In February of 2009, I was arrested in Philadelphia and charged with DUI. Unfortunately, it was not the first time this had happened. Facing significant jail time and the subsequent loss of my job, career, home and personal freedom, I reached out to Mr. Kellis after reading about his experience onl...ine. Steven agreed to take my case and thus began our journey. In the months that followed, an additional charge of felony fleeing was added by the DA's office further complicating my case and seriously jeopardizing any kind of favorable outcome. Obviously, I was in an arduous position with little hope. In the end, it came down to Steven's acute knowledge of of the law, his experience on both sides of the bench, his excellent negotiation skills and his ability to think quickly and act precisely when presented with opportunities in court. Thanks to Steven's exemplary representation, the felony fleeing charge was ultimately dropped and a plea was negotiated resulting in minimal disruption to my personal life. I chose to work with the right attorney whose experience proved to be far more valuable than I could have imagined. Without Steven's help, I'd most likely be sitting in jail right now - a sobering fact which I am reminded of every day. If you are in any kind of trouble with DUI/DWI, you need an experienced attorney to represent you in court. Give Mr. Kellis a call - you'll be glad you did.

In the summer of 2020, I was involved in a collision in Philadelphia that resulted in my being detained and charged with DUI. This charge jeopardized my entire professional life—i.e. I faced losing my job, not being able to complete my graduate program, and not being able to obtain a state-issued cre...dential. I have a history of serious mental illness, and at the time of the incident, was in an unstable and agitated psychological state. I refused to submit to chemical testing. Due to all of these circumstances, I faced some of the most aggressive penalties that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can pursue against a first time offender. Fortunately, Mr. Kellis, with his experience and expertise in both criminal—particularly DUI and related offenses—and civil law, was able to get me into ARD (which I was able to complete early) and have my driving privilege restored without any stipulation. While the whole process was very long (and even more so due to the Covid-19 pandemic), Mr. Kellis was persistent in providing the best representation possible for me in both my criminal and civil cases. Throughout this ordeal, it became evident to me that Mr. Kellis has an intimate knowledge of Pennsylvania's laws and has a good rapport with those who enforce them. Mr. Kellis made sure that I knew what my options were, what the possible outcomes were, and his plan to achieve the best one possible. Finally, Mr. Kellis is very busy and did not always return my calls. However, I started calling him early in the morning (approximately 6-7am) whenever I needed to address something with him. When doing that, Mr. Kellis always took my call and promptly addressed any concern I had. Thank you, Mr. Kellis, for all of your help through this ordeal!
