Precise and No Nonsense

Mr. Kelly took our case, gathered the information and handled the response immediately with no nonsense. He was accurate, quick and took care of us in a professional manner. His contact with the court was persistent and finished our case with the best outcome possible. Highly recommend to handle your... case.

Tim Kelly Attorney at Law

Tim Kelly attorney at Law One of the required foundation blocks of a quality professional is a quality person, someone of solid character, impeccable honesty and integrity. Tim Kelly is in every sense one of those Quality professionals. I have come to admire Mr. Kelly as a person as well as an e...xceptional attorney. I had been falsely accused of assault by a troubled individual in my neighborhood. Scenarios such as these are always an uphill battle for the reasons that there were no witnesses, data processed first usually holds precedent in the human mind. And it is always easier to deceive someone than to convince someone they have been deceived. Extremely fertile ground for deception. As the result of Mr. Kelly’s many years of experience, intuitive nature and clever questioning he was able to quickly expose to the Court, the prosecutor and the jury my accuser’s dishonesty resulting in the jury returning a Verdict of not guilty on all charges. Mr. Kelly followed up in true Professional fashion by petitioning the court for a complete refund of all expenses incurred resulting from my accuser’s false allegations and the jury’s unequivocal verdict of not guilty. Thank you Mr. Kelly for the person you are and the skilful attorney you have become. I unconditionally recommend Tim Kelly [email protected] to all in need of quality,reliable legal representation. Sincerely Joseph M.

Tm Kelly can do great things!

Mr. Kelly is truly an amazing attorney. I have never been involved in a criminal incident in my entire life, but when faced with Felony charges, Mr. Kelly was able to negotiate with the deputy prosecutor assigned to my case and significantly reduce the charges against me. He is an honest attorney who... has been a defense lawyer in the area for 15 years. Everyone in the local area knows who he is. I was required to complete a number of different actions within the Kitsap County Court system, and when each office I dealt with asked who my lawyer was the response was always the same when I gave them Tim Kelly’s name. “Tim! I know Tim!” He has a repertoire with the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s office, as he has worked with the deputy prosecutor charging me for 15 years. He is also very familiar with the defense attorneys within the Kitsap County Defenders office. Mr. Kelly knew the defender initially assigned to my case as well as that defender’s qualifications and experience. He is encouraging, he doesn’t judge, and he allows you complete freedom to express yourself, your concerns, your anxiety, and your anger towards the confusion and chaos surrounding your situation. He is compassionate, and at your service. He works for YOU. Mr. Kelly was always available, and returned my emails the same day. He always had appointment space for me to meet with him. He was incredibly kind to both my young children when I was force to bring them with me to meetings. He had paper, pens, and a gentle demeanor to put them at ease while he updated me on my case. He also kept me calm, and clearly explained the process I was going through, as well as explained what to expect with each court date. (All the way up until the final district court date, which left me with a slap on the hand and a dismissal in two years!) In summary, Mr. Kelly is extremely well known and respected within the entire Kitsap County court system. Mr. Kelly is available around the clock, and he works for you. Mr. Kelly is compassionate, and honest. He puts your mind at ease and educates you as he walks you through the entire criminal process to, in my case, an extremely favorable end. I would highly recommend Tim Kelly as an attorney and I will always be thankful for what he quickly accomplish for me.

Amazing Attorney!!!

Mr. Kelly was and has continued to be an outstanding lawyer for me. He has been on retainer with me since 2012 and we are still in contact regularly. I have several legal issues varying from possible simple misdemeanors to DUI to Felony. Mr Kelly has fought honestly and extremely hard to always get m...e the best possible outcome. Not only is he amazingly skilled in his law practices but he went and visited me at inpatient treatment when I was trying to leave, calmed me down, and convinced me to stay and graduate treatment. He has also always kept me promptly informed on all of my court dates and his communication with members of the court. He has been truly kind to me and my family and has continuously kept my best interest as his top priority. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. He has played a large part in helping me to become clean and sober and better my life, which sometimes meant he was hard on me but it was constructive criticism which ended up being extremely helpful. He is also very reasonably priced especially considering he will go the extra mile or 2 for you.
