She gets the job!

Charlotte is a winner and will represent you as if you are her only client! She has negotiated for me 2 times over the past 10 years. We were winners in both cases.

It has been a positive experience working with Attorney Charlotte Fernee Kelly. She took the time out to discuss my case and made sure I understand what was taken place every step of the way. I couldn't thank her enough for helping me get through the darkest part of my career. Appreciate all her work...s and effort as my legal representative. Attorney Charlotte Fernee Kelly is not just a typical lawyer, but goes beyond what her job can offer. She gave me hope and strength to fight at times when I feel like giving up. My case was closed without going further to court. God bless you and your career. Please continue to be a blessing to all.

Great partner

Charlotte and I have been referral partners for over a year now. My clients, their families, and anyone else I've sent to Charlotte always return greatly satisfied with her work and the outcome of their case. I will continue to refer to Charlotte and appreciate her efforts with my referrals.

Employment and labor lawyer | Jun 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've been practicing in the area of employment law for about 30 years. Even after 30 years there are very few lawyers I would trust to represent me in an employment case. Charlotte is one of them. She is not only deeply versed in the most complex procedural and substantive issues, but she is willing to run across minefields to pursue her adversaries. It's that searing commitment to justice that makes her a top-flight trial lawyer. She's handled more federal civil rights cases than many lawyers twenty years her senior, and she has an outstanding record of success. For me, Charlotte Fernee is the model civil rights lawyer - smart, knowledgable, adaptable to any scenario and change, and determined to pursue wrongdoers at any cost. A truly exceptional lawyer with very rare qualities."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
