Biography
Hi, I'm Tom Kelly. I have been in the practice of law for over 20 years. Since 2006, I've been partners with my father. We work well together. From him, I learned how to treat people with respect. More than that, I learned how to be an attorney with integrity. If you are looking for representation and need someone that you can trust, please give us a call at Kelly and Kelly LLC. I would be pleased to answer your questions and offer my expertise to aid you in your time of need.
Thank you for your consideration.

I've been working with Kelly and Kelly for several years. They are always well informed, prepared and gracious to all involved. They are highly respected by their peers. I've met several attorneys over the years I have been working and Kelly and Kelly are at the top of my list.

Tom did a great job for me. He and his dad are well respected in the area. While I was quite anxious of my legal situation, Tom kept me informed and calm. I've since recommended family and friends in need of legal counsel. You and your family can trust in this guy!
Thomas James Kelly's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Tom and his father for many years and I know them both to be excellent advocates for their clients. Tom and I began our careers together as prosecutors, often times battling against seasoned defense attorneys. Now that Tom is in private practice, I have had the occasions to work cases with him on opposing sides. He is very dedicated to his clients and conscientious of their needs and concerns."
"In the interests of full disclosure I am Tom's father and partner. That said Tom is today a more capable and experienced lawyer than many who have been practicing for twice as long as his10 plus years. He possesses the legal and personal skills to protect his clients from the negative efforts of adversaries and guide them to a just and reasonable conclusion in whatever matter they may find themselves in nearly every area of the law. I am blessed to have him as my partner and most proud that he is my son."
"I have had the good fortune of working with Tom in a number of areas - both in and out of the courtroom - and have found him to be a great attorney. He's well prepared, very knowledgeable, and is easy to work with. Whether the matter is criminal or divorce, he is sure to zealously advocate for his client. Therefore, I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Thomas and his Father, and they are both outstanding attorneys. If I was getting a divorce, Tom is the type of representative I would want on my side."
