Michael Louis Kelly

This firm represented me in a mass tort. Because I'm in an active Chapter 13 bankruptcy I need court approval though the trustee to accept the settlement offer and attorney fees. I explained this to the attorneys office several times and was told they do not practice bankruptcy law, so I explained i...t to them. The settlement offer came in and I immediately sent to my bankruptcy attorney who then presented to the trustee for approval. My attorney then needed to draw up a motion for the trustee to put in writing the terms for the approval of the settlement. Motion submitted, settlement approximately $113K, trustee wants $90K. Or the settlement is rejected. Order submitted and signed by a judge, in December 2019. Order sent to attorney January 10, 2020. Order has been ignored. Told by attorneys office claims administrator was never sent the order, order uploaded on February 3, 2020. Order still ignored. Per attorneys office claims administrator wants to verify the trustee is following section 541 of the bankruptcy code and needs paperwork from trustee. This is false. Of course the trustee is following section 541 of the bankruptcy code and the trustee has sent paperwork, a court order with the amount and how the distribution is to be made. The trustee has spoken through the order signed by a judge. I have tried to follow-up to no avail, and have received no return calls. I called on 2/24/20 because I had found out that a hearing was sechduled. Someone was to call back and no on did. Of course I'm angry and upset. I can only imagine if I were to ignore a court order, I would be in contempt. Every time your office needed something immediately for court the next day, week, you got it.

I was involved in an auto accident where the other party wrongly denied liability. Needless to say, I was anxious beyond belief, but once I contacted Michael he quickly made things right. Not only did he leverage the law to get the offending party to admit liability, he resolved my situation in recor...d time. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough.

Michael Kelly represented me in pivotal “bet the company” damage claim against a major wall street firm. The defendants and their lawyers were less than “honorable” in defending the despicable acts approved at the highest levels of the corporation. After nearly two and one-half years of internation...al discovery, dozens of depositions, court delays, frivolous appeals and challenge to a trial court judge, the matter came to trial. Defendants hired private investigators, jury consultants, dozens of mock jurors, media consultants, trial testimony preparation consultants and conducted mock trials. Mr. Kelly and his legal team accepted every deceitful and devious tactic of the defendants with respect for legal tenets, principles and ethics. After nearly two months of trial, Mr. Kelly prevailed on my behalf. I was thrilled with Mr. Kelly’s legal expertise and calm demeanor. He was always prepared and several steps ahead of the deceptive acts of defendants and their lawyers. The defendants did not fare well and filed for bankruptcy within less than a year after trial. Michael Kelly is a very fine and honorable advocate for his clients.
