Carol Bailey & Associates, PLLC

Kelly Stafford with Meridian Family Law was a phenomenal choice when I unexpectedly found myself needing legal counsel. She showed exceptional knowledge and compassion from the start. My case was unique and complex as I’m a father with a fully established Family Law Order from another state that was opened again after many years. Reopening the case was incredibly stressful and emotional for my family, but Kelly established a deep understanding of my personal situation and the history of my case. She combined her vast knowledge of the law with her resourcefulness and experience to build a solid strategy to navigate through the process effectively. Her communication was clear, timely and catered appropriately to each topic and situation. Kelly composed a well-balanced mix of empathy and tenacity in response to dozens of motions, interactions with counsel and several appearances in court. She was relentless in her drive through 17 months of various motions resulting in multiple Orders, resolving my case to the best possible outcome. I will forever be grateful for Kelly’s professional expertise and her kindness.

I highly recommend Paige Haley. She's brilliant, effective, practical, tough, and kind. After years of really challenging litigation, the cases were 'settled' but issues continued to flare up with the other parent who has restrictions against him for the abusive uses of conflict and DV. I needed temporary post-decree support while my other attorney was on parental leave. When there was a critical moment, she stepped right in and didn't miss a beat. Paige is incredible to work with and you'd be lucky to have her as counsel.

I was incredibly lucky to have Kelly Stafford represent me through my defense. She was sincere in her empathy of my situation while also keeping me in check as to what would and would not be relevant under the law. She was adept at navigating the multiple unnecessary filings by my prior partner's attorney and explained everything very clearly along the way. She was kind, compassionate, and understanding while also highly skilled at crafting an effective legal argument around the facts of our case. The courts sided in my favor and I believe it was due to Kelly's expert ability to build a brilliant legal argument based on truth, evidence, current legal statutes, and prior court findings. She was nothing short of spectacular and I would recommend her to anyone.

Joseph Hunt is a great attorney—very knowledgeable, attentive, and offers excellent advice. He diligently explores various avenues to support your case. I highly recommend him. Thanks Joe !

Paige has helped me twice - once when I wanted to relocate out of state with my children, and again when I needed to update our parenting agreement and child support plans when I returned to WA. I really appreciated how she explained everything thoroughly, so I understood my options and how flexible she was with me doing some of the work on my own to so that I didn't incur unnecessary charges.
