He did not do what was best for me.

NO STARS. I hired Mr. Kelly to help me close a trust. When my sister wanted to buy the house from the trust, I told him to sell it to her. A month later he called and told me she did not buy it. I asked why and he said he raised the price $4995.00 more than I was asking. I asked why and he said he th...ought she would pay it. When we went to court to close the trust he did not tell me about the court date until it was too late to get a plane and attend the hearing. I live in Pennsylvania and he gave me only 20 hours notice of the hearing. He promised he would let me hear the proceedings by cell phone. He never called and I never talked to the judge. This service cost me over $10,000.00. There is much more he did not handle well. One star just to get this published.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
