Posted by anonymous | February 23, 2015 | Debt Collection

Helpful and patient

Kelly helped with a debt collection situation. When I didn't understand for sure what they were asking for, he was good at explaining it. I felt comfortable asking as many questions as I needed in order to get it straight in my mind.

Not your typical lawyer

A friend of mine recommended Kelly to get my record cleared. Every time I have gone for a job interview -- I was nervous of the employer digging too deep and my having to explain my past "transgressions". Thank god now I don't have to - - thanks to Kelly Dawson. He made the process of expunging my r...ecord so easy and really made me feel like he cared. Not exactly the usual experience with a lawyer.

Oil and gas lawyer | Feb 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kelly is an impassioned litigator who zealously represents his clients until a settlement is finalized. His legal acumen in resolving business disputes, which thereby minimizes his clients’ exposure to liability and litigation costs, is unparalleled. I continuously refer Oil and Gas clients to Kelly specifically, due to his extensive background as not only a Professional Landman and title attorney (particularly in curative work), but also his vast permitting experience with the Texas Railroad Commission."
