Kelly William J

What can I say about Bill Kelly? The most important thing for me to say about Bill now is that he is a trusted and valued friend. The most important things for me to say about Bill for the years he represented me was that he was a fierce advocate, a diligent and highly competent professional, and a compassionate and caring human being. Bill doesn’t leave who he is at the courthouse door; he takes his integrity, honor, and decency straight before the bench. Bill was placed in a seemingly impossible position with my case, and he fought honorably and diligently on my behalf. I was, by all measure, a terrible client. I have a Type A personality, I don’t take “no” for an answer, and I can let my emotions get the better of me. Bill was wise enough to give me space when I needed it, to confront m

Mediation with Bill Kelly was a more trying process than anticipated. I had hoped to see it as an overall positive experience to provide closure, but am left feeling unsettled months later. I do appreciate that he exerted some effort so both parties might come to some sort of accordance - as is expected of a mediator. However, there were a couple of instances where his knowledge of family law seemed less than secure, and instead of taking a moment to fact check, he tried to power through and dismiss our questions.

As far as a mediator is concerned, Mr. Kelly was biased in his opinion and lacked knowledge in family law as far as our probate was concerned. When questioned on what laws the other party was citing, he admitted he didn't ask - meaning he just took the other lawyer at his word and tried to make it appear as if we had a weak case. It was a waste of time and money and I am sad to say that I knew that going in but I still made an attempt to keep an open mind. He gets one star for for the poor attempt, waste of money and asserting an additional charge after we had already said we were walking away. The extra $50 was that important to him instead of us saying NO.....STOP.

Great Lawyer and staff. Won my case. Will always use Mr. Kelly for legal representation if needed.

Excellent lawyer.
