The Philosophy of Charlotte Family Attorney Kelli Y. Allen

Allen, PLLC can help. Our mission is to guide you with empathy and understanding, providing clarity in what can often be a confusing and overwhelming process, ensuring you are well-informed at each critical step.

A Client-Centered Family Law Attorney
In family law, more so than any other practice area, clients' goals can be vastly different. You may want a real “tiger” or “pit bull” lawyer who will fight non-stop over even the smallest issue. Perhaps you want that lawyer to make things as difficult as possible for your spouse and “get” as much as possible as payback for the way he or she has treated you. Those are all valid emotional reactions and a legitimate way to approach a divorce case. Indeed, many family law attorneys ascribe to this philosophy, and that's completely fine. If this is what you are looking for, we will be happy to make a referral to a family attorney who will provide this type of aggressive representation. A client seeking this approach, however, would not be a good fit for KYA Law. Our focus remains on achieving a fair resolution through peaceful negotiation and mutual respect, fostering outcomes that support well-being over contention.

Frequently Asked Questions: Family Law in Charlotte
What Can I Expect During the Mediation Process with a Family Lawyer?
The mediation process involves structured negotiation facilitated by a neutral third-party mediator, often a Certified Family Financial Mediator. During mediation, both parties will discuss their perspectives and interests in a non-confrontational setting aiming for mutually satisfactory solutions. In Charlotte, mediation is encouraged to minimize conflict and foster agreeable outcomes. This process not only saves time and costs of court litigation but also helps maintain amicable relationships, particularly important for co-parenting dynamics. Our mediator and family law attorney can guide you through this process, ensuring a respectful discussion where all voices are heard.
How Do Local Laws Affect Family Law Cases in Charlotte?
Local laws in Charlotte and throughout Mecklenburg County significantly affect how family law issues are resolved, ranging from child custody arrangements to property distribution. Beyond this, different judges approach their cases differently. By working with a local family attorney that Charlotte residents trust, you are working with a legal advocate who knows the inner workings of regional courts and personnel. At the Law Office of Kelli Y. Allen, PLLC, our family lawyers can provide guidance that keeps you well-informed and prepared for any local legal challenges.
