About Kelley M.
Kelley M. Huff earned her B.S. in political science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2002. She went on to study law at Widener University Delaware School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2007. Those academic years set a foundation in both the theory of government and the mechanics of litigation.
After law school she built a practice rooted in Delaware and Pennsylvania. She is admitted to the bars of both states and has served in roles that bridge litigation and dispute resolution. The Delaware State Bar Association has certified her as an arbitrator, a credential she has used in private practice and in court-connected matters.
Huff has taken on responsibilities in professional organizations that shape local rules and family law policy. She has been a member of the Delaware Superior Court Civil Rules Committee since 2013, working on issues of procedure and case management. She joined the Delaware Family Law Commission in 2017, a role that involves review of statutes and practice standards affecting families. In 2018 she became Vice Chair of the Women and the Law Section, a position she continues to hold.
Her involvement extends beyond state committees. She belongs to the American Bar Association and the American Association for Justice, and has participated in the Richard S. Rodney Inn of Court since 2007. She has been listed as a Triad member since 2009. Those affiliations indicate a steady engagement with continuing education, peer review and courtroom craft.
Colleagues describe Huff as methodical in preparation and plainspoken in court. She balances courtroom work with alternate dispute resolution. The arbitrator credential reflects that balance; she handles matters that settle at the table as well as those that proceed to trial. Her procedural experience on the Civil Rules Committee informs how she frames pleadings and motions, and it shapes the practical advice she gives clients about timing and strategy.
She practices at Shelsby & Leoni, where she combines litigation, client counseling and arbitration work. Her caseload includes matters that draw on family law practice and civil procedure experience. She continues to serve on state commissions and committees while maintaining an active practice focused on family law, civil litigation and arbitration.
