Michael B. Kelly

Work place situation became a first time felony charge and nightmare. My attempt to handle the matter with the police was a big mistake. I realized that I was in serious legal trouble and did get charged with a felony. I hired the Kelly law firm and Michael represented me in all my court appearanc...es. He did an excellent job. I was kept informed. I was presented with all my options. Importantly, Michael provided the emotional support to get me through the process. The end result was a minor fine and a misdemeanor charge that I will have expunge.

I got an mip when i was 19 in the 47th district court. Young and nieve I faced the case without any legal representation. This resulted in me getting extremely difficult probation and 6 violations. Overwhelmed with the legal system I simply stopped reporting which resulted in a warrant for my arrest.... Over a year later I knew I was facing large repercussions, even up to jail time which would have resulted in me losing out on my semester of school and possibly my employment. Although I lived two hours away and only met with Mike in person the day of court, he showed his upmost character. I did a lot of research and spoke with a lot of lawyers, he was the only one who didn't try to speak with me as quickly as possible, get me to pay his fee and get off the phone. He took an hour over the phone with me to consult with me about the case before I even shelled out a dollar. His fee was very fair when compared to the lawyers I spoke with. In court he was creative, smart and did a great job representing me, as well as coming up with some very inventive steps to reestablish my credibility with the court. 47th district court is notoriously tough, but the day of court we were prepared, and he did a great job representing me. Although I was facing up to 20 days in jail, which seemed to be the likely outcome, that day I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, case closed all violations dropped. Mike is literally a LIFE SAVER. I was hesitant at first because his avvo rating was only at a 6.6. But this is at no fault of mike because of the scoring mode they use, he has 5 star ratings for everything except experience which is out of his hands with him being licensed for only 2 years. This should be seen as a good thing because Mike will be willing to work harder than most experienced attorneys would because he is still working to build his reputation. I would not recommend another criminal defense lawyer to any of my loved ones. Again look no further than mike for great representation.

Mike and the team at Kelly and Kelly were my choice after being charged with a OWI in Northville. They were very responsive at all times, as I had many concerns with this charge - and they helped put me at ease and answered all of my many questions during the process. The 35th district court judges s...eem to know and respect Mr. Kelly and I felt confident that along with the proactive plan that was laid out by the Kelly team, I was in good hands during my sentencing. We were able to get the charge reduced to an operating while impaired.

Mike was great defending my son from a marijuana possession charge that looked like was going to be elevated. He successfully negotiated a probationary settlement. Mike also gave my son the facts and counseled him about what is actions would mean for him. He wants to see his young clients fix their ...lives and helps them get on the right path. He gave my son a second chance. He is young and very smart. Highly recommend

Mike represented me very well. Even though the opposing counsel was derogatory towards me, made spurious and fraudulent claims, Mike was steadfast. He has kept me abreast of any changes or information promptly, and was always accessible. There were points where the opposing counsel was so infuriat...ing, it was a relief to have someone able to defend and soundly refute the claims and even be able to respond with significant points to weaken their case. This allowed me to be able to relax a bit knowing that Mike was there to back me up. Mike was also a support through some of the stressful times as incredulous things were found out in regards to treatment my son was enduring. Mike was invested in my case and truly cared about the results.
