Atkinson & Kelsey deserves a 10/5 rating. They are so professional, and they are also so friendly. As a person who was having a hard time navigating the court system, they were always there for me. Lucy Sinkular worked with me, and she helped me with anything I needed. I’m so thankful for them.

Lucy Sinkular was amazing. Family struggles involve emotion and often grey zones filled with morals, values, and ethics that are difficult at times to sort out. Lucy is amazing, diligent, conscientious, resourceful and persistent to ensure the voices of those taken advantage of are heard. She is a beautiful soul, creating positive change in so many ways!!

This firm is such a joke. They take money to represent you and do a mediocre job. They don't prepare you for the case, they dont utilize the evidence that they ask you to provide. You attempt to contact numerous people at the firm while you have an active case and they don't reply. They dont stay in contact with the whole process. Denise Ready waited until the last night prior to the case to jam everything in. Documents that were provided to the court to be used in the case were never given to us, or we never talked about or looked over. This firm dropped the ball. We worked with numerous

A & K proved a solid choice to handle my divorce. Jon and Belinda have a very good knowledge of the process and helped me identify and understand my options and adjust expectations. As a consequence, I felt I went into the arbitration with a good understanding of realistic possible outcomes, which is essential to avoid surprises and achieve a successful negotiation.

In 2017 I enlisted Atkinson & Kelsey, P.A. to represent me in a divorce proceedings.. Lucy Sinkular, Attorney and Belinda Demaree, Paralegal were assigned to my case. They both performed with a high degree of professionalism and effort to bring the case to a satisfactory conclusion. I felt that they were two friends working for me to get me through a rough period. I couldn’t have been more pleased with their work and I strongly recommend this team and their firm.

Tatiana Engelmann was absolutely incredible throughout our custody battle. She was fair, professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and always available to help. The process was seamless thanks to her relentless efforts. I would highly recommend her services. I hope to work with her again soon in our future adoptions.

Tatiana Engelmann is the best lawyer I know. She represented me in a family law issue and went above and beyond her call of duty. I would recommend Tatiana to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer, a family law issue, or any other issue. Tatiana worked my case the entire time I was overseas and I could not have asked for a better lawyer. The most likeable attribute Tatiana has is that she listens to you and always acts with your best intensions in mind. Do not look any farther then Tatiana!!

Mr. Robert P. Matteucci represented me in my 'collaborative' divorce. He was responsive to my requests and explained every step of the process such that I always felt comfortable that I understood the options and confident that he would both follow my guidelines as well as protect my interests. Bob effectively represented me and was efficient in applying his efforts to the case such that I felt that his time was always well spent. Interacting with Bob was pleasant as he was generally available, and easy to get along with, plus he always remembered who the client was and did not try to push the
