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.

GREAT LAWYER

I switched attorneys and went to David Kelly and so far he's been awesome. Unlike some lawyers, he actually cares and wants to get the job done. Their entire office is friendly too!! Id highly recommend him.

Great Service

Mr Kelly did a great job with my both my child custody case and my husbands federal case. Not only did he respond in a timely manor but he was also most helpful in giving me piece of mind, even with my repetitive questions. He did his job and did it very well. I am very happy that I hired this gentle...man.

GREAT experience...very helpful

David Kelly responded to my legal inquiry quickly and thoroughly -and after meeting with us for over half hour, didn't even charge us for his helpful advice (which was that we did not even need a pre-nup or post-nup)...He was willing and able to provide whatever assistance we needed, however did not ...feel the extra time/money was necessary. THANK YOU, David for providing amazing customer service. We will come to you if ever it's necessary and highly recommend you and your firm to others.

  • 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.
