Kelly Pritt, Esq.

Background: Kelly is a divorce and child custody lawyer, largely based upon her experiences as a small child. Kelly grew up in Buffalo, New York. Her parents were divorced when Kelly was only four years old. Through this, she experienced the devastation of her mother not having a competent lawyer.

Kelly vowed at a very young age that she would become a lawyer that her clients could trust to get the best results.  Kelly believes that no parent or child should have to suffer like her family did due to the results of a lawyer who lacked compassion, dedication, and competence.

Kelly graduated magna cum laude with honors from Niagara University with a B.A. in Political Science. While at Niagara, Kelly participated in many community service projects, including Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, and an afterschool program where she helped children from broken families learn how to cope with the difficulties of life.

In 2002, Kelly volunteered in national United States Senate campaigns in New Hampshire, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Kelly was also highly involved in children's advocacy while working at the Girl Scout Government Relations Office in Washington, D.C., where she lobbied the United States Congress to pass legislation increasing educational and recreational opportunties for young children.

Kelly also met her husband Chris at Ohio Northern University and has chosen to make West Virginia her home.  Before Chris and Kelly chose to open their own law practice, Kelly previously worked at Lyne Ranson Law Offices, where she gained significant experience in a variety of matters ranging from simple divorces to complicated multi-state child custody issues. 

Kelly resides in Dunbar, West Virginia with Chris.  She is an active member of Christ the King Catholic Church.
