HIGH PRAISE FOR KELLY CHERRY!

I first came to Kelly with a complicated corporate case. I came to Kelly feeling utterly frustrated, defeated and alone with the process having dealt with it mostly on my own for many years. Kelly was not only incredibly generous with her time during our first meeting but was understanding and kind.... She was most effective in navigating the system and achieved a significant sentence reduction for me by discovering an error that had gone unnoticed for several years. She kept me informed every step of the way--she made me feel empowered and confident and I knew she would get me through the final stages of my case successfully. I recommend her HIGHLY. She was nothing short of invaluable to me during this time. If you need defense counsel, you want Kelly in your court.

Professional, Capable and Caring

My husband and I are blessed to have found Kelly Cherry to assist us in a complicated Citizenship application process. We find her to be professional, respectful, diligent, capable and caring. Her excellent communication skills, (supported by her listening skills, work ethics and follow through) co...nvey that she truly cares about her clients. We found her fees to be fair and reasonable. Her skill, support and encouragement brought our daunting process to a prompt and flawless finish. We consider her to be an excellent choice for an attorney. We will seek her out for any future legal issues and look forward to working with her again in the future should a need arise.

review for Kelly Cherry

Kelly Cherry has been our family attorney for several years. I know that whom ever she is representing she treats with respect and as if it is the only case she has. The personal attention and prompt response to inquires and updates is most professional. I have recommended her to several people th...at were grateful for the referral. I will continue to use her when ever and whatever the problem may be.

Very thorough & professional

From the moment I met Ms. Cherry, I was put at ease and confident my case would be taken care of in the most professional manner. I was correct in that assumption. I had 2 prior DUI's, so I knew I was looking at a minimum sentence of 60 days and possibly a year in jail. In negotiating with the DA,... Kelly got my sentence reduced to 6 months of work release. A miracle for my family and I!! I highly recommend Kelly's services!

Actually, the original sentence was to 5 months of work release, but after filing a motion for reconsideration, the sentence was reduced and Tom ended up serving 78 days on work release - a very satisfying result!
