Paul Anthony Kelley

I highly recommend retaining Mr. Paul Kelley for disability pension and workers compensation claim services related to first responders. I was initially denied indemnity as part of my worker’s compensation claim and through his persistence and excellent knowledge of the statutes and legal sys...tem pertaining to PTSD and EMS workers he was able to get that decision reversed and my claim settled through mediation saving me the stress of having to go through litigation. He also assisted me in securing my disability pension. He and his staff are friendly and caring and make you feel comfortable while navigating these often confusing and very overwhelming processes. I am finally able to feel some weight lifted from my shoulders and see the beginnings of a brighter future. Thank you Paul and Madison!!

In 2006, while working as a patrol officer, I had a heart attack on the job. This led to several weeks in the hospital and months of recovery. The City I work for denied my claim under the Heart and Lung Bill. Based upon recommendation from my union, I sought out Paul Kelley to represent me. I did no...t know it at the time, but this would turn out to be the best decision I have ever made. The city fought ruthlessly to deny my claim; so much so that at one point, I wondered if it was worth the fight. Paul assured me that it was and he was absolutely right. The city continued to deny my claim and Paul took them to court and won. Despite this, the city still denied my claim and appealed. Paul went before the appellate court in Miami, which consisted of a 3 judge panel. All three judges unanimously upheld our win in the lower court. The city now, by court order, recognizes and is responsible for my claim. Since 2006, I have had to have many heart related procedures. I had to retire medically as a police officer. Paul represented me through all of this and negotiated a transition from officer to a civilian administrative position, where I presently continue to work. In 2020, I developed severe heart failure and had to undergo an evaluation for a heart transplant. Paul again represented me throughout this very scary time. Thanks to Paul and his team, I received the medical attention that I needed in a timely manner. Luckily, I did not have to undergo transplantation at this time and am continuing to receive medical therapy. I have had the need for an attorney more than I have ever imagined that I would. I can tell you, Paul is an absolute expert pertaining to the Heart and Lung Bill and Worker's Compensation. Above all else, he is one of the nicest and most caring people you will ever meet. He has put together a team of experts. Connie, Barbara and Kristin are the best! During this recent transplant scare, they worked late hours and did whatever it took to make sure that I got what I needed medically. You absolutely cannot go wrong with choosing Paul to represent you. 14 years after choosing Paul, I still say it was the best decision I have ever made.

I am a 22 year police veteran. I was referred to Mr. Kelley by another police officer. Recently I suffered a cardiac episode while heading to work. I contacted The Kelley law group for assistance because I had a very difficult experience with workers comp many years ago where I made the mistake of t...rying to deal with them myself. I spoke with Kristian then Connie and then Mr. Kelley. Everything is still new because my case just started. The process has been very smooth and if you call they are never too busy to speak with you. I am glad I retained the Kelly Law Group. I am confident they will be able to assist me through this most difficult time.

Paul A. Kelley is the founder of the Kelley Law Group, P.A. and handles my Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program (PSOB) case from my late husband's Line-of-Duty death, as a firefighter. He and his team are all very helpful, straightforward, knowledgeable, compassionate and courteous. As well as de...cisive while tending to my case, and my legal needs with a great degree of integrity. I recommend Kelly Law Group to those that require legal council. Especially, first responder and workers' compensation claims. This team organized doctors and necessary advocates to prove our case, picking up the ball and moving forward where others had dropped it. Their assistance in my case has been greatly appreciated.

I was a Miami-Dade County Police Lieutenant..I suffered an injury while being surgically operated at local hospital due to negligence. Additionally, I was in the Investment Plan for my retirement and didn't have enough money to retire. My medical condition was severe enough to keep me from performin...g my lawful police duties. Since my injury was not in the line of duty, I was not covered under the County's insurance. I was referred to Paul Kelly y a friend. I called Paul Kelley and asked him to review my case and if it was possible to get back into the FRS. Well, a few weeks later, Paul Kelley came through and I was accepted back into the FRS. Subsequently, I was able to retire with a secured monthly retirement check for the rest of my life. Paul Kelley is the real deal. He is not a charlatan but a man of action...do not hesitate to hire him to get a positive outcome on your case. I am blessed to have this attorney represent me in my case with the FRS and also with Worker's Compensation for an unrelated matter. If you need the best attorney in Florida, just hire Paul Kelley.
