This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding service!

I was directed to Mr Kelley by a friend that he had helped with a high conflict divorce. His recommendation made me confident that he could handle my situation. Mr Kelley and his associates gave me more then what I had previously experienced with my former attorney. I finally felt the old sayin...g, "You get what you pay for". He controlled the courtroom, not the other lawyer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr Kelley.

Ineffective, Inattentive, Unprofessional

In 2015 I engaged Mark Kelley to file a lawsuit on my behalf, challenging the testamentary capacity of my mother when she signed a will. I also alleged undue influence and tortious interference by the heir and his lawyer. Between 2015 and 2023 I paid Kelley's law firm over $250,000 and they were neve...r able to even get my case to trial. In December 2024 Kelley suddenly and without warning dropped me as a client, saying he was tired of my "complaining about this firm" and that I was treating him "like a serf." His inexplicable action has caused me to hire another firm. The move cost me thousands of dollars and delayed my 8-year-old case even further.

Endorse Mark

Mark Moreland

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with him in cases and I was his client in a complex divorce action. He very early on mastered the facts, built a strategy, and executed it to a "T," despite consistent opposition from the other side. He knows how to disagree with courtesy and candor while convincing others of the right of his conclusion or opinion. He is "a lawyer's lawyer," and one I would without hesitation refer clients in areas of law outside my practice. His command of the facts and law, his ability to control the courtroom, and his quick mind all add up to excellent representation."

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.
