Couldn't have hired better representation!!

I was facing felony assault charges for an altercation I got into and needed an attorney. It was self defense but the DA was not seeing it that way. After calling around I found Wolf law and spoke with Colleen Kelley on the phone about my case. From the get go she was very professional and I could t...ell that she truly cares for her clients and their rights and wants to get the best possible outcome. So many attorneys out there just go through the motions and take peoples money. Colleen is not one of them! She knows the law and knows your rights. She's very experienced in these types of cases and it showed! We took this case all the way to trial and Colleen was nothing short of exceptional in court! She left no stone unturned and was 110% prepared when my trial date came around. She also did an exceptional job preparing me for trial. I felt very confident going into trial because Colleen was in my corner. Communication was great throughout the whole process. Needless to say we got the result we were looking for and I was found not guilty on all counts. I will forever be grateful to Colleen for her services and I am thankful that I chose her to represent me. If you're looking for a top notch attorney, pick up the phone and call Colleen!

Understanding, diligent and knowledgeable

I contacted, consulted, hired Colleen Kelley for help sealing records of 2 misdemeanors from 2010. I was in a time crunch to submit applications to progress in my future career and she was nothing but helpful. She was very responsive to my questions and handled my case incredibly professionally. Both... misdemeanor cases were sealed and I am so grateful for her help! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Professional and deep knowledge in Law

Colleen is the most trustful and capable attorney that we had ever have, especially through difficult times, and complex legal cases. With her keen knowledge in law, she is also caring and persistent. Thanks for all her hard work to bring our case to a fair conclusion.

Removal from sex offender list

I contacted Wolf Law about my case and was immediately told that Colleen Kelley was the person I needed to talk to. One of Colleen's areas of expertise is knowing the law about sex offenses and what it takes to help registered sex offenders get removed from the registry. After a free consultation, I... decided to hire her for my attorney. She was quick in getting all the information she needed to put together a case and set up a court date. Within three months I no longer had to register as a sex offender. Colleen was totally up front with me about everything and no hidden costs on service. I would hire her again in a second. I highly recommend Wolf Law and Colleen Kelley as your attorney. Thanks for reading .

Colleen is the best

Colleen Kelley is the best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure to retain. She has handled a previous case of mine where I was accused of identity theft and forgery. 2 felony cases that were ridiculous but after meeting with the DA numerous times the best deal he offered was a year in community correc...tions. After I hired Colleen she set up a meeting with an investigator. Unbeknown to her the investigator had bad intentions and tried to strong arm information out of me, and Colleen put a stop to it immediately and ultimately got the cased dismissed. I then had gotten in trouble for felony theft, felony pawnbroker violation, Felony attempting to influence, forgery, and alleged domestic violence. Colleen was able to get a global disposition. Which resulted in me pleading guilty to the pawnbroker violation, and a misdemeanor forgery. The Domestic violence and all other charges were dropped and I only got probation. Probation for 4 possible felonies and a domestic. I couldn’t be happier. And the flat rate instead of just paying a retainer and worrying about the “trust” injustice most lawyers pull gives a piece of mind when everything else is seemingly crumbling
