John Michael Kelly

I came into this office after speaking with several other firms in a 40 mile radius including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Century City and downtown LA. Michael Kelly stood out boldly. His team and he personally took on a very small, (meaning short marriage), but very difficult divorce case with ...a soon to be ex who was highly dishonest and not forthright whatsoever all. He lead the team with tenacity and soul. He watched over my costs like a hawk and was completely open to my calls and those of my family who where of course concerned for me. His team consisted of multifaceted lawyers who knew the depth of physiology of divorce and my ex vs. how he would react and how it would hit me and in house, detail oriented investigators who saved me from having to hire an outside forensic team and office support team who managed endless emails and calls from me. They stopped me from allowing my emotions to get the best of me and the case. Could have cost me over $100K if I had landed at the wrong firm. I listed to them completely and took every piece of advice and guidance and I came out aok. At the end, the painful bill was there staring at me in the face as was the overhead I had taken on for lack of funds from my ex during the entire process. When I finally had the chance to move and get out from the dark all encompassing cloud of the process of this divorce, I was in awe of the dedication, attention to detail, and pure tenacity his firm took on with just my little case I was so very thankful and realized what a deal I got and not just financially. I never once felt abundant or ignored, never was left hanging, was not given one piece of incorrect information and only received excellent professional and personal guidance and advice. It was well worth the costs and I know would have cost me 10's of thousands more if I had not landed in John Michael Kelly's firm; Kelly Fernandez Karney. Cannot recommend them enough. Listen to them and you will come out of your legal situation just fine and with your chin up and shoulders in tact. Good luck!

They did such a good job on my divorce I am seeking their expertise and advice with my own new business. What makes me continue to utilize this firm is their pure honesty and forthright behavior. They managed my divorce with such dedication to my well being and my costs that I have decided they w...ill handle all contracts and legalities for me for my personal and professional life. You cannot go wrong with this firm. They have a diversified group of attorneys whom all have soul, serious soul to win and win with integrity for the client and within the law.

It was my very good decision to hire Law offices of Kelly, Fernandez & Karney. Not only they helped me make the right decision during the divorce proceedings saving time and money but also guide me though the whole process in layman's terms. I would like to make a strong recommendation for hiring ...this firm who have excellent attorneys and staff. Mayur Shah

I am still in the midst of my divorce case and it's a kicker tearing me inside out and let me tell you I could not have landed in a better firm. They are managing me terrifically. There have been times when they could have milked me pushing ideas of restraining orders etc..when I became distraugh...t and they didn't. There are many wrong turns I could have taken that could have derailed my case but they have kept all aligned in a conservative and smart, tactical way. One of the partners need special mentioning. If you are looking for a firm who has a bull dog, sharp edge, seriously educated and tactical interrogator...Mark Karney is your man. He is a rock in court and in the way in which he manages his case. He's very, very tough and I would fear being interrogated by him for anything! Their support team is top notch.. They immediately respond and never leave you hanging and are concise and extremely professional. The treasure in the core of this group is their soul commitment to doing right and good by their client and managing that client in a multi- tiered fashion, as not to incur unnecessary costs, keeping a very upset client grounded and keeping me railed and grounded to the law vs. emotional expectations caused simply by the pain of divorce. I am extremely pleased with not just the leadership of Michael Kelly, but with his partners and his entire support team and highly recommend you meet with them before you commit to any other attorney. You will not be disappointed.
