Mr. Kelley fills a very important niche in his practice area helping people in dire financial circumstances at a cost that fits their needs. He also employs a results-oriented focus in handling business transactions and business litigation. I have recommended Mr. Kelley to numerous potential clients over the years and have never been disappointed.
