Amazing Attorney

He just took over and made my worries go away! Very thorough and always took the time to answer any questions. I would recommend 100%!

Review

Kelly was a good listener. He explained the process as the case moved along. He was also caring and understood our grief.

This case involved the wrongful death of the client's child in a tragic and avoidable drowsy driving accident. There was only limited insurance available from a judgement proof defendant with no assets. We tried several avenues to increase insurance coverage, but in the end, the policy limits on two policies was all we could recover for these clients.

Finally an honest attorney

I hired Kelly in my personal injury case with a disdain for attorney's. Kelly proved to me that there are good attorney's and most of all honest ones. His sense of humor throughout the proceedings helped to make it more pleasurable. Kelly got me the settlement value that we discussed up front in a... reasonable time frame keeping to his very reasonable fee agreement with no hidden surprises. I would use Kelly again in a second without hesitation and you should too. Kelly is not only highly knowledgeable about personal injury and insurance companies, he is a true fighter!

Shawn had been treated poorly by a couple of attorneys that legitimately soured his opinion of attorneys

Kelly jumped in and took care of business. Would reccomend him to anyone. Kelly was precise in his instructions for completing my part and took care in completing his. He responded promptly to phone calls and all my inquiries.

This client just needed some help resolving some liens on his settlement and execution of the agreements. We were happy to partner with his attorney to assist with the conclusion of the case and avoiding the efforts of the insurance company who wanted to reduce the settlement by several thousand dollars by paying some of it to another insurance company instead of to him.

Dog bite

Having never consulted an attorney before, we were unsure how this experience would be. Kelly patiently guided us through the process and explained how things would work, sometimes several times. Without his expertise, our experience would have been a nightmare. He was professional, engaging, and got... the job done for us. We would definitely retain him again, should the need ever arise.

  • 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.
