Responsive and very knowledgeable

I highly recommend Kelly for your legal tax matters. From my experience, Kelly is very knowledgeable in her field, is courteous, and resolves matters quickly. I needed legal advice about an unsettling letter I received from the IRS requesting payment for prior tax years, which I did not feel was accu...rate. I messaged Kelly one evening and she arranged to speak with me the very next afternoon. When we spoke, I briefly explained my situation and she knew exactly which letter I had received from the IRS and why. She explained what the letter meant and explained my options. In less than 24 hours from when I first contacted her, she drafted a letter to the IRS for my review.

Very knowledgeable Tax Attorney

Kelly is an amazing tax attorney. Her knowledge and expertise with IRS tax issues saved my family $$$. She was able to explain our situation to us very clearly and we walked away feeling more informed and in great hands. She was very responsive and patient. I highly recommend Politte Law Offices....

Fast and Accurate Help

After receiving a correspondence audit letter from the IRS, I contacted Kelly to help me provide a proper response. Kelly was tremendously helpful and very accurate and provided a draft letter in short order that ended up clearing up all confusion and resulted in acquiescence from the IRS.

Knowledgeable, Passionate, and Relentless

Kelly is an amazing attorney. Not only was she able to settle a massive debt we had with the IRS, but she was able to get it all done in record time. She communicated with us every step of the way and told us exactly what we needed to give her. She made the process so painless and even though she ...did have other clients that she was also working with, you would never know it. You can tell that she cares about her clients and works day and night to ensure that all of their legal needs are being met. She is the opposite of every bad lawyer joke. My family was truly fortunate to have Kelly in our corner. Thanks to Kelly a huge weight has been lifted off of our soldiers and we can now move forward with our lives. Thank you Kelly!

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.
