Great Experience (If you have to be in a legal dispute anyways)

My experience with Mr. Kelleher was exceptional. He was punctual, always returned my calls and kept me updated as to the status of my legal case. I had Mr. Kelleher review a waiver and release agreement to which I would not know how to have handled it. He spoke with my previous employer and got th...ings taken care of both professionally and timely. I would definitely recommend him and his firm!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
