"I endorse this lawyer.I endorse this lawyer. Why? If you read several answers to questions by persons on AVVO and compare the answers you will notice Kelly takes the time to carefully and fully (and accurately) explain the answer to the questions when possible. Click on answers of his here on AVVO and you will see what I mean. Having practiced myself 29 years and filed over 5,400 bankruptcy petitions I appreciate attorneys who take the time to give your information that you sought. After all, is that not why you asked? So go to an attorney who you will receive such quality representation by. Great job to Kelly too!"

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.
