Traffic Violations

Hired Law Firm

I was referred to Patrick Kelley for a traffic ticket. From my first phone call to the final verdict, Mr. Kelley and his paralegal stayed in contact with me. There were numerous phone calls and emails. I felt like family and not just a number. I was pleased with the outcome and would use them again. I highly recommend them for any of your legal needs.

Hired Law Firm

I hired Mr. Kelley to represent me on a traffic violation. What a great choice. He worked hard to get my charge reduced with no effect on my driving record. I did not even need to go to court and miss a day of work. I would recommend Mr. Kelley to anyone I know.

Hired Law Firm

I can’t speak for their representation for family law, but for criminal defense DO NOT hire this firm by any means whatsoever. I was assigned attorney Meixel to represent me who was inexperienced in dealing with my case, poor communication, gave me misinformation about the process and proceedings, had pushed off any discussion, gathering of evidence and strategizing about my case until the week of the hearing which was too late at that point and after contacting other lawyers after the decision, every lawyer informed me that she had been ineffective at representing me and poorly handled my case. One informed me that she had just passed the bar just a year prior to my case and only was listed as a family law attorney which was unknown to me. If I would’ve known sooner, I could have hired someone who was experienced in criminal defense that respected my time and treated my case fairly, requested a new attorney or would have had better luck representing myself.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
