The most dedicated attorney you will ever meet

Kelly Bennett helped us with a very stressful situation in which our insurance company was trying to find a way out of paying our property claim. We had been indirectly accused of intentionally causing our loss. He was able to relieve the stress we felt by researching our case and helping us meet the demands bestowed upon us by our insurance company. With his help we were able to meet all requirements demanded of us and we were able to prove we did nothing wrong. He was there for every step of our difficult claim investigation process. We would be lost without his guidance and knowledge. He is a very dedicated attorney who is passionate about fighting for what is right.

You won't regret working with Kelly

Kelly makes you comfortable from the first meeting to the last. He keeps you informed through out the process with accurate information. He isn't your typical attorney. He is a hard working businessman that happens to be an attorney. I'm glad I had Kelly handling my case.

State of Illinois

Kelly was my attorney through a case involving the State of Illinois. It was very stressful for me but he was there for me every step of the way. Although I was hoping for a better outcome, Kelly guided me in the direction he thought was best for the case and my situation.

Very good experience

Originally Kelly was recommended to me from a previous friend who had used his services and was pleased. I was involved in a car accident, where at first I tried to handle the case myself. However, after the other insurance company decided to fight my case, I had to reach out to Kelly. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to work with him. We met once to get the details of my case, after that he managed the case all of the way through to my satisfactory closure to the case. His professional experience and insight was a warm welcome to a challenging situation in having to deal with this insurance company. Thanks Kelly.

A perfect choice!

I hired Kelly Bennett after I was injured in an auto accident. I was constantly being harassed by the insurance company of the person that hit me. Kelly Bennett took the stress off of me by handling all the legal matters relating to this accident. Kelly answered all my questions and kept me informed of my case. He is compassionate and patient. I highly recommend Kelly Bennett.

Kelly Q Bennett is Most Qualified

We had a very contenious situation, and our family was in uncharted waters. My son hadn't received so much as a driving ticket, and he was facing felony charges. There were circumstances beyond what we could understand. I feel Kelly provided reasonable, re-assuring service, with the best possible scenerio. We are on the road back from what could have been a very serious life alerting situation. I would have paid ANYTHING, but Kelly was extremely reasonable and very considerate for his payments. I will continue to use him for the remaining issues surrounding the case, but the worst is over! Thank you Kelly.
