I have been a lawyer for about twenty years and spent my entire legal career practicing in Wilmington, North Carolina. Although I live in Wilmington, I often handle cases in Brunswick, Onslow, Craven, Columbus, Pender, Wake, Mecklenburg and other counties.
I have represented people and companies in all sorts of situations. I have prepared agreements for couples prior to their getting married and starting a family, or when they were starting businesses and growing their finances. I have also litigated when buisnesses faltered, or contract disputes developed. I have fought for homeowners when the bank came to take their house away. I am honored that so many have trusted me with the highlights and lowlights of their lives.
Prior to going to law school, I worked for a multi-national corporation in strategic planning. This corporate career path afforded me plenty of opportunities to examine legal issues from a business perspective. This experience taught me to keep my eye on the big picture while handling a client's case.
My skills include:
I understand that hiring a lawyer is an important, and sometimes crucial and expensive decision. If you retain me and I agree to work with you, I will give you and your matter the attention and respect you deserve.

Run!
She will be sweet and convincing until she gets her retainer. Then good luck getting a hold of her or having her do her job. I was told once I paid my retainer ANYTHING above that would be discussed prior to moving forward. Never happened and now she is trying to slap me with a bill that is twice ...

Handling the "Bank" when the developer walks
Kelly was outstanding in working with a bank who was insistent on fulfilling our mortgage payments after the developer walked and left lot owners with no infrastructure, roads or means to develop or build their home. She handled all phases in an excellent manner and we never had to deal with the bank...

A Fantastic Experience
I went to see Ms. Toms during an altercation between myself and my landlords. Not only did she embarrass them in the courtroom, I didn't have to pay them a single cent of the money I, admittedly, owed them. She was very knowledgeable, expedient, and informative. I know that if I should come in...

"Attorney Toms enjoys a well respected reputation in our community. It is with pleasure that I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Kelly for many years and have readily referred her files with the upmost of confidence. Kelly always takes the time to get to know the issues with each of her cases. She is an advocate and will fight for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have know Kelly Toms for approximately five years as she is located in my building. She is know in the community for representing builders and their interests. Recently she has represented builders against banks who have loaned them money to build and then taken unfair advantage of them. My understanding is that recently she recovered a very large amount on behalf of one of her builder clients. She has done great work"
