Team work makes the dream work

Pat and Julie are the best in the business. They are a great team. I felt confident in my choice as I was leaving my free consult. He swayed my decision. I had asked my friends to recommend me a lawyer and 2 said Pat. They said he’s the top lawyer and he is. Highly respected by his fellow colleagues.... Been in the business long enough to know exactly what to do to get things done. Highly recommended! Thanks Pat for giving me my life back with a quick dismissal. Also, for always returning my calls in a speedy manner when I was freaking out and you calmed me down.

The Best and Only Lawyer to Use

Mr. Kelley is one of the Greatest and BEST Criminal defense attorneys IN THE BUSINESS . I have Known Mr. Kelley since 1994 and is the only attorney i have ever used . No matter what type of situation i have called on him for , it has always been handled with confidence and trust always . The case has... been DISMISSED and DISCHARGED for me and all of the many clients I have referred to him and his teammate JULIE JONES .... Anytime I have called on them , I've never had to speak to a secretary , or an answering service . I've always spoken to Mr. Kelley personally or Julie Jones . When your freedom is on the line , you hire the Best , pay the cost and leave the rest to the Dream Team . Mr. Kelley and Mrs. Jones are well respected in the toughest court rooms and have always kept their word . Thanks to the Shark and his teammate !

Pat & Julie great team.

If you want a bulldog attorney Patrick Kelley & Julie are the ones to hire. You will be protected as you go to court. You will see Julie more often and Patrick when needed. I always called Julie or I would talk to her after court and asked her the questions I had. Trust that they DO know what they ar...e doing. I myself have used them for a simple possession. I have referred so many of my friends many with past felonies and all got dismissals. No one can guarantee a dismissal but they get many. If you want a lawyer that is going to hold your hands and chit-chat with you this is not it. This lawyer team is all business.

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.
