Available, knowledgeable, thoughtful, professional and gets results

I was rightfully charged with a minor criminal offense based on my own poor decision making. Although a minor offense, a charge on my record could interfere with possible job opportunities. I want to make sure I kept my options open and did not limit myself so I contacted Tim Kelly based on reviews... I read. What was most refreshing was Mr. Kelly's availability. You could always get a hold of him via phone or through email. The initial consultation was thoughtful and provided me with the confidence to move forward. My charge was so minor that there are built-in systems already in place to have the issue completely dismissed if a civil remedy is available. This requires filing the right paperwork with the right people. Without the need for a full retainer, Mr. Kelly and I were able to work out a deal that allowed me to save some money by doing some of the leg work myself. I really appreciated Mr. Kelly's willingness to find a solution that worked best for both of us. The end result is I had an arraignment that was only a formality. Reason being, is the case was already dismissed. I stood in front of the judge for less than 2 minutes. I was thanked by the judge and the prosecuting attorney for taking care of the issue both "professionally and in a timely manner." Wow! I was paid a compliment thanks to the help and guidance of Timothy Kelly. Great guy, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and available. I highly recommend Tim Kelly.

A great criminal defense attorney

Tim came into my life thru a tumultuous set of circumstances. I was incarcerated and told my brother I wanted the best attorney in the area. With Tim, I got just what I asked for. The best. My case was so convoluted most attorney's would not commit. Tim took the case, saved my sanity, insured I ...spent the least amount of time behind bars, helped me to get my family back together and was as genuine as they come. I not only gained a great lawyer through Tim but I gained a great friend to whom I am ever indebted, highly highly recommended.

The attorney you need.

Tim Kelly is there for you. He knows the legal system inside and out and is especially familiar with Kitsap County. In addition to being knowledgeable, he is responsive and keeps in constant contact. He is kind and caring, yet realistic. I would highly recommend this lawyer.
