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.

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.

Greetings, I filled a workers comp claim (heart & lung bill) after being put off of work due medical reasons my claim was denied and the reason given is that my injury was not work related. I have at least 30 years in law enforcement and during my pre-employment medical screening I did not have an...y medical issues. I was referred to the Kelley Law Group by my union to consult with for advice and possible ssistance. The experience was amazing, professional, and diligent. I experience a commitment of dedication to have overturned the denial of my claim and in addition secure monetary benefits going forward. The amount of follow up was impressive and the patience taken to explain the their process to ensure my clarity was second to none. The Kelley Law Group is staffed with a excellent group of competent professionals. I want to thank Paul again for assisting me through my personal challenge of having a wrong decision overturned. One last thing this was not a long and drawn out process after the initial intake was completed.

First what I did right; I filed a W/C claim when I experienced chest pains back in 2009. W/C accepted responsibility and paid for numerous procedures over the next seven years, what they didn't do is settle my impairment. Paul Kelley came to Broward County PBA and conducted a seminar on Employee ...Rights with Workers Compensation. The wealth of information I learned at the Seminar made me realized that I was not being treated properly with regards to my claim. After the seminar I was able to speak one on one with Paul and decided that I really needed representation. Over the past year Paul and his Firm where in constant contact and easily accessible whenever information needed to be exchanged. I felt like my case just went from inactive to active and W/C now had to answer for there failures. To keep it short, Paul Kelley handled every aspect of my case, and last week we settled for a rather surprising amount, which was about 20 times more than the original offer. If you think that you can handle your own case, DON"T!!! Paul Kelley and his staff; Barbara, Connie & Kristin are true professionals, I was always impressed with their courtesy, professionalism and knowledge of the law. Paul and his Firm kept me updated on my case and produced results. I have recommended The Paul Kelley Law Firm to several friends and would use him again if needed, he is not your typical Attorney. From the onset of taking on my case, Paul made it clear that this was my case and the decisions were mine to make (no pressure), he just made the decisions possible. It was nice to be represented by someone who actually has your best interest at heart. I would just like to give a sincere THANK YOU to Paul and his Staff for all their hard work.
