We were referred to Kelly by a friend to assist with our custody agreement for an upcoming military move by a close friend. We are a same sex couple and the advice we were given was absolutely invaluable. Kelly went above and beyond to ensure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. It is clear that the firm is more concerned with helping their clients than profits and it shows based upon their support and willingness to assist. Kelly was genuinely interested in both us and our wellbeing as parents. Absolutely amazing and we would refer Knies, Helland, and McPherson to everyone we know!!!!

Lost a case where my ex moved to another city with my two daughters without any court approval. She enrolled them in a third school without my consent. I submitted emails and text messages months prior to the trial but none were used for exhibits. Now my daughters are going to a garbage school hours away and living with my ex wife's felon boyfriend who was previously arrested for murder and selling narcotics. To be fair, the judge was completely biased for the "mom" in the case. I'm not sure why that is the case given all of the history we provided the lawyer.

Jennifer is a force to be reckoned with in and out of court. Despite all the odds stacked against me, she was able to secure custody and amiable divorce terms when all seemed lost. Definitely was a blessing in my life.

Called this office originally at the referral of a friend whose Ex had been represented by Jennifer Hellund. His advice to me was “she is who you want!!” That in and of itself spoke volumes to me. Spoke with their office manager Ruth who is an absolute pleasure and capable of handling people who are beyond stressed and super emotional. She set me up with the soonest available appointment with Jennifer. Unfortunately circumstances forced my hand and suddenly I had a court date in 10 days, the day before my initial interview!!! I called the staff of Knies, Helland, and McPherson in a panic! They were completely professional and dedicated to getting me representation I was comfortable with. When I arrived at their office for my initial meeting I was warmly greeted by the staff and amazed by the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Ezra was faced with a 10 day deadline when I hired him. With little lead time he rose to the challenge, kept me informed, managed my expectations and provided me with everything I needed to make our time in court a success. Ezra is a complete professional with the heart of a teacher. He walked me thru my case, his vision forward, the best and worst outcomes and our plan for each. He helped sort thru what would support our argument and what didn’t matter in the eyes of the court. In the end I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to have my back. The whole staff of Knies, Helland, and McPherson is professional, friendly and dedicated to their clients. I have already referred them to a friend.

Knies, Helland & McPherson is the group you need. I've been in custody issues for years. After one meeting with Kelly, she knew what I wanted and had a plan. Kelly and her team kept me up to date on everything, and I was able to deal with the rest of my life knowing she had it under control. We walked out of mediation with me getting what I was asking for. I've already recommended Kelly and her team to others. This is the group you want in your corner especially if your Military or Prior Service.

I have to start off by saying that my case seemed unwinnable due to me being naive and signing documents I didn’t understand during and at the finalization of my divorce the previous year.

Kelly came highly recommended, having an outstanding reputation as a family attorney. I hired Mrs. McPherson to gain custody of my kids and to allow me to give them the childhood they deserve. The staff was very friendly, accommodating to my needs, and made me feel like I was part of their family. I vented, laughed and cried with nearly everyone there. Their professionalism in the courtroom and with other legal contacts was exemplary throughout the entire process.

Through the months of dealing with a very messy, lengthy legal battle, she kept me informed, and ahead of the game. She ran everything through me first for my approval, and helped me make the best decisions for my kids. With her expertise, I was able to take the moral high ground and not allow myself to to fall into “dirty laundry” fighting with my ex.

I felt well prepared when we went into the court room. I was very impressed with the amount of time and effort she and the law firm devoted to my case. Often I would receive emails late in the night and weekends, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Mrs. McPherson and her law firm to anyone who needs legal services.

I have been very blessed to work with all the amazing women at Knies, Helland & McPherson- from the first time I walked into this office I felt safe, comfortable, respected and I was worth someone fighting for.

Kelly McPherson always made sure I was protected and prepared in every step of this journey. She went above and beyond in her service to me and I thank her integrity and compassion in this difficult time in my life.

All I learned was “Family Law is not about Justice” and wasted thousands.

Choose wisely, you are only important here if your case is a “slam dunk”.

I would not recommend this firm and more specifically Jennifer Knies. She was our CFI and it was the most awful experience we've ever had. She was not interested in facts or finding the truth. She did not give our family a chance, she only catered to the other party who paid for her services and who had a lawyer. Ms. Knies lied in her official report, made huge, peraonal assumptions about our family and it devastated us. She was not fair or unbiased as she was supposed to be. I do not trust this law firm, and would never encourage anyone to use them. Extremely unprofessional and her poor judgement had lasting effects on our kids and our family.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. Kelly McPherson took time to understand my issues and thoughtfully and thoroughly planned for my trial. At trial, she was responsive to the witnesses and testimony and was able to adjust her approach to make sure that the judge heard us. She’s a natural in the courtroom.

