Review for Trent Kelly

I would highly recommend Trent Kelly and have to several friends. I have worked with Trent and his firm several times over the past four years and have always been impressed with the level of service and very confident in his abilities. After working with Trent, he set the bar in characteristics to ...search for in an attorney. His expertise was invaluable. He was approachable, in that he took time to guide me through my legal process, learn my expectations and realistic outcomes. He was also very dependable and I felt that my situation was of utmost importance to him. I have been extremely pleased working with Trent and have had very positive experiences.

Excellent Service & Results!

I've used Trent on occasion for a variety of legal needs. He's always prompt, concise, and informative, achieving results beyond expectation. Most recently, he advised me on an employment contract, helping me avoid signing a dubious agreement. I am very pleased with the negotiation he advised and wou...ldn't trust anyone else to counsel me on such personal matters. I highly recommend Trent to everyone who asks me for legal referrals.

Exceptional Lawyer

Mr. Kelly is dedicated to helping his clients, Mr Kelly helped me with my auto injury suit, He has from day one kept me informed on the position and progress of my case. Mr. Kelly truly cares about the clients he is fighting for and is an exceptional lawyer.

Client

Trent Kelly has been very supportive and very helpful through out my cases. He has been very realistic from the day one. He never changed his position. He really cares for you and fight for your cases to the best of his capacity. Honestly, he got me settled my case with more than I had expected. I on...ce had a lawyer for the same case. After about 8 months he decided not to fight for it. But Trent Kelly took it and successfully fought for it.

Integrity is the first word that comes to mind.

Trent Kelly is by far the best attorney I have worked with and I was actually married to one. He is professional and got the job done. He is one of the first attorneys I have worked with that did not make me feel like he just took my money and then did nothing. He was referred to me by my daughter... who wanted to take on Bank of America and no one would do it. Trent did and won...he is really the attorney we are all looking for!

"I have known Trent for a more than a decade. His skills and body of work in the Courtroom enable him to negotiate excellent deals for his clients outside of the Courtroom. If I need to co-counsel with an attorney in Texas, Trent is the first attorney that I contact."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Trent and I worked against each other on a case recently, and I found him to be competent, focused and hard-working. The best compliment that I can get as an attorney is a referral from an opposing counsel - and I would not hesitate to refer any matter to Trent."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Very few people have impressed me more than Trent Kelly. I first met Trent as opposing counsel in an insurance dispute case. I had been dealing with another attorney who was unresponsive and difficult to work with. Trent took over and promised that he would respond timely and work to get the case resolved. I could tell immediately that he was smart, courteous, and perhaps a good lawyer. He was tough but fair and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to invite him to join our firm after learning that he had left his prior employment. Now that I work with him rather than against him, I have seen many more qualities that have impressed me. Trent works tirelessly for his clients and he is an exceptional advocate. But his best quality would have to be the compassion and empathy he shows for his clients' problems. Not only has Trent impressed me, but I would consider him to be one of the finest lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with."

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.
