Kerry Wallis

After 20+ years in family law, here’s what I know: smart people can handle the truth. I help couples navigate complex divorces without unnecessary drama, wasted time, or costly mistakes. My clients appreciate that I don’t sugarcoat things—I give them the clearest path forward, grounded in experience, strategy, and respect for their ability to make decisions. My approach: → “Just in case” planning – We anticipate problems before they explode into expensive surprises → Reality-based strategies – I cut through unworkable ideas and keep the focus on what moves things forward → Practical focus – We solve problems and make decisions; emotional clarity often follows naturally → Complex asset expertise – Stock options, business valuations, inheritance tangles—I’ve untangled them all Background: Certified Family Law Specialist, former Morrison & Foerster attorney, and federal court clerk. What clients remember most: our mediations often have more smiles than tears, and yet everything still gets resolved. Referral sources say: “Kerry has a gift for getting people to see options they hadn’t considered—and helping them accept solutions better than the ones they came in with.” Whether I’m acting as mediator, collaborative attorney, or strategic advisor, my goal is simple: help people make informed decisions, protect what matters, and move forward with dignity intact. Best fit: Sophisticated couples facing complex financial or personal dynamics, who want clear guidance without unnecessary drama.
