Highly Recommended Attorney from a Skeptic!

I've fallen into the trap of hearing and experiencing poor legal representation... no joke! But hiring Paul Kelly restored my faith and confidence that every person is an individual; and you just find and work with trustworthy, competent, and caring PEOPLE. He did an awesome job for me and I highly... recommend hiring Paul. You won't be disappointed. "Thank you Paul for your service!"

Great Lawyer

Paul stood up to my half-brother who had been stealing from my grandfather for several months. I became my grandfather's conservator until he died and then Paul got my brother to return the money to the estate without having to file a lawsuit. I didn't have any money when I hired him, but he took my... case and managed to get everything resolved. I don't know what I would have done without him. What else can I say?

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.
