About Kelley
Biography
I am certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a certified criminal trial attorney serving Somerset, Morris, Middlesex, Union, Essex, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Passiac, Bergen, and North Central New Jersey clients. As a former Morris County Assistant Prosecutor I was assigned to the major crimes unit. I handled the investigations and prosecutions of those charged with homicides, attempted homicides, aggravated manslaughter, armed robberies, and other significant, high profile crimes. I also ran the vehicular homicide, arson and environmental crimes unit. I oversaw the investigations and handled the prosecutions of those charged with assault by autos, vehicular homicide and aggravated manslaughter. I have extensive experience dealing with DWI/DUI charges in the context of assault by auto, vehicular homicide and aggravated manslaughter charges. Additionally, I have prosecuted first-degree narcotics, professional misconduct, fraud, burglary, theft, endangering the welfare of a child, sexual assault, sexual contact, witness tampering, weapons possession and various other criminal cases. I have worked with various state and federal law enforcement agencies and forensic disciplines in the investigation and successful prosecution of these matters.

Professional and effective
We retained Mr. Lavery to represent a family member in a criminal case and he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, accessible and, most importantly, effective, getting the charges dismissed and even expunged. We highly recommend his services.
