I hired Evan Kelly to protect me from charges in the late fall of 2016. He promised me that he would be successful and that he would be able to have the incriminating charges dropped. He was not successful. I asked him if he would petition the court to have the dropped charges removed from my file an...d he said yes. He did not File the Petition. In August 2017 I approached Mr. Kelly with a plan to expunge all charges; he agreed to pursue with the District Attorney. All fines, restitution, Community Service, Drug Test, and responsiveness to the Probation Department was complete. He told me to get the concurrence of the Probation Department that they would not stand in the way of discussions with the District Attorney's office and to pay all fines. This was done. Mr . Kelly was provided a receipt from the Cashier's office. He never had the discussions . In addition, he denied me due process by not pursuing relief under the ARD Law for first time offenders. Although the law was targeted to DUI first time offenders , other cases had been successfully brought. I would not recommend his services to anyone; he told me he was unlike the other attorneys; he would do what he said, he would not overcharge me and he could be trusted. In the fall of 2018, I placed at least 10 phone calls and 5 emails to his office to discuss matters with him. He did not have time. I think he did not want to face up to his subpar performance. Because of his attitude, I had to hire another lawyer at a total cost of $1,100 including Court Fees to process expungement of dropped charges. And it was today that I learned from my attorney that Mr Kelly did not petition my case as an ARD matter. There is no record resident in the Chester County Courthouse.
