Kelley McFadden is a seasoned, skilled trial lawyer. As a working professional I had a lot on the line. Needless to say, any kind of charges or arrest records would have jeopardized my career. Kelley’s cool, calm and collected approach instantly put my nerves at ease. I was fortunate to have her represent me. Kelley handled the interactions with the court and secured a verdict very positive to my situation. Kelley has the unique combination of common sense, people skills, and legal expertise. Some lawyers are only book smart, while others are only street smart -- Kelley is the total package. She is honest, hard-working, experienced, and very good at what she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Kelley was an absolute pleasure to work with. I ended up receiving multiple tickets and a mandated court appearance all due to a misunderstanding while being pulled over. She was able to get everything dismissed and left me only paying a small fine. She was quick with her responses when I reached out to her and gave me the peace of mind I needed.

Great attorney, very reliable. Always willing to speak to you.
I chose to have Kelley McFadden represent me in my case involving multiple drug charges. She was very helpful and always willing to speak in person or on the phone. She did a fantastic job in court getting me PBJ. Would recommend to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Professional! Personal! Knowledgeable!
Im from Philadelphia and was in Ocean City for my brothers wedding, unfortunately this amazing weekend ended up with me making an awful decision to drive a few minutes away for a late night snack and instead got my first DUI. I didn't have any previous arrests and so I was very upset and unsure of what to expect. All I knew was that my life was going to be ruined and I'd need a lawyer! Kelly came highly recommended to me by a family member who due to their occupation was familiar with her work and track record. I contacted Kelly and explained my situation. She could tell how upset I was, understood my concerns, and most importantly assured me my life wasn't ruined! The fact that I reside in PA, 3 hours away, didn't make things any easier but Kelly made sure it didn't make it harder. I was given our plan of action and told the things I had to do on my end in preparation for my day in court and she would continue to work on the case after reviewing the documents/discovery as they were recieved. Kelly emphasized how this would all be very helpful and beneficial to me and even helped find the correct programs that I could do in PA and be accepted in the MD courts. This was all done through scheduled phone conferences due to the fact we were 3 hours away. My day in court has since come and gone and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Thank you Kelly for the personal attention, understanding my concerns and how ashamed/embarrassed I was and for giving me the opportunity to fix it! Forever Grateful!

Family Matter
I consulted with, then hired Kelley Mcfadden. She was the 4th lawyer I had talked to. She was the ONLY individual who did something that was not necessary but greatly appreciated: she asked about how "I" was doing. She listened not only to the case but also my feelings. I am a very hands on individual. I wanted more reassurance but she gave me just enogh to calm me. This is because she is extroidinary! Unique individuals of this nature are rare. I wanted to take to her on a semi regular basis but I came to understand that she is one of the ones you can trust completely. It is ultimately better just to leave her mostly alone and let her do her job.
She tried getting my case dropped, dismissed, and other. In the end it stil went to trial. Things changed quickly but Mrs. Mcfadden adapted quickly. The opposing attorney was good.....but Kelley was better! Kelley was talkative and sweet to me, but in the court room she was a fierce lioness. I was in shock and awe as she showed a rare combination of intuition, intelligence, aggression, patience, and lawyer magic. To be honest I simply adore this woman and I don't want anybody to have her accept me!

Illegal possession of reg. firearm
This is our second time hiring Kelley McFadden to handle a case for us. She is very knowledgeable of the laws in the court system. She is also very nice, compassionate and understanding when it comes to you or your loved one being in difficult situations especially when the consequences could mean you possibly bebeing taken away from your loved one for some time. When it comes to situations like this I wouldn't want anyone else representing our family but her because you can't go wrong. She's gonna fight for you as if you were her own family and it doesn't get any better than that!
