Hire with confidence

He represented me for a DWI. After hearing the specifics of my bad night, he said he'd like to take it to trial and that he felt we could win. And that's exactly what happened. My case wasn't that difficult but he took it and me seriously and knocked it out of the park. And for what it's worth, I ...watched him in action in court on a couple of different occasions and it's obvious he has the respect of the court (DA, judges, bailiffs, etc) Oh, and his fees are completely sane.

Thank You Mr Kellis

I was refered to Mr Kellis by a friend and greatful for the referral. Mr Kellis right from the start heard me out, gathered the facts in detail and never once made me feel uncomfortable about my situation. As my court date grew near I began to grow worrisome of the possible outcome or impending doom... I was to face if found guilty. Mr Kellis eased all those unnessisarry jitters with his confidence and calm deminor. Once my day in court arrived I sat in the crowd patiently waiting to face the music fearing that I would be put to he stand and made an example of by the district attorney.... No such event ever took place. Mr Kellis wanting to avoid having myself shamed publicly took it upon himself to settle the matter behind closed doors with the district attorney and police officer who was charging me. I never once had to leave my seat until the moment Mr Kellis was telling me that he got all three charges dropped and that I was dismissed. Should I ever find myself in a similar predicament I will certainly be seeking Mr Kellis' services again.

Very Professional Attorney. Highly Recommend!

Mr. Kellis is the best attorney around. He is great at what he does. He got my case dismissed when no other lawyer could! His staff is very professional. I am going to tell everybody I know about this law firm. 10 stars!!!

Client charged with "Communicating Threats"

Mr. Kellis is a professional attorney who is dedicated to his client's legal requirements. He has a sharp wit and is experienced in getting to the heart and truth of the matter. He presents his case in a succinct, expertise manner and is a trustworthy advocate for the client. Not only did Mr. Kell...is make me feel comfortable with my legal representation, he represented me in a manner that was confident and firm in the matter of the law and dealing with the court system.

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.

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.
