Highly Recommend Julia Kelly for Criminal Defense Attorney

I hired Mrs. Kelly last Spring to represent me after being charged with a misdemeanor. She was extremely helpful and hardworking throughout the entire case, and responded to all my calls and concerns. She was able to locate and interview several witnesses, many of who were not initially willing to pa...rticipate in the case. Based on her efforts and negotiations with the District Attorney she was able get me a reduced charge. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
