About Kelly
Biography
In 1999, I began a career as a criminal defense attorney. Since then, I have represented thousands of clients in Virginia. I tell clients the truth and have been thought to be a little to blunt at times, but I don't believe in sugar coating a serious situation in order to get new clients. I like to know I can do something to help a person before I accept them as a client.

She explained probation before judgement was not available for me and if other attorneys promise things I will most likely be dissappointed. I thanked Ms. Sprissler for being straightforward. In addition, I tried to contact three o...
