Staci Kelly Chisholm

Staci Kelly Chisholm believes that successful advocacy starts with setting her client’s expectations up front, followed by sound preparation, good faith negotiations and efficiency in processes. In Staci’s 18 years practicing exclusively family law, this foundation, she finds, is the best approach for families experiencing the angst of separation and divorce. Staci is a proud native of Quincy, Florida. She received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Business Economics from Florida A & M University. She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Economics from Florida State University and completed her Juris Doctor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Staci is a Supreme Court of Florida Certified Mediator. She is also trained in Collaborative Divorce which is a confidential, cost-effective approach to divorcing outside of court. Staci is a Former Board Member of Bay Area Legal Services and the Clearwater Bar Association. She is also the past Section Chair of the Family Law Section of the Clearwater Bar Association and a member of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar and a member of Canakaris Inn of Court. Staci volunteers her time assisting Bay Area Legal Services with their Family Law Forms Clinic in an effort to provide individuals with pro se legal assistance and partners with them providing limited representation to members of the community who cannot afford representation. Staci volunteers her time to provide legal assistance to the Clearwater Bar Annual Legal Fair which helps members of the community, regardless of income, with family law matters. Staci is passionate about helping the underserved in our community. She was the recipient of the first ever Clearwater Bar Association President’s Award for Excellence in Pro Bono Legal Services in 2017.
