Kellie Lightbourn, Esq.

Kellie Lightbourn is a Florida attorney, former ABC legal anchor and host of Designing Spaces on Lifetime Television. After stepping away from television to raise her twins, her experience advocating for her son Niko, who lives with autism and Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, sparked a much greater purpose. What began as one mother fighting for her child grew into advocacy for the proposed Niko’s Law, focused on protecting children and families.
