Corporate and incorporation lawyer | Sep 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"In a profession that too often lacks civility and professionalism, Andrew Kelleher defines what every lawyer should aspire to be. He has a masterful knowledge of the law. He is a strong advocate when his clients find themselves in a dispute or litigation. And, he has a remarkable "human touch" that contributes to his great success and general likeability among his clientele, the bench, and other members of the bar. I'm honored to share the same profession with Mr. Kelleher, and proud to endorse such a superb lawyer."

"I heartily endorse this lawyer. Mr. Kelleher is extremely knowledgeable in his various areas of practice. He is able to readily identify all of the legal issues relevant to a client's situation, and concisely explain the client's available options to her. He consistently balances his clients' needs to receive competent legal guidance, while simultaneously minimizing their fees and costs, by exercising due diligence, personally addressing certain legal matters, and assigning competent, experienced subordinate lawyers to address other matters."

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.
