This is the Law Team You Want!

Grateful for The Kelley Law Firm advocating & supporting what’s in the best interest of their clients. From our first meeting with Mr. John Kelley, to the ongoing support and notification with the firm, and with Cliff Frisbie overseeing and supporting the cases. The overall experience with the Law Fi...rm was always warm and supportive. My husband and I are very humbled and pleased with the settlements. If you are in need of a team that wants what’s best for you, look no further. Thank you Kelley Law Team and especially Cliff Frisbie for your time, support and efforts!

Kelly Law Team the Best in the West!

Being in a car accident can be one of the most stressful situations in your life. Not knowing who to turn to or what to do just adds to your worries and stress. I was referred to Kelly Law Team by a family member and I tell you this experience with them has been a big stress relief. Starting with th...e first initial phone call to see if they would be able to assist me was pleasing to my ears. My appointment was set and my amazing experience began! I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination Kelly Law Team provided. The whole staff is truly amazing! Throughout my case, Mr. Miller was always quick to respond to me, made himself available to answer all of my questions and let me tell you I had a lot of questions. Mr. Miller was so patient and he kept me updated with the status of my case throughout my experience. I will refer all my family and friends to Kelly Law Team. I would like to thank and commend Mr. John Kelly and his amazing team for truly showcasing customer support at its finest! Kelly Law Team the Best in the West!

What in awesome Lawyer!

In June 2016 I was in an accident. John and Gary helped me through this terrible time in my life. They were there when I needed them, kept me informed and made me feel safe! I trusted them in every step! Thanks again John Kelly and his law team!

Great lawyer

I hired John because of a terrible accident I had last year in march. He has helped me so much so far; great thing about his firm is that every time I ask something through email or phone they give you the answer, they are very professional. As a client is good to have the iniciative to ask anything ...about your case so they can give you a response as soon as possible. They are always trying to help as much as they can. Highly recomended!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
