Couldn't be happier with the outcome of the case

I had a DUI that was over 8 years old and had a bench warrant issued in my name. In addition to the DUI charge I was charged with evading the police, leaving the scene of an accident and criminal mischief. Steven clearly laid out the potential consequences while also identify the path forward. I w...as facing 5 days in jail just to clear the bench warrant but Steven was able to approach the judge and convince him for an immediate release. Once all was said and done Steven had the District Attorney drop the evading the police, leaving the scene of an accident and had my DUI charged lowered from a class 3 to a class 2. Steven leveraged his excellent relationship with the DA and I only received a $300 fine and 6 months of probation. No jail time, no license suspension. Steven exceeded my expectations by FAR. I couldn't be happier and I will highly recommend Steven Kellis.

Extremely pleased with the outcome of my case!

I was very happy with the service I received and the outcome of my case with Mr. Kellis as my attorney. I was arrested for DUI for the 2nd time in July 2012 with a tier 3 blood alcohol level. My first arrest was 16 years ago. Because of the first arrest I was unable to get into the ARD program and... it looked like I was going to lose my license for 1 year and receive a sentence of 3 days in prison. Mr. Kellis was able to negotiate with the DA to reduce my case down from a tier 3 arrest to a tier 1 which saved me from losing my license and spending any time in prison. I will be forever grateful for everything he did to help me through this very difficult situation.

I was satisified with the representation of Steven Kellis

I had the pleasure of hiring Steven Kellis to represent my son in his 2nd DUI case which occurred in February 2012. I located Steven online while surfing the web for a DUI attorney. While reading his web page, I also reviewed the comments of his past clients and from there I decided to contact him.... Steven’s response time was phenomenal. He patiently listened to our case and explained the worst case scenario for a 2nd DUI offense but was confident of an outcome of satisfaction. During our conversation, my immediate perception was that Steven’s dedication to representing clients is from the heart and that he is very knowledgeable of the laws for DUI offenses. My son and I agreed to hire Steven to represent his case. Steven carefully reviewed my son's first and second DUI cases. He then met with us to discuss his findings. He answered all of our questions in all honesty, never giving us false hope. We expressed our concerns if the outcome was that of the worst case scenario. Steven immediately went to work to ensure that we had an outcome that was to our satisfaction. During court sessions, Steven’s representation was awesome as evidenced in the outcome of the trial, we were most satisfied. I like Steven’s demeanor, he is personable, courteous, honest, and kind but most importantly, he is well versed in his profession. I would highly recommend Steven Kellis for representation of any DUI case.

THE BEST LAWYER IN DUI CASES

Mr. Kellis represented me in a DUI case that occurred in May of 2012. I chose Mr. Kellis for couple of reasons. First, he handles only DUI cases so I knew that he was an expert in the field. Second, after talking with several lawyers, one of the lawyers actually recommended talking with Mr. Kellis. T...he lawyer's response was that Mr. Kellis will give you an honest answer. From that point, I had a good feeling about Mr. Kellis. I met with Mr. Kellis and he reviewed my case. A quick rundown on my case: I was involved in a motorcycle and automobile accident with BAC level of 0.219% (tier 3). If you know a little about DUI cases, you know this is one of the worst cases. Right from the start, he was able to catch something that other lawyer didn't see in the criminal complaint. And he was the only lawyer that said he can get me into ARD program. Every other lawyers' response was that it was not possible because of the accident and victim or gave me the "we can try but..." answer. I decided to have Mr. Kellis represent me and from beginning to the end, he put me at ease. He was very response and kept me in the loop at all times. He definitely earned my trust quickly. Again, my case was one of the extreme ones (accident + victim + tier 3 BAC level) but Mr. Kellis persistently fought and defended my case. The ARD was initially rejected but that did not stop him from continuing to fight for ARD approval. He wrote an appeal letter and kept fighting for ARD approval. In the end, I got accepted into ARD program. I would like to thank Mr. Kellis for his expertise, persistency, and trustworthiness. Mr. Kellis will stand by you until the end and he will try everything possible to get the result you want. He is truly the best of the best in DUI cases. Thanks again, Mr. Kellis!

Thank you, Mr. Kellis

Steve Kellis is hard working, tenacious, and he gets results. He only does DUI cases, and he's a real professional in this specialized area. In my recent case, entry into the ARD Program (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program) was denied twice, despite a clean driving record. Mr. Kellis kept... pounding away, moving steadily up the chain of command in the District Attorney's office, until he won the hard-fought battle and saved me a host of problems. Things looked bleak for a while, but Mr. Kellis saved the day and I'm currently enrolled in the ARD Program. I recommend him strongly for your consideration.
