Being in a car accident can be one of the most stressful situations in your life. Not knowing who to turn to or what to do just adds to your worries and stress. I was referred to Kelly Law Team by a family member and I tell you this experience with them has been a big stress relief. Starting with the first initial phone call to see if they would be able to assist me was pleasing to my ears. My appointment was set and my amazing experience began! I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination Kelly Law Team provided. The whole staff is truly amazing! Throughout my case, Mr. Miller was always quick to respond to me, made himself available to answer all of my questions and let me tell you I had a lot of questions. Mr. Miller was so patient and he kept me updated with the status of my case throughout my experience. I will refer all my family and friends to Kelly Law Team. I would like to thank and commend Mr. John Kelly and his amazing team for truly showcasing customer support at its finest! Kelly Law Team the Best in the West!
In June 2016 I was in an accident. John and Gary helped me through this terrible time in my life. They were there when I needed them, kept me informed and made me feel safe! I trusted them in every step! Thanks again John Kelly and his law team!

Great lawyer
I hired John because of a terrible accident I had last year in march. He has helped me so much so far; great thing about his firm is that every time I ask something through email or phone they give you the answer, they are very professional. As a client is good to have the iniciative to ask anything about your case so they can give you a response as soon as possible. They are always trying to help as much as they can. Highly recomended!

Him and Gary helped me through a very stressful time and I am very appreciative of all their time and effort they have put into my case. I would definitely recommend Mr. Kelly. He genuinely cares about your well-being and will NOT let you down.

Honest and personalized service
The entire Kelly Law Team was personable, honest, and committed to my case every step of the way. I always had someone give me answers each time a called. No voicemail and late call backs. They provided me with guidance in talking with the other insurance company so I could be properly compensated. Thanks for treating me like a person.

Personal injury claim
First I want to provide an enthusiastic positive recommendation for Kelly Law Team in Mesa. As background my wife and I were involved in a car accident while leaving the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year’s Day, 2014. The other driver immediately accepted full responsibility and never contested fault. And though we exclusively used auto repair and medical services recommended by her insurance company, their final settlement offer had us paying out of our pocket to cover some of the medical services. My attempts to settle this on my own proved fruitless. At the reference of a friend, I contacted the Kelly Law Team to see if they could be of assistance in this matter. From the minute we met with Gary Miller of the Kelly team the frustration of dealing with the insurance company was over. After a thorough review of the facts; Gary set out to work on our behalf. He worked both sides of the equation; negotiating with the Insurance Company on the settlement side, while also negotiating with the medical provider to gain concessions on the cost of the services provided. In the end instead of needing to come up with several thousand dollars out of pocket, after all expenses were settled, we received a fair settlement check from the insurance company. Working with Gary and the Kelly Team was a genuine pleasure. They diligently kept us informed of the status along the way, and always worked in an ethical and respectful manner. I will be using the Kelly Team for any of my future legal services

Lost in the woods.
I was charged by the state with several felonies. I knew they were bad but did not grasp the full extent until I spoke with John. He listened to my case, without judgment, and I saw that he felt an honest 'want' to help me with my situation. I was truly lost in the woods and almost lost my girls in the thick of it. He could tell that I was sincere with what was happening. He helped me get one of the charges dropped and no jail time. Best of all, I never lost my girls (thank God). John helped me find the best place to get out of the woods and into a better position. I think that John Kelly is a good man and will do what he can with whatever situation comes towards him.

I cannot recommend John's services enough
I cannot begin to tell you how much John's work means to be. He helped me get through the toughest year of my life and thanks to his hard work I have my life back. John always followed up and made sure that I was aware with what was going on with my case and did a fantastic job of searching through ever inch of information, without his eye for detail key parts of my case might have been missed. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need his services do not hesitate. He is professional, diligent, and kind. I never felt like income to him, I knew he cared and it showed. Again I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you John!

