Law Office of Attorney Arthur L. Kelly

NOT GUILTY. That's the result - and I owe it to Attorney Arthur Kelly. Arthur took my case during one of the hardest times of my life, when I was overwhelmed and financially stretched. He worked with me directly, kept me steady, and guided me through every step without ever sugarcoating a thing. He was honest, realistic, and focused - no fluff, no false hope - and because of that, we made the right decisions and won. What I noticed most was how respected he is. Judges, clerks, other attorneys - everyone in that courtroom knew him and treated him with genuine regard. That kind of reputation matters, and it made a difference. Arthur kept me out of prison and kept me fighting when I didn't think I had anything left. He's a good man, a fair lawyer, and someone I'd recommend without hesitation.

I retained Attorney Arthur L. Kelly to defend me in a high-stakes felony Assault & Battery case that ran over 2 years. The charge carried a potential sentence of more than ten years imprisonment and arose from a domestic incident in which I was the victim and 911 caller, yet the allegations were completely inverted against me. The complainant was represented by an expensive crisis management law firm, with substantial resources and a full team arrayed against me. By contrast, Attorney Kelly--a highly accomplished solo practitioner--represented me at a fee that was fair and reasonable, especially given the duration, complexity, and intensity of the matter. Throughout the contentious proceedings Mr. Kelly remained an unwavering pillar of strength and strategic brilliance. In the weeks before trial, the Commonwealth signaled willingness to resolve the case with a Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF). Attorney Kelly took the time to explain, clearly and thoroughly, all ramifications of accepting a CWOF versus proceeding to trial--both the short-term advantages and the long-term consequences for my record, employment prospects, and future background checks. Despite his thoughtful recommendation to consider taking CWOF, I elected to proceed to a bench trial. Mr. Kelly respected my decision without hesitation and prepared accordingly. The result was nothing short of extraordinary. Moments before the judge entered the courtroom, the assistant district attorney openly told the clerk that the Commonwealth was prepared to lose against Attorney Kelly. In a masterful half-hour cross-examination, Kelly exposed fatal inconsistencies in the complainant's testimony and behavior, causing the entire prosecution case to collapse, without a need for me to testify or present evidence. The judge ultimately entered a finding of not guilty, declaring on the record that the evidence could not support guilt even under the directed-verdict standard of accepting every Commonwealth assertion as true. Arthur Kelly achieved outright acquittal, being unmatched in skill, intellect, and tenacity. Over the past 2 years of court appearances I also observed Attorney Kelly zealously advocate for numerous other clients, including in his role as bar advocate (public defender), across a wide spectrum of charges and client circumstances. His commitment to justice and to every individual he represents is unmistakable. I recommend Attorney Arthur L. Kelly without the slightest reservation. He combines the highest caliber of legal ability and courtroom advocacy with unflagging dedication and genuine concern for his clients' best interests. If you face serious criminal charges and want not only a brilliant strategist but also an attorney who will fully inform you and honor your decisions while fighting relentlessly for the best possible outcome, Arthur Kelly is simply one of the finest lawyers you could retain.

Been a long time but Arthur is a pitbull,he not only knows the laws ten fold he is incredible at what he does...you want someone that will battle for you he is the best at what he does

Attorney Kelly is simply a great person. My experience with him starts with that. He represented my son on a matter, and his guidance was both legal, but also personal. He just knows how to talk things through and then works together to make great legal decisions. Throughout the process, his expertise became more and more evident. It's comforting to know you're in good hands with someone that actually cares about who they represent, genuinely. Thank you Arthur.

Attorney Kelly has represented various members of my family for many years. He has always shown a level of dedication that I believe goes well beyond what is typically expected of an attorney. His efforts have definitely impacted positively the lives of these people on so many levels. The attorney he is can be summed up as caring, compassionate, tough and experienced. I highly recommend Arthur Kelly to anybody that is need of help.
