“I'd like to convey my experience having David Kellem as my attorney during my divorce. My situation was quite difficult both technically and emotionally for me during this process. David handled my uneasy state with compassion and firm, calm guidance. His response to aggressive and extremely negative, dirty tactics from my wife's lawyer was met with a "take the high road" position of a superb gentleman, and controlling the situation with intelligence and inner calm. His self-assured, yet never arrogant, demeanor combined with his tremendous communication skills (personally and professionally) literally saved my life and those things most important to me. I will always be thankful to know David personally and grateful for his most excellent work on my behalf.”

David and his team could not have been more caring, compassionate and comforting during the entire ordeal. He made me feel like I was not just a client to him, but also a personal friend. That was exactly what I needed from him at the time.

“David Kellem represented me several years ago in a very emotional divorce. As anyone who has been through a divorce will tell you, it can be a very painful process, one that can stir a range of emotions and leave you with many sleepless nights. In my particular case, it was an unwanted divorce from someone that I had spent 2/3 of my life with. The feeling of losing the life and happiness I had experienced for the previous twenty plus years, can be and was overbearing at times. David and his team could not have been more caring, compassionate and comforting during the entire ordeal. He made me feel like I was not just a client to him, but also a personal friend. That was exactly what I needed from him at the time. The ups and downs that the divorce process brings can be maddening. The delays of the court system, the gamesmanship of the opposing lawyers, the input of family members on both sides etc. can be enough to break someone that doesn't have the complete support and backing that David's team provided to me during this time. David worked diligently on my divorce and was fully engaged at all times. He kept the lines of communications open between the two sides. When emotions got too high, David would step in to calm things in a very positive and productive way. His communication skills and his fairness to both sides, is what I feel allowed us to remain friends long after “the dust settled.” In short, no one wants to go through a divorce, but if you find yourself in this unfortunate position, I would highly recommend you contact David Kellem to help you negotiate your way through the process.”

“As my divorce lawyer and mediation counselor before, during and after my divorce, David was instrumental in moving our divorce proceedings along quickly....we were divorced in like 3 months! David is intelligent, honest, caring, detailed and nice! He really wanted a fair and reasonable outcome when it was all said and done. As a result, 5 years later, my ex-wife and I are good friends, my kids are happy and healthy, I see them all the time, though it's not perfect, it's divorce.”

I recommend his firm wholeheartedly.”

“I had the good fortune to engage Renee and David as my attorneys when I was going through my divorce. Without their patience and guidance, I am not sure where I'd be today. They helped me prioritize, stay calm, take a long view, and keep everyone's best interests (my child's most of all) in mind throughout. Even after the papers were signed, they've remained available to help me with questions and concerns as life moves forward. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Renee is the Calm in the Storm

“Renee was referred to me last year when I started the divorce process. One year later, I have to share that her services as an attorney went above and beyond my expectations. As a full time working mom of five with a busy schedule, I had no problem meeting with Renee or getting in touch with her via phone or email whenever I needed to. That was the biggest plus, that I always felt she was working for me and my family. Now that the process is over, the peace of mind I felt when hiring Renee is still there and I would recommend her highly to anyone who is not only looking for a true professional, but also someone who truly cares about her clients and keeps things in perspective which can be so difficult when going through such an emotional time. Feeling stronger today than I did back then. I'm now able to move on with my life, thanks to Renee.”

“I chose to work with David Kellem to help me prepare for my divorce, having had no personal experience with an attorney. He carefully walked me through the divorce process and provided helpful and accurate information of what I might expect. His office had the necessary resources and staff available to help me sort out an unusually complicated financial situation which gave me the confidence to know how to negotiate with my spouse responsibly and fairly. Our divorce is now complete and we were able to avoid a lengthy and painful dissolution of our marriage.”

“Renee was so full of valuable information and reasonable advice throughout my divorce process. She answered nearly all communication within a day, often within a few short hours. This is a plus when one is going though the tension of a divorce. The confidence I had in her expertise was a comfort. Now, with my divorce three years in the past, my life is all the better due to her service. Areas she covered in the agreement were child custody, division of marital assets and even expectations around the conduct of each party to protect the children from anger and spiteful negativity. Lastly, the fact that she provides the caliper of service that she does for a reasonable fee is wonderful.”

