Testimonials:
I came to Yelman specifically because they assist out-of-state parents in divorce situations. At the time, my children were living in California and I lived in the midwest. Kelli Howe/Satterly handled my case from the beginning even when I was only suspecting my ex-wife would file for a child support adjustment in CA. She advised me through my numerous questions even before I retained her. She researched info and advised me on exactly what the best course of action was. When the time came to block the action, her research was extremely specific and relevant. Her manner is very client oriented including having expert knowledge and setting clear expectations. The precedents she cited were overwhelming and her presentation was persuasive. Kelli stopped an unjust situation from happening and I'm very grateful for her assistance!

Kelli Howe/Satterly was a great choice for me for my divorce case. She quickly helped me feel confident in that we had made the correct choice to have an uncontested divorce. I appreciated her experience and her accessibility the most but she was able to guide me through the process efficiently to help us get an amicable, expedient result that worked well for both parties. When you go through a divorce it is very emotional and overwhelming and having Kelli there to assist was very significant in making the legal process as simple and clear as possible. Her services were a big part of me being able to feel positive throughout about being able to get through the process. I highly recommend Kelli to anyone facing a dissolution of marriage.

I was so lost, scared and depressed going through my divorce. So a friend of mine highly recommended Yelman & Associates. My first phone contact was Tara Yelman. She made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and direct (which I truly appreciated). She then directed me to one of her associates, Kelli Howe/Satterly. Not understanding or knowing my rights, choices or the law, Kelli with her gentle nature, held my hand and walked and instructed me through each step with great encouragement. She understood my fears and was able to give me the push I needed to complete each task. I knew after the first meeting with Kelli Howe, she would handle my case honestly, professionally, thoroughly and aggressively. When Kelli said she was going to follow through, she did! I never felt taken advantage of or out of the loop. I also felt, I didn't just get Kelli as my attorney, but the backing of Yelman & Associates. Since my divorce, I have recommended several clients. They have shared with me how impressed they were with Kelli's tenacity, professionalism, communication and how she can thoroughly complete tacks in a timely manner. I am blessed to have met Kelli. She was my angel.

When we first met Kelli, it didn't take us long at all to know that we liked her. It was easy to see her depth of concern, and she was able to quickly grasp the situation and offer up ways of resolving it. Simply put, she "got it", and that was very important to us. Her quick thinking and action got us the protection and security we needed, and we are very grateful to her. She's absolutely wonderful, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask for her help again.

Kelli Howe of Yelman & Associates has been a tremendous asset to me and my situation. I retained Yelman & Associates for a child support/custody modification and I was literally a nervous wreck. Ms. Howe was with me every step of the way. She listened to me and completely understood my issues. That was important to me. I had seen attorneys in the past that couldn't remember the names of their clients' children or how many children they had. Working with someone that takes the time to really know you and your situation helps a lot. An enormous weight was lifted from my shoulders because I was able to stop worrying. Any question I had, Ms. Howe was there--with no delay--with an answer for me (she still is). I was very proud that I had such a competent attorney speaking for me at the hearing. The case is over now but she is still in my corner, helping me with minor issues that arise and giving me appropriate advice. The way I currently see things, Ms. Howe will be with me for many years to come.
