Joseph Augustine Kelly

Attorney Kelly was AMAZING! My Mom had passed away, and we are located in CT. Very unfamiliar with NY LAW, we needed to make sure we had the right legal advice dealing with the transfer of REAL property. Attorney Kelly got the job done, in a timely manner, and executed all parts of the transaction... flawlessly. He will be handling all my NY legal matters for me and family in the future. Call him today for all your legal needs that he may service!

Joe helped my sister and I with all the legal elder care issues surrounding my mother's situation. My mother had a severe case of Vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It was a very difficult time for us, but Joe made everything easier for us by explaining things in clear, easy to understand t...erms. He was also very supportive and understanding of our feelings during a difficult time. He helped us find a good nursing home for our mom and he took care of the Medicaid application. He also was always available to answer questions about everything from dealing with doctors, handling taxes, Wills and probate vs. non-probate items. He is more than a excellent attorney. He is a very good man with a big heart. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of elder care legal advice and assistance!

I hired Joe Kelly by recommendation Joe started good to become my Mothers estate then he didn’t respond to my voice messages then after months he finally respond saying that he was sorry had personal problems...I spoke to Joe in March 2020 now 6 months went by I understand the coronavirus I started c...alling Joe to asked about my case he hasn’t returned my calls I don’t know what’s his problem is now I’m stuck with him I’m not going to hire another Attorney and start all over again I hope he returns my calls I’m sick of calling Joe and get no response....Good luck hiring Joe Kelly....

I was the executor of my mother's estate. Joe Kelly was recommended to me. I hired him - a decision I now regret. When I asked him about filing a certain paper, when he finally got back to me he told me there was an initial paper that had to be filed. I asked him why that paper had not been filed... months before and his non-answer was telling. Finally, the estate was concluded and I sent Kelly an affidavit to that effect, to be filed as part of the closing of the estate. I just checked the Westchester County Surrogate's Court and was told my affidavit was not filed and the estate is still "open." I don't know whether Mr. Kelly was going through problematic personal issues at the time, but my experience with him suggests that his handling of my mother's estate either was - or bordered upon - professional malpractice.

Joe was hired to help with an inheritance (by another party) and our experience has been so poor that I am obligated to warn others considering using his “services”. His specialty is elder-care and I have had to step in to help some frustrated elderly people that cannot get Joe to respond to calls or... emails. It was not until we threatened to report to the NY Bar association that any action started to happen and we started to get responses from email but Joe still can’t seem to provide clear guidance or consistent communication. This has been especially hard on the elderly people that hired him. Look elsewhere for quality service.
