Busy With Other Cases

Read the full review on Google. Attorney Kelley was hired after a few consultations concerning my lawyers conduct throughout my case.I was being falsely accused of Assault in a Civil case GD-11-011686 along with my grandmother's insurance due to me being her live-in caretaker.The police had conclude...d their investigation and stated in a report.Depp had a right to feel intimidated and defend himself,at minimum. After a in person meeting a check for $5000.00 was given to Clinton. Instead of doing research we were told for over a year he is busy with other cases.He could have said that before getting $5000.00. Essentially Attorney Kelley was fired due to not asserting a proper defense.Upon doing my own research this is a valid argument. PA.8340.2 gives civil immunity for use of force if it is justified.which my case was by the police.

Great Lawyer

Years ago, I met Mr Kelley from a situation a family member was involved with. He is one of the best attorney’s I have ever met. This has been approximately 18-19 years ago. I no longer live in Pa. I would recommend him to anyone. If I needed someone for anything in Pennsylvania he is someone I wou...ld contact.

Former Client

Clint Kelley handled my workmen's compensation case for me. He successfully protected my benefits and kept me on workmen's comp and then negotiated a lump sum settlement for me at the end of the case. I have recommended Attorney Kelley to other people who need a lawyer.

Former Client

Attorney Clint Kelley represented me in my motor cycle accident case. He helped me get the policy limits from one insurance company and the policy limits from 2 underinsured motorist policies. I would refer Attorney Kelley to other people who needed his services.

former client

I was involved in a rear end collision. Attorney Kelley helped me collect the policy limits from the driver that rear-ended me and the policy limits from the underinsured motorist policy limits. I have told other people to hire him for their injury cases and I am glad they did.
