About Kelly

Biography

I am a career trial attorney who has dedicated my practice to criminal law and investigations. I pride myself on delivering personalized attention to each case and client. From DUI to major felonies, I have the knowledge and experience necessary to secure the best possible outcome to your case.

As a former prosecutor, I understand how crimes are investigated, charged, and ultimately prosecuted, and I use this unique knowledge and experience to the service of my clients no matter the charge. I am proud of my history of satisfied clients who have reached successful results in their cases.

If you are facing a DUI, I strongly believe you deserve a dedicated advocate to protect your rights and driving privileges. I provide a thorough review of each DUI case to ensure my clients have every available option and defense available to them, and have a history of securing great results.

Excellent and Professional

Kelly is very knowledgeable and professional. He walked me through every step of the process since I am not familiar with the court system and put any of my concerns to rest. He was able to schedule a settlement conference to resolve the matter in the best way possible. I highly recommend Kelly an...d his team.

Excellent and compassionate attorney.

I had a very serious issue with the courts and I needed someone who could get in front of a judge immediately and have an order ammendee as I didn’t have a case number yet it was very hard to get information and u also had very little resources. Kelly was compassionate kind and thorough and did what ...he could for me to get the matter resolved in my favor expeditiously. He listens very well and it is clear that he really cares about his clients. Once I talked with him I felt much more calm and assured and when we went to court things went as well as I believe they possibly could have. I also have severe ADHD and was very stressed when I was speaking with him and he was very kind and understanding with like my quirks and interruptions while being able to keep my on point and related the information I needed effectively to me in that state. I cannot recommend Kelly Monaghan enough. He is obviously extremely sharp about the law and will fight hard for his clients but he also is just a very good human overall! Thanks Kelly!

Best lawyer ever!

Most proficient, kind, and helpful law group I have ever interacted with! I was in need of some legal advice and didn’t know where to turn. I happened to find the phone number for this legal group, and Kelly Monaghan was so kind and helpful, and made sure I understood what was going on during my lega...l process and what steps I needed to take. He made what should’ve been a very stressful/confusing time extremely easy, and made sure I understood exactly what was going on. He went out of his way to make sure this process was as stress free as possible. If you are in a situation like mine and need legal help, I would recommend going to Kelly Monaghan!
