Susan N. Kelly

I hired Ms. Kelly to help me in a very contentious divorce. I and my soon-to-be-ex were represented by attorneys known in Waco as among the best family lawyers. Susan came in. She cut to the chase. She was efficient, sensitive, practical and effective. She is a great trial lawyer and put her ski...lls to magnificant use. She was a great advocate and got me very favorable results. I am told my outcome is quite rare in family law cases, both with respect to visitation and the very favorable property division, I am forever grateful.

After years of being in a high-conflict custody case, I had lost trust in the legal system. I was very unsure and confused on how to proceed with finding a lawyer; especially one who could meet the professional requirements the case needed as well as my needs such as personal guidance. I was referred... to Susan Kelly through a trusted friend and upon meeting her I knew she was the lawyer for my case, and she did not disappoint. Leading up to trial, she communicated with me in a manner that was above and beyond what I would expect from any lawyer. She could see that I was highly stressed and very overwhelmed. Keeping that in mind, she presented the workload of trial preparation in a way that I could easily comprehend, and helped me execute the task. To me, that was the biggest difference between her and the other lawyers I had met with. In fact, it ended up being the difference that won us the case in trial. I have no doubt that we won the case because she took the time to learn about me, and consequently, was able to accurately represent me in the courtroom.  

When I had an incident with law enforcement, I consulted with many personal friends and attorneys statewide while seeking legal counsel in the county of my alleged offense -- and across the board one name came up repeatedly: Susan N. Kelly. I turned to Ms. Kelly and her staff to help me understand th...e facts of my and found both her and her legal assistant, Ivori Murray, incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and accommodating. They were the calm that helped me weather the storm and with Susan's impressive resume and experience as both former prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney -- she really understands every facet of criminal cases and can get phenomenal results before a case even goes to trial just like she did me. Had my case gone to trial, I have no doubt in my hear that I would have received powerful, fair, and compassionate representation by this attorney. Furthermore, Susan N. Kelley commitment to educating the next generation of attorneys through her guest lectures at Baylor School of Law and her illustrious reputation among esteemed colleagues for being an advocate on behalf of her clients are not just words from a biography -- these describe the true character of a woman who I cannot recommend to you enough as your counsel if you or a loved one ever find themselves accused of a crime.

I got arrested with Evading in a Motor Vehicle in a small town of Riesel, Texas on July 2015. I don't know anyone in the area since I am from Houston. I've had several appointments with different lawyers in Waco but above all, she stood out the most. She was very kind and compassionate - the traits t...hat I find rare among attorneys. She was very soft-spoken and patient with me. In terms of her approach in my case, she was very much on top of everything as she handled it in a very timely and precise manner. I got arrested on late June and she got me accepted on the pre-trial diversion on late August of that same year. She really did an exceptional job in building my case, a truly must-have lawyer.

I had the unfortunate experience to find myself with legal issues and a very bad time in my life. I contacted Susan and she is one of the most caring and professional people that I have coming to contact with in the last two years. She will stop at nothing tohelp her client. I not only consider her a... very good attorney but now a very close friend. Thanks Susan
