Highly Recommend

Dean is phenomenal. I contacted him for assistance with a debt collection issue regarding a gym contract. Thanks to him I was able to come to a much more agreeable conclusion with the opposing party than I would have been able to on my own. I spoke with Dean on the phone about my issue and he explain...ed to me in great detail the legality of the matter, my options, as well as potential ways to proceed. Over the next few weeks I emailed Dean who was very quick to respond and give updates with how the situation was unfolding, his customer services is second to none. Even over email he did an excellent job answering any questions I had and explaining my options. I could not recommend utilizing his services highly enough. If you are in the market for an attorney look no further.

Prompt, professional and friendly

Kelly has been a great help in reviewing my kids' college leases over the years (via Arag services). These leases vary all over the place, and Kelly has been very helpful in pointing out areas of concern, non-standard aspects, and even just confirming we understand the standard terms that we are sig...ning-up to. He is prompt, professional and friendly in working your case. I would highly recommend Kelly for your legal needs.

very happy with Kelly

I needed a lawyer to help with a mechanics lien slapped on our house. I phoned a few possible lawyers, and settled on Kelly on the basis of a conversation that convinced me he knew what he was doing and was easy to work with. I have only been pleased with how he handled everything after that, from wr...iting letters, tracking county records, offering strategic advice, keeping me informed, knowing key deadlines, etc. I feel very lucky to have found someone of his caliber just by calling around. Yes, I'd go to him again, without hesitation, if anything similar ever came up.

Excellent Advice and Assistance

I have utilized Kelly's services on several matters. He began by listening to the relevant facts on several debt collection matters, and provided several alternatives for each matter. This enabled me to choose the alternative that I believed to be the best for my situation. Once I chose the ...direction that I believed best, he worked to negotiate a resolution that fitted my needs. Some of these negotiations were with very difficult creditors. Based on my personal experience with Kelly, I have found him to be an excellent listener. His advice has been sound, and his negotiations top tier. I would say that my best recommendation is that I would utilize his services, should the need arise, without hesitation.
