Discrimination Lawsuit

I contacted Attorney Kelly to assist me with a discrimination lawsuit against the State of Georgia. They retaliated against me and forced me out 10 months before I could retire and start drawing a pension! I am an older woman who has a chronic health condition! I was a victim of ageism, sexism, ra...cism and nepotism! They also discriminated against me based on my disability! I found Attny. Kelly on Avvo.com. While I appreciate his willingness to take my case at the last minute, I don’t feel like he did the best job possible. He only met with me once in person! He included misinformation in the original complaint. He also included information that I specifically asked him to omit. As a result, the judge had him file a revised complaint. Unfortunately, the revised complaint was dismissed with prejudice! Attorney Kelly assured me that he would file an appeal. I asked him not to wait until the last minute. Although he claimed that he filed an appeal, he was unsuccessful in filing it successfully! He also waited until the last minute to file the appeal! Now, I have lost my chance of ever getting compensated for my pain and suffering!!! I wish that I could have found a more competent attorney. He was the only attorney that I could afford. My sister loaned me $5000 to pay Attorney Kelly. I feel that it was a waste of money. When I confronted him about the mistakes he made, he responded that he spent extra time on my case. Spending extra time on a job doesn’t justify mistakes! I spend extra time on my job all of time. However, that does not justify any mistakes that I may make. I paid him to do a job. That job was to help me sue DCA to get my pension and compensate me for my pain and suffering. Unfortunately, He was unsuccessful at that job!

Attorney Jesse Kelly

Attorney Kelly was very diligent with my case. I love the fact that I was able to call him after hours if I had a pressing question and he would always respond promptly. He was very knowledgeable about the law and he made sure I understood. He informed me of every decision and did not move without m...y consent. When I got discouraged about some of the outcome he would always encourage me. He often told me not to give up and that he was willing to fight on my behalf and he did just that. He gave advice to me like he would give a family member which showed he had my best interest. I’m so grateful he was willing to take my case.

Sexual Harassment and Retaliation Case

Attorney Jesse Kelly did an Excellent job in not only Fighting for me, but also Protecting my Interests, making sure by clearly explaining in Language and Step that, I could feel Comfortable and Understand. He was Reassuring, Articulate, Knowledgeable and Effective. Attorney Kelly, made my process so... much easier and gave me PEACE of MIND with a Successful Outcome. I'd TRUST him and would not Hesitate to Call or Recommend him.

Professional, compassionate, and thorough

Mr. Kelly was professional, flexible, compassionate, and very thorough in responding to my questions and concerns. I had some technical difficulties that resulted in needing to reschedule my initial consultation, and he was very patient while I got this sorted on my end. My reasons for contacting Mr.... Kelly involved a complicated time line with some unprofessional and problematic supervisors. Mr. Kelly actively listened, asking clarifying questions, repeating things back to me to ensure he understood, and thoroughly answered my questions. He acknowledged and respected my feelings, and gave me multiple options to deal with my specific situation with respective pros and cons. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Kelly for your legal needs.
