Mr. Kellys n Mrs.Jones are great attorneys!! I'm still dealing with my case but I have tons of confidence in them. They are very professional n it's worth the money.

Hire this man right now

Patrick Kelley is awesome, wouldn't hesitate to use him again. My criminal case was completely dismissed because he ripped the DA's witness a new one and totally discredited him. He and his staff are great, shout out to Julie too! Thanks guys for keeping me a free man

Excellent

I'm an immigration attorney and my client was helped by Attorney Kelley on his criminal matter. Not only was the felony completely dismissed due to the hard work of Attorney Kelley, but he went above and beyond to help with me get everything I needed to represent him in immigration court. He went abo...ve and beyond any obligation and didn't even charge for the extra work. He is amazing and I would highly recommend him.

Best Attorney for Defense

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.
