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!

Class act all around

Kelly helped me with my DUI case and he was a blast to work with. He is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.

This saved me from lots of trouble in the future and I can’t be thankful enoug...h for his hard work and dedication toward my case.

Professional, Ethical and Gets Great Results!

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness and great service I received from Kelly Monaghan and team at Baxter Harder law firm. From the very first call, everyone I spoke to treated me with respect and honesty. I was caught up in an unfortunate situation with a neig...hbor where I ended up with the brunt of the legal and financial problems. Kelly and team were proactive and provided me with great advice for what to do and then submitted everything to support my case. In the end, I got an even better result than I dared hope for - the charges against me were completely dropped. This would not have happened without the involvement and direction from Kelly and team. Thank you so very much for helping me in my time of need!
