The court appointed Kelly to me and she did a fantastic job representing me and having my voice heard. My felony got dropped to only a misdemeanor and it won't be on my record thanks to her. She truly saved my life and I'm forever grateful for her and her commitment to her job.
I would think that one of the hardest things for a public defender is to balance the need to protect the rights of the client while, at the same time, recommending a plea which will result in the best outcome for the defendant. My son suffers from a mental illness, and was not aware of his circumstances when he became involved in a physical confrontation with a Sherif's department, resulting in being charged with a misdemeanor of Attempted Assault of a Police Officer. Kelly recognized this and was able to guide my son to a plea of "No Contest", knowing full well that he would not have a favorable chance with a jury trial should he plead "Not Guilty" as my son was wont to do. In this way, not only was the Judge and Prosecutor able to compassionately place the defendant on a 2 year probation program, inclusive of following a Community Mental Health recovery program, my son felt that he was not being forced to plead "Not Guilty" to the events of an evening that he can not fully recollect. I would highly recommend Kelly not only for her legal knowledge, but more importantly for her ability to recognize what is best for her client and possessing the ability to achieve this in a very delicate courtroom setting.

Thank You Kelly!
I have heard and experienced situations with attorneys not effectively representing their clients. I was reluctant, I shared this with Atty. Fletcher. Her compassion, expertise and implementation has helped restore my confidence. Thank you Kelly!

Mrs. Fletcher was very informative to any questions we had regarding our bankruptcy. Any time I called her for any questions she was always quick to return my phone call. She made me feel very comfortable in her presence at all times and she was even so nice as to allow me to bring my daughter to a meeting as I had no babysitter at the time.

"Kelly Fletcher pays attention to details, which is important in all areas of law and critical in bankruptcy law. Kelly was my mentor when I first handled a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. She is also very knowledgeable and experienced in criminal law. She is cool under pressure and has a warm heart and a sharp mind. I wholeheartedly endorse Kelly Fletcher."
