Outstanding Attorney

Gerald Kelly handled a horrendous, protracted personal tax problem for me and my husband. Mr. Kelly’s conscientious, knowledgeable and responsive representation prevented our personal assets from being levied. He was an aggressive advocate for us with the IRS to have penalties and other fees abated.... We would highly recommend his legal services to anyone who seeks highly personalized and competent attention to outstanding problematic tax matters. Clients with tax issues will likely not receive the trustworthy, attentive services Mr. Kelly provides, through an impersonal, toll free number, advertised through infomercial information.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
