Finally able to move on with my life…

Patrick Kelley did an excellent job with my representation. What could have been a life changing experience in my life; turned into an extremely low level fine. I recommend him to anyone who needs professional representation. Thanks again Mr. Kelley…

Fierce and Compassionate Legal Advocate

Pat Kelley is the gold standard for legal defense. His wisdom and kindness guided me during the worst experience of my life. With over thirty-seven years of experience, Pat has deep relationships in the court system and a stellar reputation. He is able to analyze a case and to work with the court ...to achieve the best outcome. As a fellow attorney, I knew the difficulties with my case but Pat achieved an amazing outcome for me. You will receive the best representation from a truly wonderful attorney and person.

Highly recommend Patrick Kelley!!!

Mr. Kelley was recently my attorney. I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the job that he did on my behalf. During the many months that he represented my interests, he proved to be highly versed in the law, trustworthy, of great moral/ethical character, and a no-nonsense kind of guy. He ...kept me updated throughout court proceedings and didn’t leave me with any unanswered questions. I always felt like he was in my corner and that he was going to fight tooth and nail to get the best outcome for me...which he did! I’ve often joked that he is a shark of an attorney among minnows. I am so thankful that I had him as my attorney because he is a definite winner! If you ever need an attorney, do yourself a favor and hire the absolute best...Mr. Pat Kelley. (Thank you, Pat for everything!)

Look No Further THE BEST !!!!

Best Lawyer in the State of Virginia. Highly Recommended. Mr. Kelly is Top in his field. He worked continuously to have my charges dismissed. He was my needed angel on my shoulder.

Amazing!

Pat Kelley is amazing with his knowledge and his skills. He guided me through the appropriate steps I needed to take before my hearing and answered any concern I had about my charges and calmed my worries. I walked into the courtroom with 3 charges, a DUI being one of them and with his knowledge and ...skills I was found not guilty of my DUI, got a charge lowered, and I kept my simple speeding ticket. I'm thankful I had a great attorney on my side that saved me from a situation I never want to be in again.
