Kelly A. VanDenHaute, Esq.

Why did you begin practicing this area of law in the first place?

I love being able to find solutions for our clients and feeling as if we have eased at least one of their issues.

Why do/should people want to and choose to work with you?

I work hard to find the right answer and will always be honest when dealing with clients.

What is your passion? What makes you tick?

My two little guys, Charlie and Finn.

What one quote resonates with you, either personally or professionally (or both)?

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
– Theodore Roosevelt

What else should we know about you?

Love to travel, Cleveland sports teams and hanging out with my family.

What's in your wallet/purse right this very minute? What do you never leave home without?

I typically just carry my phone, keys and credit card!
