2 DUIs back to back

Joe Kelly and his team helped me out tremendously. Somehow they did the impossible & was able to beat my cases. I was fighting a F2 felony and they beat it. Joe is straightforward and you may sometimes feel as if they forgotten about your case but trust me he has not!!!!! He beat both of my cases, wh...ich I believed was impossible to beat! 5 stars!!!!

Worry free

I didn’t never meet him or use him but I will now and can’t and I hope he make those cops look likes fools how they had me looking but my people said he will take good care of me and I said I hope he a fighter lol and his response was Yes he the heavyweight champ for 19 year, well with not meeting o...r talking to him I already decided I’m hiring him because just knowing of him and his reputation put me at ease I look forward meeting him.

Keeps You On Edge BUT Is Damn GOOD!!!

Joe Kelly and his staff pull no punches when it comes to your case and get results within means. Due to the excessive amount of people that you see in his office, I could see how you may look at it as if you are "just another dollar sign" walking through the door but I can assure you that your case i...s taken serious and they will work hard for you. Joe Kelly has one of the most respected and positive reputations in the court system. Many other attorneys cringe when he walks through the door out of fear of losing to him and they know he will give them a battle. Unfortunate for me, I have hired Joe and his team 3 times now: 1 Alleged Assault Charge which he had thrown out and was so good that people in the court room laughed at the prosecution and the witness; 1 restraining order hearing as a result of the assault charge which was also thrown out and now a DUI. I am hoping this is the last I see of Joe Kelly and although I am scared this time around, I have confidence Joe will do the best he can for me. As the defendant, we worry and look for all of the answers and sometimes you leave his office without knowing anything, no explanation and still worried but somehow he shows up and comes through without explanation. He knows what he is doing and just gets straight to the point but produces results. If you are looking for a lawyer to sweet talk you, Joe is not it. If you are looking to beat a case or have someone do the very best they can for your situation, then Joe Kelly and his staff are it!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"The negative review on Mr. Kelly's site is most likely an angry client who did not get what he or she was looking for; Mr. Kelly is hands down the best DUI lawyer in the City of Philadelphia, as a fellow lawyer, I can assure you that if I or a loved one was in trouble with a DUI, I would call Joe Kelly"
