Lynn was very helpful with providing advice on an employment law situation I was dealing with at my office. She is very knowledgeable and I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal assistance in employment law matters.

Employment Legal

Lynn Kelly was very knowledgable in employment matters as it relates to non compete agreements. I called her and left a message and she returned my call within an hour, which I was impressed because I had called other law firms and have yet to return a call to this day. She took the time to listen my... situation and reassured me that she could handle our matter. She is extremely timely and easy to work with and handled our legal matter in 24 hours! What a great attorney to have. Thank you for all you do!

Excellent lawyer for employment-related matters

I hired Ms. Kelly to look over an employment agreement and was introduced to her through a referral. I found Ms. Kelly to be very knowledgeable and professional in her work and she was a great help to me. I thoroughly recommend her.

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.
