I hired Kelli after a long battle with a divorce and custody case. Kelli helped us to navigate through the waters of what felt like a never ending mess. She has been professional and exactly what we needed especially in the courtroom. I would highly recommend her again and would definitely hire Kelli again if ever needed to hesitation.

I would highly recommend Kelli Day as your lawyer especially if you are a dad trying to obtain custody of your baby (or babies). Kelli did an outstanding job of ensuring all details were looked after. Kelli is an experienced professional that is thorough, pleasant, and goes to court prepared. Kelli respects timelines and acts quickly. Within three days of the first custody court case the babies (twins) were awarded 50% custody to their father. Kelli works well with other lawyers and handles herself in the courtroom with confidence. Kelli will look after your current needs, and will also challenge you to look at the big picture and your children's future. Kelli has changed our lives forever as these beautiful twin babies now get to spend 50% time with their dad and have the opportunity to meet family. We will be forever grateful for the work Kelli has done for our family.

If you have the opportunity to use Kelli Day as your legal counsel in your child custody case, you will NOT regret it. Kelli and her team go over and beyond each and every day. She truly cares for her clients and the children involved in her cases. You are not just another case number. She keeps you updated, and you don’t have to worry if things are being handled. She knows child custody/divorce law. Period. The new laws, the old laws and everything in between. Kelli took on my case that was challenging to say the least. She made methodical and precise moves to have the outcome move in my favor without even having to take it before the Judge in a trial. Albeit, if you should need her to fight your battles in the court room, she will do it with grace and tenacity. There’s not a better choice than Kelli Day for a Child Custody Attorney in the river region.

I knew talking with Kelly the first time that we (my son and I) found the right attorney to handle my granddaughters custody case. Kelly explained everything and talked with us and offered help when needed to understand the logistics of the case. Kelly and her staff worked their magic and showed us just what an amazing attorney looks like in court!! She absolutely won our case and got us exactly what we were after, more visitation with my son’s daughter and my granddaughter! If we ever have another issue again Kelly will be our outstanding attorney again!!

Attorney Day is the best lawyer in Alabama as it relates to family law issues and resolving family court cases. I highly recommend her; because she will work diligently on your behalf. Attorney Day is professional and has a vast knowledge of family law, child custody, grandparents custody and visitation rights, and ExParte petitions. Attorney Day's assistant is one of the best Para-legal professionals in Alabama as well.

I hired this lawyer by reference from a friend of mine in a similar situation I was in. Kelli was very understanding and even helped get me a very fast court date for an emergency case hearing. I would definitely recommend her in family court. Kelli was very willing to meet me at my convenience and made me feel very comfortable in front of the judge.

Attorney McDaniel was referred to me by an client that she opposed in a child custody case. This alone speaks volumes of the respect and professional opinion of this person regarding Atty. McDaniel. I found her to be talented and thoroughly knowledgeable and immersed in family law. My experience is that she is an empathic listener and attentive to details. I am a male that was seeking custody modifications and was very pleased with the outcome and her relentless and tenacious representation of me and the child. I recommend her to anyone that is seeking the best attorney in family law.

Kelli McDaniel Day represented me as the plaintiff in a Contempt of Court child support case. She is professional and knowledgeable of the law. She responded to calls timely and provided straightforward explanations. She was relentless in court. She addressed everything that I requested and more! She was not the first lawyer that I hired in Montgomery, AL, but she is the first attorney that I highly recommend.

I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family attorney.

I've used Kelli Day more than once. All of these were during a very trying time in my life. She had a sympathetic ear and made me feel comfortable with the situation I was dealing with however, she was also very frank and did not beat around the bush in explaining the law and what needed to be done. She pushed me, encouraged me and worked diligently to settle my legal woes. She did an outstanding job and I will always use her as my attorney should I need her again.

Kelli McDaniel represented me in my divorce and then a custody battle several years later. With both situations, she worked really hard to help me get what I wanted. The custody situation got really bad, but Kelli didn't let that interfere with her performance. In the end, She won it for me. Kelli is very good at what she does. She is always available to her clients. I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so in the future.

Kelli was wonderful to have as an attorney with the adoption of our daughter. She made everything so easy and always was quick to calm me down when I'd call her with frantic questions.

My husband was going after custody of his 3 children and his ex was in another state. Kelli worked so hard for us, and ultimately his ex backed down because she researched and heard Kelli was a "bulldog". Since then I have referred every friend in need to her!

would not recommend Kelly as an attorney based on my experience. Throughout my case, I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously and that my side of events was rarely considered. It often seemed like anything the opposing attorney said was accepted without question, while my explanations were dismissed. Even during one of the programs she placed me in, another professional involved questioned her approach and whose side she was representing. For example, there was a situation where the opposing attorney accused me of chasing her down the road and harassing her on the phone. Kelli called me and began yelling and cursing at me. At the time, I was standing in a parking lot with a witness, Pam Cutrell. I handed the phone to Pam, and she confirmed that I was with her and had not been chasing anyone or doing anything wrong. I was also very concerned about the financial transparency. I paid a $5,000 retainer and repeatedly emailed asking for an accounting of how much remained. I never received a response. I also requested my case records and was told there were no records available. Additionally, I was required to pay $3,000 for a psychiatric evaluation that ultimately was never used in my case. Overall, I felt unheard, unsupported, and left without clear answers about how my money was used. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend her services.
