Susan N. Kelly

Susan Kelly is one of the most well-respected, ethical and intelligent lawyers I've ever hired. I will say that she was able to accomplish exactly what I needed in 6 months that my previous attorneys could not do in three years. So, after I got tired of my previous attorney's lack of aggressiveness,... I decided to leave the county and search for a new Attorney, an Attorney who would do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. Let me say that making that drive to Waco to hire Susan was the best decision I've ever made. I would've drove any distance for her representation. She is an excellent lawyer. A lawyer that always put my needs first. Every time I had a question she would ALWAYS respond EVERY TIME no matter where she was. Thats important to me. I cant thank her enough for setting the standards of what an Attorney should be like. So after she resolved my current problem, I immediately hired her AGAIN to represent me with my divorce. Thank you Susan for your hard work and dedication.

The day before my wife and I were scheduled to leave on vacation, I was called by a detective and told I'd been charged with leaving the scene of an accident without supplying identification. In Texas this is a class B misdemeanor. It was tied to a silly incident that involved no injuries and real d...amage to either car. The tire on my car touched the fender on another car in a near miss incident and left a black mark. I stopped and spoke to the other driver. At the time, I thought the other driver and I were agreed that there was no real damage and we didn't need to get insurance involved. Apparently she changed her mind almost immediately, followed me, wrote down my license plate and then for some reason waited a month to file criminal charges against me. I was completely stunned. I don't have an attorney. I've never been in legal trouble in my life and haven't even had a traffic ticket in over 30 years. I scrambled to find an attorney over the internet and found a listing for Susan. She was very highly rated and had over 30 years of experience as a criminal attorney. I called and spoke with her assistant, who was a friendly, empathetic young lady and left all my details, as Susan was in court that day. My wife and I were actually leaving for Florida and couldn't wait to set up an actual physical appointment. Susan called me later while we on the road. We discussed all of the above and she agreed to immediately begin acting as my attorney, even though I wasn't in a position to make payment immediately as I was in a car driving through Lousiana at the time. It wasn't until I spoke with her that I realized just how serious this could become. If a warrant was put into the system for my arrest, a simple traffic stop could result in me being taken into custody and extradited back to Texas. Susan assured me that I didn't need to turn around and head back to Texas. She could and would take actions to head off anything like this. She knew the chief of police personally in the town of which I was being charged and would contact him as well as the detective in charge. I immediately felt better just knowing that she had a personal connection to some of the people involved. Often times in life who you know is as important as what you know. In a "small" town like Waco, a local attorney is important. Susan told me to leave it to her and do the best I could to enjoy my vacation while she dealt with it. A few tense days later she called me with the great news. The charges had been dropped, the case completely closed and I was in the clear. What a wonderful Christmas present. What an incredible relief. If you're in trouble I would highly recommend you call Susan Kelly. She did wonders for me.
