Review of Melissa Kelly

Melissa Kelly conducts her law practice with integrity, competence, courtesy, responsiveness, and professionalism. 1, Ms. Kelly listens well to her clients, advises what she can and cannot provide, and acts promptly. Since our first consultation, she has quickly understood which legal options wer...e available to me and proceeded directly on the option that we agreed together to pursue. She does not deviate from her agreement with the client. And during no part of the case has she wasted time with small talk. 2. In every engagement, Ms. Kelly has demonstrated the utmost respect to me in addition to keeping focus on my case. Actions with the court and me were consistently timely and complete. 3. Ms. demonstrated for me integrity with honesty. She not only fought for her client but also fought for her principles for doing the right thing.

Very promising during intake, but fades off after a month or two. Stay away.

She promised moon , stars doing intake. Took a month to send the first email. Burnt most of my retainer to get everything opposing legal counsel wanted, through her robotic paralegals. then withdrawn citing health or mother surgery , some such reason. She did zero defense, when there were false ac...cusations. I would rather plead my spouse, to reconcile than working with these hypocrites. Stay away.

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.
