Excellent co-counsel in estate planning case

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Kelly on a case where my client, who is a resident of Washington, needed the help of California attorneys. Mr. Kelly has a very in-depth knowledge of estate planning in California. He is also a gentleman and shows compassion for the client.

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.
