In July 2023, I was injured in an auto accident when a car ran a stop sign and hit my car broadside, totaling it. I contacted the Kelly firm on the advice of a friend who highly recommended them. I did a quick Live Chat on-line and within 10 minutes I was talking with Denis Cooper, Director of Client Relations. During our 20 minute conversation, Denis emailed me the documents for me to fill out and sign electronically. I am not only quite impressed at the speed of getting onboard, but the thoroughness, courtesy and professionalism displayed by Denis. The very next day I received a call from Steff Giorgi who informed me that she'd be my case coordinator and my go-to person. I felt even more confident that I had made the right decision after our conversation. Before long, Steff and I were exchanging emails containing all of the information pertinent to my case. I also received many phone calls from Steff asking me how I was feeling and checking to see if I had any questions. Steff has been my close ally and my moral support from day one. She patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. Whenever I emailed Steff, she always responded immediately. Whenever I called Steff on the phone, she answered immediately. The cliche "Telephone Tag" is not in her vocabulary. Just as I said about Denis, Steff has been thorough, courteous, and professional the whole time. During the entire process, I feel that Steff and I were on the same team. I'm totally impressed with her work ethics, and I have the utmost confidence in and respect for Steff. I also received several phone calls from Michael Kelly himself. These calls meant a lot to me. Michael kept me up to date with the legal progress of my case in detail. At no time was I left with unanswered questions or with any doubts. Michael Kelly, in my opinion, is an upstanding guy who really cares about me as a person as well as a client. In fact, each and every person I dealt with on his Team gave me the very same impression. In conclusion, I thank the entire Kelly Team for all of their hard work they put forth in order to achieve a very satisfactory settlement of my case. I highly recommend Michael Kelly and his Team.Sincerely, Jim Ross, Jr.

This firm did an excellent job at communicating each process with me. I was rear ended and suffered injuries to my back. I was worried that I would have a bunch of expenses from my chiropractor, but Wascar and Chris were able to make sure that the insurance paid out throughout my treatment journey. I did not have to pay anything out of pocket and was able to attend all my sessions without the stress of having a bill afterwards. They’ve settled my case and I am happy with how everything turned out. Communication was 10 out of 10. I would strongly recommend this firm and I see why they have all those billboards, these guys really know what they’re doing.

Basic payout for a basic accident is $5,000 minus 1/3. Out of all the things I know and seen. 1st firm that didn’t jump at the 1st offer to move on to the next case. They started with me and rode it out until the amount was decent. Intake was easy and I was made to feel more than a job. But now they went state of the art and have an app called case status that gives up to date info on where case stands and progress. And another app thru the firm to direct connect with case manager or lawyer. 1st firm to bring the computer age in to my life.

Michael Kelly is an amazing firm. They put the people first. The other persons insurance company tried to say that we were at fault. But the other driver had ran a red light. Chris & Wascar helped us get camera footage from the streetlights and proved that we were telling the truth. They believed us when even our own insurance didn’t. They could tell from how we told our side of the story that we were telling the truth and they took the time to ask us questions and get to the bottom of it. I would highly recommend Michael kelly to my friends and family.
