Really tries to have your back!

I am extremely happy with Jesse. He took a chance on me and believed me when nobody else did. He fought and won a proposed removal. My employer then did a 15 day suspension and had that dropped as well. A very patient person who always made me feel i could call and ask questions.

Federal employee

I would 100% recommend Jesse Kelly to anyone, especially any federal employee that was in need of legal services. He saved my job when the agency was trying to wrongfully terminate me. His skills and knowledge was paramount in handling my case. Thank you Jesse for the hard work you do.

He saved my job and proved my innocence

I have worked with Mr. Kelly for the past few stressful months. He told me he wants to take my case based on what my initial message to the firm was. He believed in what I was saying and without a doubt. He fully was ready to go and bat up for me and be in my corner. So , not only he help win my case... but also saved me from the proposed removal at my job. He has also checked up on my when I was in the hospital twice. He did not have to do that but he did. He always reassured me that things will be better and felt apologetic for the undo stress I was in due to my supervisor and the strain it put on my relationship with my partner. I felt he took my case personal. He felt that what my supervisors was doing was wrong and that is why he took my case. He is kind and listens to details. He has given me 110% attention when I needed it and what needs to be said. I’ve kept him updated about everything and maybe it was a little over kill but he assured me that any information or updates from me will be looked at and it was good to do that anyways. I would highly recommend Mr. Jessy Kelly and the rest of the firm to clients who would need help in navigating one of the biggest employers (DoD). I can’t them him and them enough for what they have done for me. Thank you Mr. Kelly for always being in my corner.
