Professional, and Efficient

Emily was a great communicator with us, very efficient, timely, helpful, professional and easy to work with! Many variables in our case, with out-of-state property holdings, unknown facts, survivor benefits, We highly recommend her!

Emily Kelly

Knowledgeable, friendly, cooperative, keeps client informed, prompt response to questions. She guided me through the very complex situation of establishing guardianship for my wife who is suffering from Alzheimers.

Emily Kelly, A Trustworthy Lawyer

Emily Kelly helped direct my underage (at the time) daughter & I through the legalities and consequences of her Dad's death in regards to real & fiscal responsibilities. She always returned calls, was solicitous in her advice and manner & helpful in every way possible. She has the ability to smooth o...ver unpleasant times whether it be with your situation and/or other lawyers.

"Emily is an outstanding young lawyer and exemplifies all the traits I look for when I need to refer matters for estate planning or guardianship issues: she's extremely intelligent and always very professional, but she also possesses a warm demeanor and a wonderful personality that make her a pleasure to work with. Is it possible that lawyers can be not only diligent craftsmen of documents and navigators of our legal system, but trusted advisers that you can count on? Absolutely. One need look no further than Emily Kelly, a rising star in Washington state legal practice."

Avvo Rating

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.
