I came across an article about the qualities of a good lawyer and included compassion, ability to listen, assertiveness, creativity and perseverance. Mark Kelley has them all . His passion for the law and the respect he shows in the courtroom make him the person you want to represent you. I cannot thank him enough for his honest advice, hard work and determination.

Mark always kept me informed of the status of my case, upfront with costs/fees, and copies of documents. I very much appreciated his prompt responses to my emails/calls. If something was important to me, it was important to him. He really worked VERY hard to protect my interests and assets! He was truly my champion in the court room!! Mark and his staff are the examples of what a caring, honest, and hard working professional should be today! I will HIGHLY recommend Mark to anyone!

Mark Kelley was extremely compassionate, very intelligent, strategic, professional,and highly ethical! Above all else, "He was a man of his word!" Although he had the remarkable ability to remain calm during the stressful times, he was dedicated and aggressive in the courtroom and during negotiations.

Mark handled my divorce which involvedla multiple businesses, multiple real estate holdings, and reams of facts and information...to say it was a complex piece of litigation would be an understatement. He quickly and completely conducted an analysis, adopted a plan, and executed it to the outcome he predicted shortly after I hired him. He is "a lawyer's lawyer"!!!!! i would not hesitate to recommend his services and already have. Excellent attorney!!

Mark was recommended to me by my CPA, who is a trusted friend, as well. He handled my divorce efficiently and was supportive of my wishes in the matter. I was so pleased with his work on that case that I am now using him for my estate planning and wills. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to use him for matters relating to my small business. All members of the firm with whom I have dealt have been delightful.

Not only did Mark know my case better than ANYONE else in the room, he knew the law better than ANYONE in the room. A very hard worker and very ethical. Would recommend him to everybody who needs exceptional legal counsel.

Started out with a different lawyer, and was referred to Mark. I saw more results out of him and his office in one visit than I saw from previous lawyer in over a year. He and his staff was very professional. His expertise was very rewarding. I would highly recommend his service to anyone, and if I am in need of legal services, I will definitely contact his office.

Mark Kelley has represented our firm in matters relating to Guardianship, Contracts and General Legal Counsel. Mark's strengths are his ability to manage his client expectations with the governing law, keeping dialogue civil but firm with opposing counsel, negotiate fair resolutions, draft excellent letters, briefs and agreements and to do it with one interest, serving his clients best interest for a very reasonable fee. I highly recommend him and I will retain him again if necessary.
