Excellent attorney

Mr Kellis handled a traffic ticket for me last month and has handled other manners for me in the past. His staff was courteous and professional. I was kept informed of matters and costs associated with my case were what he quoted me. I will use him again and recommend him to others.

Poor management

Kellis handled a traffic case that I had a few months back. I can say that Mr. Kellis did do what he said he would in court but dealing with his office assistants has left a bad taste in my mouth. To start things off, I had short-notice orders to deploy before my court date. The office said they w...ould handle it and it would be continued once I got back, mind you it was a two month deployment. While I was deployed I received an email stating that I still owed my court fees and that I needed to pay for them. After emails back and forth, the office assistant said that I did not have to worry about it and that it was a mistake. When I got back I had letters from the court and DMV that were dated a month earlier stating that the case was finished and that I owed x amount of dollars. So, this office obviously did not care enough to follow through with the court to make sure it was taken care of. I had to pay an extra $70 for a failure to comply to pay the fine after their office said once again that they would fix this problem. POORLY HANDLED CASE, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DUE TO THE MANAGEMENT OF HIS OFFICE.

Fantastic Legal Representation

I hired MR Kellis after a DUI charge to say the least I was devastated, I worried about my current job, I worried about the legal consequences, and I worried about its effect on future employment etc. I met with him before hiring him and he was judgment free and went over the particulars of what may... happen and what could happen with my situation. It took some time but I trusted his method and ended up with a much lesser charge. I would recommend him to anyone.

  • 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.
