Vecchio Law Offices

I had an occasion to visit with Vecchio Law Offices for a case involving a couple in my own family who had separated and needed to finalize a parenting agreement for their two toddlers. The process has been particularly challenging at times due to contentious interactions, questionable decisions, and concerns about the children’s well-being. For parents facing similar family challenges, I urge you to prioritize being the best parent you can be, regardless of the state of your relationship. The well-being of your children should always come first. That said, Anne Vecchio’s pragmatic and no-nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air. I trust that she knows her way around the system and understands the complexities of the law and the challenges that parents face today. Thank you Attorney Anne Vecchio and team for protecting the best interests of the children while also helping loving parents navigate the complexities of the system! If you are in Winnebago County (IL), Boone County (IL), Stephenson County (IL), or Ogle County (IL), I, Thomas J. Messina (TJM) recommend you consider meeting with Vecchio Law Offices.

We used Anne, could not be more pleased with all the help she provided for us. Amazing attorney, would hire her 100 times over and more. Professional and fierce in the courtroom.

I hired her for my son she is very good I would recommend her for any custody case

I hired Kelly for a child custody case against my abuser, who frequently uses our child for his own personal vendetta. Months after our case closed, I had the state of Illinois contact me because Kelly had “negotiated” a child support amount that was below the legal limit he was entitled to pay. Two years after my case was over, my abuser discovered that Kelly had mistakenly put someone else’s visitation schedule in the final agreement, and began holding my daughter to that schedule, despite having our own that we worked out in mediation based on my daughters best interests, that we had been following for years. When I contacted Kelly about this, seeking advice on how to fix this, she was defensive and would only say she “didn’t remember,” even blaming me by saying I shouldn’t have signed it when it wasn’t correct. Although true, I was a single mom going through a traumatic experience with an abuser, and she was being paid hundreds of dollars per hour to do her job. Three years later, my daughter just celebrated Christmas without seeing both her parents, even though we live 5 minutes apart. Do not recommend Kelly for any custody case.

We hired Kelly Vecchio in June of 2019. Prior to hiring her we had already attended mediation with the other parent since that was a condition set by the previous court order. Since last year she has not made any progress in the court proceedings. She would go to court and say we hadn't attended mediation and hearing would get postponed. To please the court mediation was attended again and yet she still showed to court stating we did not attend to mediation. She will not take your case seriously and will be unprepared for court. After finally having enough a message was left for her office on why the judge wanted mediation AGAIN FOR A 3RD TIME?!?! And no response, of course. Then she wants to set up a conference call with both parties to come to a resolution. We declined that conference, because if after 5 hours of mediation nothing was resolved a 1 hour conference wont resolve anything either. We want everything that has happened to be on record which is why we want to meet with the GAL. That was our goal from day one. Kelly does not want to put in the work that your family needs. After declining her "conference meeting" she filed a motion to be removed as attorney for us due to a breakdown in attorney/client relationship. Plain and simple she did not like being told that she has been providing ineffective counsel and has been irreponsible with our hearings. If you care about your children and want a good outcome listen to all the bad reviews, they are true and find yourself another lawyer.
