Michael B. Kelly

I made the worst decision of my life by getting behind the wheel after drinking, but I made the best decision of my life by hiring Mike Kelly as my lawyer. I messed up and Mike set me on a path of success. It was up to me to follow his guidelines of correcting my life and I did everything he said and... he made sure if I held up my end of the deal that he would hold up his, and that was to get the best results in the courtroom he possibly could get. To say he did good was an understatement, he went above and beyond. I was facing a super drunk charge and with me following everything Mike said, he was able to get it down to an Impaired Driving charge. I left the courtroom only paying fees, no probation or anything. Like I said before, this was a life changing decision. I thought I would have had at least a year of probation with a ton of extras, but nothing. By following his guidelines, we shocked the judge by making him reminisce about how there are still good people. The court clerk came out to us after when I was paying my fines and said how wonderful we did and started to cry, yes cry. How do you go into a court and make the clerk cry? I'll tell you how, by hiring Mike Kelly. I still can't believe the results and I have him to thank. Mike and his team were always available and responded immediately to my questions and concerns, I could not have been happier. So if you ever find yourself in a horrible position because of a bad decision, don't be stupid. Make a smart choice and hire Mike Kelly.

I made a terrible mistake to drive after drinking. After my night in jail, I was relieved no one was hurt, angry with myself and scared of the unknown punishment to come. I met with Mike and his team the next day. They told me that the worst was over - if I did what they told me to do. They gave ...me a plan of action to follow and said that if I did that, they would take care of the rest. They did that and so much more. Mike and his team were always available to answer emails or phone calls with questions about the process. They were patient and most importantly encouraging. When you're beating yourself up over a stupid decision, it helps to hear that you're doing the right thing to make amends. When push came to shove and I stood before the judge I was granted a far more lenient sentence than my 4x BAC could have allowed. That outcome was entirely due to Mike Kelly, his strategy and plan of action. I made a terrible mistake, but my second chance is off to a great start thanks to Mike Kelly and his team.

I have worked with Mike over the last few year on legal issues with my son. From the first case to the last, Mike assessed the situation, developed a strategy and used his relationships and knowledge to build advantage. He worked with my son to anticipate the Judges perseption and developed preempti...ve actions my son could take to reduce prejudice. His defense in the courtroom was articulate and delivered the key points to his strategy. Mike was always responsive to questions and counsel. His advice was sound and helped my family have confidence. I would not hesitate recommending Mike to my friends and will call him again.

Without a doubt, the best criminal defense lawyer in Michigan! I was charged with retail fraud 3rd degree and was beyond scared about what could happen. I did not want to go to jail, or have a larceny/retail fraud on my record. I found the Kelly & Kelly law firm online and sent an email immediately. ...I received a response email within 10 minutes and knew I was at the right place. That evening I was informed about the proactive plan I needed to start in order to get me ready for court and to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I followed the plan and met with Mike to get ready for court. He made me feel much better about the situation and I knew I was in GREAT hands. Not only is he a good lawyer, he is a good person. The day of court Mike stepped up and spoke to the Judge explaining everything perfectly. I ended up with a delayed sentence and if I do not get in trouble for 12 months, everything will be dropped. So I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out for me. All thanks to Mike and his plan!!

My brother and I both received marijuana possession charges on a night out together. We were looking around for representation and my brother found Mike Kelly and read about his proactive approach to criminal cases. We contacted him with hopes to both be represented by the same lawyer. Mike not only ...represented us both, but suggested steps we could take prior to our court date. These steps were intended to get us on the right track with our lives and show the court that we were doing more than the average person in this situation. Both of our charges will be wiped from our permanent record and the steps we took prior to court will help us never get in this situation again. Mike is an amazing defense lawyer and I would highly reccomend him to others. He also caught 3 different mistakes the court made that could have been serious problems for me and my bother. For example, warrants were mistakenly put out for our arrest. We waived our arraignment and the court did not file our paperwork correctly. So they put out warrants for us missing a court date that we didn’t have to be at. Mike’s team quickly blocked the warrants and took care of the situation before it became a real problem. Mike is a quick thinking man when it comes to unforeseen problems in the court room as well. Overall 5/5 stars. Thanks for everything, Chris
