Car accident

I got in a car accident involving four cars in 2014. Being a lawyer I thought I could handle the litigation of my property damage and medical bills myself. However, I was completely wrong. I hired Joe Kellener and Jon Rapel to assist me and thank god I did. The insurance told me flat out they wouldn'...t fix my car. Mr. Kellener made one phone call and within five minutes called me back and said my car would be fixed ASAP. Next came the year-and-half of medical treatment for my bulging discs caused by being hit twice. Again, Mr. Kellener and Mr. Rapel handled my case expeditiously and effectively. I ultimately got the settlement I wanted. They both took time to explain the strengths and weaknesses of my case and make me feel confortable with the process. (Having never dealt with personal injury before, I literally had no idea.) It was such a pleasure working with them both. I have already referred them to friends and family and certainly hope I won't need a lawyer again, but if I do, I know who my first call will be to! Thank you both gentelmen!

Debt collection

I'm very happy with the services and advice I obtained from Joseph he got me out of a tough situation when debt collectors would not stop harassing me over debts I did not have and from nonexistent debt collection companies. He was able to get them off my back and stop bothering me as well as making ...sure that none of this ever affected my credit. Thank you very much Joseph I really appreciate it.

MOST PREFERRED LAWYER TO DATE

Joseph Kellener was a tremendous help to myself and my family for many different legal needs we had. Joseph always had the right answer for us and gave us the best advice. He took care of our family as if he was our own. If you ever have a legal question, need advice or simply would like an attorn...ey who cares about your interest, JOSEPH IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED!

Excellent attorney

I was working on a serious felony case involving three co-defendants. Mr. Kellener was of great assistance in the preparation for and the execution of the questions related and pertinent to the depositions that pertinent to the case. The questions he provided assisted in giving greater insight to a... case that put both the state and witness on notice that we were prepared and ready for trial.

Disappointing.

Mr. Kellener was retained for a legal matter that, according to several other firms, should have been an easy win. I paid a $3250 fee up front, expecting thorough and attentive representation. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Communication was inconsistent, requiring many follow-ups ...for clarification, and after the case ruling, I did not receive a call nor was I given clear guidance on crucial next steps. Furthermore, key aspects of my case were not addressed. For example, there was no negotiation with opposing counsel; important details were overlooked and I received conflicting information. This resulted in confusion, lost time, and ultimately a negative outcome, which has had immense personal and financial consequences. Given the life altering impact this has had, it would be monumental if Mr. Kellener would refund the majority of his fee as a gesture of good faith. The funds are critically needed and would help in the recovery from the substantial difficulties that resulted. Hopefully, sharing these details helps others make an informed decision.
