Outstanding Attorney

I am incredibly grateful to Attorney Jesse Kelly for his exceptional work in securing my disability retirement settlement. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of my case and provided clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process. Attorney Kelly was always avai...lable to answer my questions and address my concerns, making me feel supported and confident every step of the way. His expertise and dedication were evident in the thorough preparation and strategic approach he took to ensure a successful outcome. Thanks to Jesse's hard work and commitment, I now have the financial stability I need to move forward with my life. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance with disability retirement cases or any other employment law related issue. Attorney Kelly truly goes beyond for his clients. Thank you, Attorney Jesse Kelly, for everything you have done for me!

Look no further

When no one believed in me Mr. Kelly did, he never hesitated to fight for what was right. My case against a huge federal organization did not phase Jesse. He never backed down, he prepared me and worked night and day all the way through the finish line and even past that. We came out victorious, for ...the first time ever we won a sexual harassment case against this federal military organization!! Jesse has a passion and heart for this work, it’s not all about the money. To have a lawyer who is absolutely out to do the right thing and make the victim feel seen and heard is very hard to find, but Jesse Kelly is the guy who can do that and WIN. Do not hesitate or even waste time looking any further for a winning, passionate and hard fighting lawyer he is the best.

Posted by anonymous | November 21, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

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!
