was looking around yelp to find an attorney who suits me and my interests, but most i looked into around the area, in my opinion, were overpriced or didnt seem trustworthy. I decided to call kelly changs office for a quote and she gave me a free 20 minute consultation over the phone. Kelly is straight to the point, very knowledgeable in her field, and competent. She answered any questions i had within a few hours and treated me with respect. She truly represents her clients with their best interest in mind. Her price was fair and she adds in an additional 2 hours of negotiations, answering questions, and editing with her flat rate. I honestly thought i would go over the 2 hour because of all the questions and lagging that came up, but kelly often checks up on me and reminds me on what needs to be done. With my busy schedule, she has been very patient and helpful. I definitely recommend the law office of kelly chang for any services she offers and i am confident that her clients will be in good hands. Thanks again kelly!

First of all, thank you Kelly for reaching out to me regarding my recent 1 star review, talked to her and explained why I left her the review, I must say, I'm very pleased the way she handled it, very sweet and kind person she is, very professional, I can only imagine how wonderful and blessed it is if she can be my attorney, unfortunately she doesn't handle my case I appreciated your call and it was such a pleasure talking to you over the phone. Thank you and God bless you and continue to bless you in your life.

Kelly is an excellent lawyer. She is extremely sharp, diligent and experienced. She's able to cut to the chase and provide simple and straightforward strategies and solutions. My mom and I are very lucky and grateful for her family law services. Kelly is definitely a super lawyer and five star attorney. If you or someone you know is going through an emotional and complicated family law matter, please contact Kelly. Most importantly, please listen to her when she gives you advice. I highly recommend Kelly and her professional services.

After meeting with several attorneys, I hired Kelly to prepare my prenuptial agreement. Right off the bat, I felt she was more knowledgeable in this field. She was able to answer my questions and did not force me to push for more than what I wanted. I highly recommend her.

Kelly is an outstanding attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. She cares a lot about her clients and their well being. She is excellent at finding common ground between two parties. She will fight for her clients and command the room! Kelly gets the job done and I highly recommend her services.

Kelly Chang has a refreshing approach to Family Law. Rather than try to get both sides fighting, to maximize her (and her opposing council's) billable hours, Kelly tries to keep families peaceable and outcomes reasonable. That said, there is no bitbull better to have in your corner if the other side gets unfair -- she'll take on a bully any day. Also, she knows the law backwards and forwards.

Fair but tough, with solid moral code, Kelly is exactly who you want on your side.

She puts her clients above all else. Ethical and efficient.

Kelly is a competent lawyer who truly care about her client.
Understanding, Reliable. All my expectations and needs were
meet in a very professional manner.
Highly recommended.

Kelly is a really great mediator. Helps you and your partner arrive at an agreement that benefits both parties. Processing of paperwork is really fast.

Most people know obtaining a premarital agreement is never a fun process, but if you have to do it, Kelly is definitely the right choice. I leaned heavily on Kelly's vast experience and she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Kelly made the whole process go smoothly and quickly. The turnaround time for the documents and revisions was fast and efficient. It's a difficult task finding a reliable and professional family law firm if you've never had to deal with it before, but fortunately I was lucky to stumble across Kelly. Based on my first hand experience, I highly recommend Kelly to anyone in need of Family Law counsel and services.

I went through a long, very troublesome divorce this year that took a huge toll on me and my kids. Initially, I had another planned to be with another attorney with low rates, however the office would never get back to me which set me back a lot.

I found Kelly through her great reviews and a recommendation by an acquaintance. When I called the office, her assistants were very helpful in answering my questions fast and whenever I leave a voicemail, I'm always contacted back in under an hour. Working with Kelly has been great for many reasons, but mainly her commitment to my case, her timeliness, and her experience. With a case like mine, I needed someone who was tough to tell me what to expect and what to do. She was straightforward with me as soon as we had our initial consultation and did not beat around the bush at all.

She knew that this was a difficult time for me and my family, so she knew how to make sure the process was as painless and quick as possible with the best results.

In every step of the way, she was right and always took the right move and pushed me to take the right move which always ended up being the best move. When I had so many questions and concerns throughout it all, she always answered my emails right away and I would be able to meet with her or have a phone appointment as soon as she was available, which was always fast because she cares and goes out of her way for all her clients.

What also makes Kelly so great is that she is the definition of an attorney who won't waste your time and money- her goal is to get things done right, and this itself allowed me to continue my own work without disruptions and not overpay unlike other attorneys who might have lower rates but you end up paying so much more for because they're slow and take unnecessary steps just to charge you more (something that happened to a friend of mine, and her divorce is STILL not processed completely).

I cared the most about my kids, and she made the best outcome for them and me, and now we have finally reached a great settlement through Kelly's amazing skills as an attorney and as a person.

Kelly drafted our prenup. It was a 64 page document full of legal terms I didn't understand. However, she was able to interpret it into normal language and explain. I met with several other attorneys and they just couldn't explain things the way she can. I highly recommend her.

Awesome family lawyer! Kelly is a highly experienced and seasoned lawyer who loves her job. Makes her clients feel like they are in good hands. Highly recommend her for any family law cases. She's the best at what she does!

First of all I want to say that I am a Chinese woman, my son's father is an American guy and he is a millionaire, and I have no income except borrowing money from my relatives. My case finally is over after almost a year fighting. I had an extremely complicated case of custody and jurisdiction case with my son's father.
My son and I moved from Colorado to Los Angeles, we shared custody 50/50. I was trying to move my son's jurisdiction case from Colorado to Los Angeles. I did lot of research for an attorney in June of 2015, and finally I found Kelly, the amazing lawyer who helped us went through the whole desperate, exhausted time.
Her rates were worth it for my complicated case, and when the case finally ended in March, Kelly gave me a lot of discounts, so I was able to pay her off.
The best part I liked about her was that she was always there for me. She would respond to my messages quickly and calm me and tell me what her suggestions and what her guesses would be.... even though I knew I would need to pay her when I talk to her, I still needed to have someone calm me and make me feel more comfortable, and she was the one to do that. She was like a therapist to me through those tough days.
I felt like dying those days, yet she was always there to encourage me.
In March of 2016 we finally got the court order - I have sole physical custody and sole legal custody! It's been half a year, and I still cannot believe this is real, but it IS real. When you have such a great lawyer out there helping me, anything can change!
I was so lucky to have her as my attorney.

Kelly is our "go to" referral for my law firm's clients who need aggressive and effective representation in family law.

She explained agreement to me. Honest. Understands Chinese by very Americanized. I want American lawyer to represent me in court.
