Exceptional, Outstanding, Caring, Superb...are only a few words to describe Kelly!

Kelly is OUTSTANDING! The entire team was behind me and my family 100%. I never had a doubt that this was the right firm for us. After consulting with two lawyers/firms we had all but given up until we met with Kelly. He was so personable, thorough, and understanding of our situation. He always ...had our best interest during such difficult circumstances. He fought to great extent for my family. Kelly, thank you for your compassion, attention to detail and taking the time to address all of our concerns. I don’t have words to thank him enough for everything he has done. We are extremely grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly.

This was an accident where our client suffered a sever brain injury and was denied coverage from the insurer because they thought they could invoke the "commercial truck" exclusion. Unfortunately, the truck was only a 10 foot box van. Ultimately, the we pursued the insurance company for bad faith and instead of paying their $300,000 limits they paid several million dollars which was badly needed by this family to care for their sister and daughter.

Called Kelly after...

I called Kelly after an accident. He was calming reassuring and understanding of my situation. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

This young woman was hit by a uninsured drunk driver. If that was not bad enough, her own insurance tried to claim her coverage lapsed and an in depth and intense examination under oath process began where her own insurer was adverse to her in 4 different examinations under oath with a very aggressive law firm. In the end, the insurance company acquiesced that the coverage was valid and we are about to get them to tender the policy limits.

Posted by Troy | April 23, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

The Right Man For Us

My wife had a slip and fall accident that has forever changed her life and all of the lives of those who love her. The doctors all agree she will end up with an above the knee amputation due to the negligence of another party. We called several other attorneys and we got mostly apathy. Not from Kelly... ! Our case has yet to go to be litigated, but he has been so through and professional. From the beginning he has been personable, empathetic, and so very kind I have no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision to call Kelly. I highly recommend Mr. MacFarlane. Stay tuned, more to come. Troy Stay tuned. More to come

We were able, after hiring an expert and filing a complaint and taking out of state depositions to get this matter settled for these clients $155,000.

We were able to get John's case settled for the policy limits quickly and now are getting his UIM limits tendered from his own insurance carrier.

Quick and painless

Kelly went above and beyond to help settle our motorcycle accident claim. He is very thorough and explains everything in detail. In a time of chaos and pain he helped calm our minds knowing we had the best lawyer on our side.

This case was so important because we rushed to get it done so quickly that the health insurance company could not file liens on their settlement and take their money from them. It all went to the family to help with his recovery. And they were great clients to work with.
