Terrible Attorney

I hired David Kelly (outside Avvo) to represent me in a legal matter. David Kelly's representation is poor. He didn't prepare for trial, or file motions requested or advised. He was paid for representation and trial, but withdrew from the case and kept the entire retainer. I wouldn't recommend him as... he doesn't seem to want to put the work in that it takes to win cases.

Got the job done effieciently in a friendly manor

David and his law office handled two cases for me. Paper work was timely/easy, conversations were friendly but to the point, cases were handled smoothly and with ease. Of all of the lawyers of I have dealt with, this office has actually been effective and fair. The anxiety that comes with law didn't ...occur to me with this office...I trusted them to get the job done and they did.

If you want a reliable attorney hire Mr. Kelly

David Kelly is an amazing attorney. He took my case on when I needed him and he worked with me every step of the way. He was down to earth and seemed to take my case to heart. He kept me up-to-date on the details of the case and communicated with me regularly. When problems arose he made sure that we...ekends, holidays, and after hours were not an issue. He was there to advise me and take action immediately. At the end of a very long and drawn out case (not his fault), we essentially won. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Kelly took care of matters that should have been dealt with by the other parties’ attorney. I cannot say enough about Mr. Kelly and his staff. I would highly recommend Mr. Kelly and use his services in the future.

Reasonable price and quality service

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kelly on a personal injury suit. He was prompt, thorough, and lead me step by step through the process. The staff was always around to answer questions when I needed them through email or over the phone and I was happy to get my negotiations done outside of co...urt. I received my settlement quickly and was extremely happy with the outcome. Many praises to Mr. Kelly and his team.
