Kelly Ann Booth

Our family used Kelly for one of our members but ended up firing her. At first she talked a big game but that was it, just talk. She was only after the money. Once the contract was signed then came the bad service. She was disorganized and a poor listener. Her attitude was that she couldn’t be bother...ed answering questions. She was frequently trying to cut corners and do the least work possible. After firing Kelly she wouldn’t pay back money that she rightfully owed. To me Kelly is the worst kind of low-quality lawyer whose specialty is scamming people’s money but giving little in return. Very disappointed and I’d never use her again

Kelly Ann Booth is so inept and lazy that she managed to screw up the simple task of renewing a judgment. On May 27th 2005 in Second District Court in Ogden, Utah we were awarded a $30,704 judgment against two company embezzlers. After several years we located one embezzler in Kalispell, Montana. But... prior to garnishing wages and recovering our stolen money, the judgment had to be renewed for another eight years. On February 15th, 2013 Kelly Ann promised to renew the judgment. On April 26th, 2013, we called the court clerk to ensure that we could lawfully enforce the judgment. The clerk said that Kelly Ann had not completed the renewal process. We immediately informed Kelly Ann who promised to finalize the renewal process before the judgment expired in a month. But she was either ignorant of the law, too lazy, or both, to actually complete the easy process of submitting a judgment renewal order for the judge to sign and for the court to record. Then, when not avoiding our phone calls, Kelly Ann falsely claimed to have subsequently completed the renewal. But this was a lie and our original judgment expired on May 27th 2013. Thanks to Kelly Ann’s mistake, her dishonesty and her poor quality work, we lost our right to collect any of our stolen money. The bottom line is that Kelly Ann Booth was initially ignorant of the law and afterwards too lazy to make sure that the job was done right. And when we confronted her she wouldn’t even take responsibility. She just started talking out of both sides of her mouth and lying more. I regard her as a bad lawyer and as an even worse person.

As a former client of Kelly Ann Booth, my unfortunate experience was of her being an incompetent and dishonest attorney who consistently acted deceitfully. In March 2010 I contracted with Kelly Ann Booth to collect a significant amount of collectable money. In January 2014 I terminated our relati...onship after one of Ms. Booth’s employees revealed that Ms. Booth had repeatedly lied to me regarding case work that she falsely claimed to have performed. In reality, Ms. Booth performed very little work. And the minimal work that she did perform was of such poor quality that it ultimately damaged my case. Further, I learned that Kelly Ann Booth had continually lied about the status of my case. Yet contrary to her falsehoods, eventually it became apparent that her indifference, sloppy work and dishonesty had ruined every aspect of my case to the point that it became worthless. This is specifically why, for good reason, her law license was suspended by a district court judge on April 6th, 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her law license suspension is proof that my review here is accurate. And that is the real Kelly Ann Booth. My advice, based upon my lengthy client experience with Kelly Ann Booth, is for anyone seeking quality legal representation to avoid her. In my opinion, they would be far better served employing a competent and honest attorney. And that, from my experience with her, is most certainly not Kelly Ann Booth.

I Hired Kelly to represent me back in 2011 to represent me, but it wasn't in only three short weeks, I was picked up on a warrant. Kelly was suspose to notify the county that I would voluntarily turn myself into the county jail for processing, put up bailbondsman and return home the same day. ... Upon being arrested, I was told by Kelly that the county's attorney was busy, and that she could not get a hold of him to set turning myself in. This wasn't so because they are never too busy to not accomodate a fugitive. While in lock up, and on the fifth day Kelly did make an appearance for me before the judge. Upon filing a writ of habeas corpus and posting bail, the judge released me. For the next 4 years, I was told time and time again that my case would eventually be dismissed and that it would never go to trial. In June of 2015, and on the eve of trial, I get a letter from the clerk of court that the judge approved her motion to withdraw as counsel. I was never notified at any time prior so you could imagine my surprise when I realized that my attorney hung me out to dry again. This time my due process rights were violated. Kelly never called or write to say she planned on withdrawing as counsel due to a personal conflict which had nothing to do with me. Instead, I found out from the clerk of court weeks later after the judge approved her motion to withdraw, and just several weeks before the trial which was already postponed 7 times by her for reasons of her own doing. During the initial court appearance Kelly was 45 minutes late as she was cited for speeding. Well, when learning of the judges order granting her the permission to withdraw, I immediately called her demanding answers. Next, I asked for my fee of $10,000 back but She refused despite having signed a contract with me that she would take my case to trial should it come to that. Her excuse, I couldn't get a hold of you. My home nor cell phone number had not changed over the four years. She could have sent me an email or written letter. That's four ways to contact me. I was and am still surprised the judge approved her motion to withdraw without first asking for my input. What court did ask for by letter was that I needed to now find an attorney, and had to furnish the name within a month's time. Kelly suggested that I hire her friend who was an experienced lawyer and that he would reach out to me in a few days, and his fee would be $2,500. Turns out he wanted $3,500. I could not make a decision until weeks later upon doing my due diligence because I did not want to find myself in the same position again while having spent my entire savings, I had to borrow the money from my parents which I'm still paying off. During the same conversation, I asked her to send me my entire case file. She refused to send me case files time and time again while sending her text messages, emails, left phone messages. To no avail she never sent the files to me. So happens the attorney she recommended was quite good as he was able to get a plea deal within a few months of negotiations with the county's attorney which she failed to do in the five years prior. Because by this time, I was already in the fifth year of this ordeal hanging over me. A silent probation if you want to call it that. Not knowing from week to week with certainty nor confidence what will happen.

I hired Kelly Ann to help me reduce some charges that were interfering with an immigration case I had going on at that time and she was very honest from day one and while she was working on my case there were a few complications but she went far and beyond to help me get what I needed done. She was p...ersonally coming to my work to talk to me about what happened in court every time and she made a lot of trips to my town which happens to be 4 hrs away from where she is located and never charged me travel time. I highly recommend Kelly Ann and her staff because they are very professional, answered all my questions every time and they make their clients feel like they're in great hands right away. If you're looking for help with any criminal cases you cannot go wrong with Kelly Ann. She dedicates all her time into her cases and puts 100% effort into everything to assure you that she is going to try her hardest to get what you need done! I appreciate every single thing she did for me because I had a very complicated case but she never gave up!! She was always working as hard as she could just to help me with my case and even though it took a long time due to the fact that prosecutors and judges wouldn't cooperate she still got all my stuff done and was very happy she was able to get my charges reduce and on time so I could move on with my immigration case. Again if you need any help with criminal cases you won't be disappointed when you work with Kelly Ann!!! She's the best!
