"As sharp as she is cute. Kary Key is everything you’d want in a lawyer, she is also very personable. She isn’t just all about money, she truly cares for her clients and her cases. Kary takes pride in her work and is very classy and quick witted in the court room. My custody case has made a 180 degree turn around from what’s been happening in the last few years. I wish there was a “Kary Key” for everybody. Once, while waiting for our case to be heard, I casually asked her about law school and I learnt she was sponsored through college because of how bright she is. 10/10 Would recommend this diamond in the rough attorney to anyone who needs help and also know, she won’t just tell you what you want to hear either! Thank you Ms. Key for your talent and heart."

"The team at the Law Offices of Kary Key did an amazing job for me with my divorce. There was excellent and rapid communication from start to finish, the process moved along very quickly (as fast as the legal system allows), and, they were overall just wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them should you need legal help."

"She ignored all the evidence I gave her to fight my case and basically defended my ex. Then she suggested we hire an ad litem rather than do a home study with a licensed social worker. She lied and told me they don't do those anymore. I found out that's not true. Then the ad litem she assigned was the most inappropriate, unprofessional, unethical lawyer I've ever seen. I have so many stories of what happened that are too long to write here. Also, she charges an UNREFUNDABLE retainer which I found out later when I talked to other attorneys that that is unethical. A retainer should refundable if they do not complete the work. But because I signed a non refundable contract, I felt obligated to stick with her till it was all used up eventhough I begin to see that she was not defending me at all. She gave nothing but bad advice which had cost me EVERYTHING! And I'm still paying for it now. I showed her evidence of my ex being an alcoholic and she ignored it saying that the evidence wouldn't hold up in court. I had photos and everything but she disputed it all. Now my child talks about his dad being "passed out in the middle of the kitchen like he fell out of the chair" but he realized he wasn't dead because there was so no "red stuff" (blood). 😞"