Kelly McPherson did an outstanding job with my long and tedious case. From day one she started helping me and never hesitated to give me honest advice and care. The entire office staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. When I went in looking for a reliable attorney I was pleased at how quickly Kelly came to my rescue. With only one day notice I was able to retain her and she came to court with me the next morning ready to fight for me. If I ever need another attorney I will definitely be returning to this firm.

Ezra and his crew (Jessica especially) were extremely professional and were the most pleasant people to work with in an otherwise stressful divorce matter. Even though they represented the other party, their interactions with me (pro se) were nothing short of cordial and informative in representing their client in the most appropriate manner. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone needing good, strong legal representation.
Respectfully,
Chris

Kelly McPherson is an amazing attorney, she literally save my son's life by fighting in court for full custody and sole decision making, her questions were so smart, she was very confident in trial, the judge even told me at the end of the trail "Mrs. McPherson did a great job representing you today", I would highly recommend her!.
Also her staff is amazing and very professional!
Thank you Kelly for everything that you did for my family!

Kelly was truly an amazing attorney from beginning to end with my divorce. She is caring, listens to what was needed and made sure I was well represented the entire process. She truly cares about her clients and takes care of the hard stuff so that my stress level wasn't as high as it could have been. I highly recommend her and her partners if you ever need an attorney for family/divorce matters. Yes, she went above and beyond to ensure I was well represented!!!!

My divorce is complex, and I have two children. I didn’t know what to do or where to go.
Fortunately, Knies, Holland & McPherson’s have been so helpful. And their office is so nice! Everyone there is so friendly and wants the best for me.
They make it easier to cope through this frustrating time by working ever so diligently. They do the hard work!
That helps alleviate some stress, so I can focus on my children, and live in the present.
I do not know where I’d be without them.

Thank You So Much!

Unfortunately, I have to give at least one star to even leave a review, but in all honesty, I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone! Run! Stay away! By the time your case is over, Kelly will be working for your ex while you fit the bill! We probably spent double on this case because the psycho ex refused to participate or cooperate in any way! Should have been a slam dunk of a case, right?! Nah, not when you have Kelly working for your ex! She couldn't even get us awarded reimbursement for all the extra fees we paid, and even charged us $400 MORE at the end of the case because the psycho didn't cooperate yet again!! She advised us poorly on what to do during the case, which is why I feel that we had a less than desirable outcome. She spoke often to the psycho and at one point advised her NOT to provide her income information because she would have to pay more child support. How nice of her! I really feel like we spent over $15,000 just to bend over and take it. I wouldn't mind all the money spent, or even losing the case, had I truly felt that at the end, she was sincerely doing what was best for us. But it absolutely did not appear that way. Good luck to you if you decide to go this route. You're gonna need it.

Very skilled and well respected in the legal environment. Excellent customer interaction, and brief yet very effective meetings. The staff was excellent, and Kelley demonstrates to me why she is highly regarded. If you are going for a battle, you want this team in your camp.

I called KHM for what might have been an expensive request. Instead, the next morning they called to explain that they had researched how I could easily handle things by myself, and avoid any legal fees! What a friendly, considerate and professional operation - thanks!

The women that work here are so rude and racist. They are cold hearted and evil. I would find another law office if you want caring and professional lawyers that will treat you with respect no matter the color of your skin.

I would highly recommend anyone to Kelly! She is beyond amazing and is someone who truly cares about her cases. The whole team and office assistants were beyond amazing. There is no word for how much they have done for us and how great they were. We never felt like our case didn’t matter and when things got hard they were my rock. These ladies are truly a blessing and we are so thankful and lucky that we were able to work with them. We have never been treated so fairly and had never had people fight so hard for us. Best attorney office in the springs hands down!

These people use Instacart shopping and delivery service for office supplies. They seem so nice and are all smiles when the order is dropped off. After you leave they remove the tip they initially left. How pathetic!

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson for your family law case. I have recommended them to many friends and acquaintances. I have had prior cases with these amazing lawyers and know they are honest in their approach and work ethic. If you are getting divorced or having child custody issues, call KHM!

Kelly McPherson is amazing brilliant and helped me finalize a long and difficult divorce. Ezra Hurwitz assisted while Kelly was out and was equally as amazing! They both listened and communicated well which kept me balanced during the process. I highly recommend the entire team of professional and compassionate attorneys, paralegals and administrators.

Jennifer was amazing. Very compassionate, and thorough. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney. She was meticulous, and fought incredibly hard for me. Her staff is top-notch. Very responsive, and always very friendly. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone!