COMPETENT AND AGGRESSIVE
IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, MY WIFE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT IN AN EAST COAST STATE WHILE EN-ROUTE TO OUR NEW HOME IN ARIZONA.
UPON ARRIVING IN ARIZONA, I GOOGLED PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS AND PICKED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BEST AND CONVENIENT LAW OFFICE TO MY NEW LOCATION. AFTER 16 MONTHS WITH THIS FIRM, WE WERE GETTING NOWHERE AND OUR 2 YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS SEEMED TO BE APPROACHING AT A FAST PACE.
MY WIFE AND I SEVERED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT FIRM AFTER FINDING AND SPEAKING WITH BOTH JOHN AND GARY. THEY IMMEDIATELY GOT ALL OUR RECORDS FROM THE PREVIOUS FIRM AND STARTED AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN TO GET OUR CASE SETTLED WITH THE 2 INSURANCE COMPANIES INVOLVED AND GETTING OUR MEDICAL CLAIMS RESOLVED EXPEDITIOUSLY AND WITHOUT THE UNDUE TIME AND COST OF FURTHER LITIGATION.
DURING THIS TIME, DUE TO THE ACCIDENT AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, MY WIFE AND I NEEDED TO RELOCATE FROM ARIZONA BACK TO THE EAST COAST. OUR DISTANCE AWAY FROM JOHN AND GARY, AND OUR TIME ZONE DIFFERENCES DID NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE EFFECT AS THE LINES OF COMMUNICATIONS WERE ALWAYS OPEN VIA ALL MODES INCLUDING EMAIL, TEXT, AND PHONE.
MY WIFE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KELLY LAW TEAM, IF YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL WORK AGGRESSIVELY FOR YOU TO GET YOUR CASE SETTLED IN THE MOST FAVORABLE OUTCOME FOR YOU.
I WANT TO THANK PUBLICLY, BOTH JOHN AND GARY FOR THEIR TIRELESS EFFORTS IN RESOLVING OUR CASE AND HELPING US HAVE THE CHANCE AT REBUILDING OUR LIVES.
SCOTT AND CHRISTINE

When it comes to your life and trusting someone with it, all or nothing...THIS is the guy!!
I got some serious charges brought against me and found out soon after that I was grand jury indicted on those charges. I talked to a couple of lawyers and out of all that I talked to, John kelly was the only one that not only answered the phone directly without going through a bunch of different channels, but he also took the time to listen and was the only one who told me he could get me probation. All the other lawyers I talked to briefly, or their assistants, said probation probably wasn't an option. John said otherwise. He was so intelligent, he kept me updated and well-informed about what was going on with my case. He set up an amazing character defense and took the time to show the court who I was as a person. I was looking at anywhere from 7-15 years in prison. John got me what was called a non agreement plea, and I got probation with ZERO jail time! He was extremely responsive to every email and phone call, he was compassionate and understanding to my situations. I trusted John Kelly with my life, LITERALLY, and he did what he said, kept me informed, and assured me I was going to be okay and I was more than okay! John is the beyond most trusting and kind lawyer and I highly recommend him. With your life in his hands, he is trustworthy!

John Kelly is an amazing lawyer!!
John Kelly is a wonderful attorney, he was informing and always made sure my Fiance knew what was going on with his case, We retained John when my Fiance was first arrested and in county jail, John made sure to visit him every week just to let him know that he wasn't forgotten and was working hard on his case. John was able to lower my Fiances bail from an extreme amount to a much reasonable amount.
He always answered the phone or got back to us as soon as he could, and answered every question to the best of his knowledge. John Kelly is extremely intelligent, compassionate, and understanding. They were even denying my Fiances right to council, and John Kelly did everything he could to get that right back for him, and he was very successful.
Without John my Fiance would've been incarcerated for a very very long time, and John was able to get him less than 1/4 of what he was originally looking at. Not to mention he also was able to work on my Fiances personal injury case as well. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better attorney, John Kelly knows what he is doing, we wouldn't think twice to use him again, or recommend him to family.

Outstanding Lawyer
John Kelly is everything you could possibly want in a lawyer. He listened carefully to everything I had to say. He walked me through every possible option and decision that needed to be made. I was always very informed with where we were at in the case, and what would happen next. Anytime I needed to speak with him, he was always easy to get in touch with. I couldn't be happier with John and the work he did for me. I was facing a lot of charges for a crime I didn't commit and John made everything go away, and I never even had to step in a court room. If you are looking to trust a lawyer with your life, look no further. John Kelly, a true dark knight.
