Awesome

I didn't do it as they say. He did a great job for me. 83/55 speeding ticket was dropped to nothing. I still have a clean driving record.

The best and most experienced

I got an advertisement letter in the mail among many. I got many quotes but to me I feel like I hit the jackpot with Sidney Kelsey. First, all of the other letters seemed threatening and made me uncomfortable. I called Mr. Kelsey's office because his letter was very genuine, second, he was understand...ing and realistic about my case. His fees were so reasonable and so I decided to go with him. I wasn't able to make it the first time to court so he got me a continuance. When the date came he got it dismissed and I am such a happy person thanks to him, in my opinion people who complain about their attorneys do not follow their advice, that's what they are there for!

Great Results. Thanks!

Mr. Kelsey is a very knowledgeable attorney. I really appreciated the way he handled my traffic case and with great results. He was always very responsive when I contacted him and always kept me informed as to the status of my case. Thanks!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hired this attorney to represent me for a minor traffic violation. He charged me 500 dollars (not incl court cost) and had my case extended because he didnt like the judge. He requested that I take a Driver Improvement Course which I paid 69.00 for and completed, as well as completed a calibratio...n test and paid for. After all of that and getting him my driving record he only could get the ticket dropped down to 9 miles over. I have NEVER had an attorney who could go in with all of that info and not get a ticket dropped to improper equipment. Sidney Kelsey will not get my money anymore!!!

Great experience with this attorney

Had a surprisingly good result in court with Mr Kelsey. I committed a 'crime', so I wasn't expecting to get off completely... But I did. Just had to pay court costs, like anyone else. Anytime you use an attorney, it costs $$$ and it's a risk. Also depends on the judge and circumstances IMO. His e...xperience tells all. Very knowledgable, realistic and is quite a fighter. Great staff and overall experience. Would highly recommend Mr Kelsey for any type of defense. Very happy with the outcome.
