Third time's the charm

I was represented by Mr.Kelly in 2021 and he was amazing. The Superior Court judge I had to go Infront of is the type of judge that favors local representation. So I was nervous actually to be honest I was terrified. Due to this being my third lawyer for the same case I was feeling helpless. But as... they say third time's the charm. Mr Kelly handled my case like I was his only client even met with me at odd times and even on Sundays. He made himself available. He never once made me feel like I was a bad person or treated me like a criminal. He was compassionate and respectful. And he knew how to get around the judges tough exterior so it made court dates go smoother and a lot less stressful on me. Anyways great guy. Great lawyer.

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Kelly handled a legal matter for me and achieved great results. He is professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. I recommend him.

Posted by Suzanne | August 13, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Highly recommended!

Mr. Kelly recently represented me in traffic court for a speeding ticket. Prior to the court date, he was very prompt in responding to my initial inquiry and any questions I had. He explained everything clearly to me so I knew what to expect on the court date. We were in and out of the court withi...n minutes and I was very happy with the results. I highly recommend Mr. Kelly to anyone!
