Blake from the very beginning was extremely thorough. He was relentless when an issue arose in court, Blake made it very clear it was not on our part. During the course of my case blake was always one step ahead. The guidance I received from Blake was worth more than the money i paid in my opinion. If i ever have any issues again it isn’t a question who i will call. Blake Kelley has my business for life.

A fighter
I hired Mr Kelley to represent me in a case where I was accused of owing 28,000 dollars in back child support. He fought hard for me in the court room and was able to get the case settled in my favour with me not having to pay a dime to my ex wife. The DA admitted that it was a complicated case and there were many variables and gray areas. Blake argued the case brillianly for me, I can't recommend him enough.

DUI DISMISSAL
My son was pulled over for swerving by a State Tropper. His blood alcohol content was 0 and positive for THC. The DA wanted to pursue the case. Blake had a powerful argument in court. My son requested it be sent up to the Grand Jury. The case was No No True Bill meaning the Grand Jury refused to indict. Thanks to Blake my son can graduate College next year without the stress of this case lingering over him. Tjanks so much Blake Kelley! We strongly and highly recommend this Attorney!