The level of service was extraordinary and consistent

“My ex-wife and I mediated our divorce with David Kellem. His office delivered the kind of relatively pain-free result that my ex and I had hoped to achieve when we chose the mediation route. We were carefully and painlessly walked through every step of the process. Every question or concern was addressed in a timely and thorough manner. The level of service was extraordinary and consistent, and delivered with the kind of sensitivity and compassion that one hopes to receive when going through what can be a difficulty and emotional time – especially when moments of potential conflict arose.”

Excellence + Professionalism + Commitment = Renee K. Mahoney

Read More

“I don't think I'm able to say enough great things about Ms. Mahoney. She not only handled my case professionally, she also made the entire process of divorce easier to understand and manage (both legally and emotionally). She was very responsive and answered any questions or concerns that I had and kept me informed quite often throughout the entire process. Her expertise in Family Law made her the optimal choice to represent my interests and in that way I dare state that she also represented my son's interest too. Divorcing is a difficult situation made even more cumbersome when there are children or a child involved. She understood my situation and tailored my case as appropriate. There are times when people need legal representation and need to be able to trust a lawyer with their most personal/private information, Ms. Mahoney is one such person to trust in the circle of Family Law. When I first came across Ms. Mahoney, I was online searching for a lawyer and uncertain about my future. I was hurt, sad, I felt awful. I recall the very first meeting with Ms. Mahoney, it was very helpful. She understood me right away (she also kept a box of tissue handy because I couldn't stop crying). It was not until 1 year later (2011) when I came to the difficult decision to divorce, but the choice of representation for my divorce was EXTREMELY easy, I knew I wanted Renee K. Mahoney. I do feel truly blessed to have come across Rene Mahoney (it was completely by chance) and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Family Lawyer for their domestic situation.”

Blessed with an amazing attorney!

“I came across Renee's profile as I was searching for someone to represent me in divorce. Her profile hit me and I just knew that she was just what I was looking for. I sent her an email and before I left the website she called me. We talked for a few minutes and I got a terrific feeling just by her voice and the fact that she said right off she knew how difficult divorce was and she, more than anything, was sensitive to a clients feeling throughout the entire proceedings. Although, painstaking at times, Renee continuously made me feel like I was "the" most important client she had...she never rushed me off the phone, she returned every phone call promptly, even though I know that sometimes I just wanted to talk. Renee kept me abreast of everything that was going on through emails and phone calls. I was privy to any information that she received from the opposing attorney. I was never left in the dark as was my ex husband. When we had to go to court I was never unprepared for what was going to happen since Renee explained everything to me each time. I was able to trust her help in making some very difficult decisions because I could tell that she absolutely had my best interest in mind. Something that I feel was tantamount in Renee's dealings with me was that she was well aware of the financial burden that my divorce was putting on me and she maintained what she had told me at our first meeting when she said that she would get the divorce done as efficiently as she could with as little financial cost as possible. Just as important, Renee tried so very hard to keep the case amicable when my husband's lawyer made it quite obvious that the more the case lingered, the more money she would make, caring nothing about the constant tension that she created unnecessarily between my ex and myself. I can honestly say that I would recommend Renee to anyone (I have already told so many people how wonderful she was). I have heard horror stories about attorneys and after watching Renee and my husband's attorney I see how one attorney can be so genuinely caring (Renee) and one can be all about herself and how much money can be sucked out of a client (that would be his attorney). If you ever need an attorney who will treat you with total respect, get the job done in a timely manner and honestly care about your feelings you should go to Renee Mahoney from Rockland MA. There was not one negative aspect to how she got my divorce done.........and she will do the same for you.”

“David Kellem is the consummate professional. Highly experienced in Family Law, superb academic credentials, and a unique passion to support transitioning families through the difficult process of divorce. David navigated our family with grace, compassion, patience, and expertise. He possesses the unique ability to empathize with highly emotional topics, distill tough issues down to their root causes and ultimately facilitate a successful, mutually beneficial and enduring agreement. The family court system is ill-equipped and too overwhelmed with cases to make informed decisions regarding the future of your family. Mediating with David’s firm is a better way!”
