About Kelly
Biography
Having spent my entire career focused on Oregon criminal law and investigations and building my resume as a successful trial attorney, I am proud to use my unique skills and experience to the service of clients facing an array of criminal charges. As a former prosecutor in multiple Oregon jurisdictions, I understand how to level the balance of power between the state and the accused, and pride myself on my record of satisfied clients who have achieved successful outcomes in the face of fear and uncertainty. I firmly believe that when someone is faced with criminal accusations, they deserve exceptional and zealous representation from an attorney who inspires hope and confidence.

Was referred to Kelly Monaghan by a friend for a complicated and sensitive matter and was absolutely impressed with his professionalism and sensitivity. He knows how to talk to a family and put things in plain English. Will absolutely reach out to him in the future for all my legal needs.

Kelly Monaghan - Ace Attorney!
Kelly provided a lot of help for a very reasonable fee. He was able to make multiple (increasingly better) deals with the DA, and was even able to get all of my initial hearings (and overall case) dismissed. Not even an arrest on my record! Not to mention his quick-witted sense of humor kept me cheer...

Excellent Interation
I couldn't recommend more highly. Kelly made navigating my case easy. Thorough explanations were offered, and answers to questions (even ones I hadn't yet asked) were always thoughtfully explained. Rates are competitive and reasonable, and ultimately my outcome successful. Thank you!!

Perfect, fast efficient and done in one week.
Kelly Monaghan and his team were great! No worries on paperwork or emails as they were always on time. This was the best Lawyer I've ever had and I've had a few. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer, the cost for what he did was totally worth the money.