Due to mis-information from a mediator, we found ourselves needing an attorney quickly to help facilitate a legal name change for one of my children. Knies, Helland, and McPherson were recommended to us by a very well-respected attorney in town. Ezra Hurwitz took our case and was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The office staff was respectful and communicated well. Each time I was there, they made me feel comfortable and cared for. Ezra does his homework and tries hard to find a solution that will lessen the negativity on a young person's life. He is smart and compassionate. I appreciated how he guided me step-by-step as to what would happen and prepared me well for court. Ezra will research what he does not know. If you need an advocate involving LGBTQ matters, I recommend Ezra Hurwitz who, I believe, will treat you with respect and compassion.

Kelly Mcpherson was recommended to me by two different sources, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire this firm to represent me in court. Being out of state, it was very difficult for me to do what was needed for a child custody matter that had been ongoing for two years. This matter had been going on for far too long had been resolved in just a few short weeks working with Kelly. She presents a fierce presence in court, and it was comforting to know that I had that type of representation. Professionalism, consistency, and a powerful offense is something every person should consider before stepping foot into family court, and I found that and more at Knies, Helland, and McPherson Attorneys at Law.

Being a father in a custody case with an infant can be overwhelming and give the feeling that all the cards are stacked against you. These situations can sadly and rapidly become very ugly.

On a recommendation from a close friend I hired Kelly McPherson. By doing so I put my daughters and my relationship, safety, health and future in her hands.

Kelly is absolutely brilliant and the epitome of professionalism. Kelly’s structure, focus and knowledge of the court system is unparalleled. Kelly will work in your best interest to keep the matter civil and walk the high road while putting my interests and my daughter’s wellbeing above anything else.

Kelly is extremely knowledgeable in family law and very strategic with her cases. Once you are in the courtroom, you realize what you have been paying for, and if your case does go to trial, you will not come up short with Mrs. McPherson’s representation.
I was amazed at the results. She truly cares about my daughter and me and successfully fought for what is important to us while helping me maintain perspective along the way.

I was fortunate to have Kelly McPherson as my divorce lawyer -- she was effective, efficient, and very professional throughout the entire process. I am active duty military and Kelly proved to be a critical asset in my corner when it came to ensuring various military-related aspects of my situation were taken care of in a manner that minimized my stress level. I have already recommended and will continue to recommend KHM to anyone needing legal help!

Jenni Helland has been my attorney for the last year, and will most likely be on retainer for the foreseeable future. I went through an incredibly difficult and complex custody and divorce battle that lasted over a year, and will most likely be ongoing for the next 15 years. There were interstate issues, multiple experts and evaluations that were required, and so many more issues that are too many and extreme to list. Jenni is intelligent, competent, and one heck of an attorney to have on your side in court. If your case is contested, you want an attorney who has a good reputation with the court, and can deliver in the courtroom when it matters. Jenni is all of that and more. She is not someone you want to be on the other side of during cross examination. Through all of the difficulties and circumstances, she has been there with answers and support. When all was said and done, I received primary custodial custody of my son, and he finally has the stability he needs. In the end, that is what really matters. If you care about the well-being and future of your child, Jenni Helland will do whatever is in her power to make sure that is the end-state. She cares about her clients, and she cares about the kids in the case, and has the professional ability to follow through. There's not much more you could ask for in a lawyer.

What an amazingly talented group of staff and attorneys! It's hard to believe they only opened the doors a few months ago. The firm is already running smoothly and professionally like they've been serving the community for years!

I had the privilege to work with the entire team while planning their Open House. During the Open House I overheard many conversations between seasoned attorneys and professionals who were thoroughly impressed with the firm itself and the work they are doing. They provide the kind of personal attention and unique background that you won't find at larger firms. It isn't easy to make a name for yourself so quickly, but KHM has done it!

I would recommend them in a second!

They cancelled our appointment AFTER we paid prior to our scheduled time, are trying to fall back on informarion supposedly contained in some mystery invoice they claim to have sent out via email that neither myself nor my wife has received (in either inbox or spam file), cannot provide a date and time they sent it out on, rescheduled the consult and told my wife they would call her on the day of the consult as we live out of state (which i even had her double check that because that sounded fishy to begin with) and then turn around say "oh you were supposed to call".
I do not recommend these people at all. I hope, for their client's sake, their moral and ethical practice of law surpasses their business ethics but I do not know. We still have not received our consult as the last I heard from their office manager about a refund was that she would "discuss it with the attorney and let me know".

Update:
The $150 consult fee has been refunded.

What an amazing firm to work with. I was hired to stand up the Technology/Comms for this new Law Firm. As you might imagine, that required close and detailed engagement with every person in this Firm. The Law partners are professional, kind and a pleasure to work with. The staff was equally impressive and kind.

I focus on kind, as they are dealing with clients going through very tough times in their lives. In the many hours/days I was there onsite i heard amazing empathy and kindness. I saw and heard tears and angst of clients turned to smiles and hope for a better tomorrow.

If you are looking for representation in Family Law, I can't imagine working with a better team.

Just Amazing!
