        I was recommended to Evan through a Family Law attorney and I could not have been more pleased with my entire experience. Evan was quick to respond to our initial meeting . He quickly assessed the situation and those involved. He worked the case with professionalism and was always approachable which eased the situation we were dealt. I would feel very comfortable suggesting Evan Kelly and his Legal Services to all Family and Friends. Brian K.

        I highly recommend Evan. Throughout the entire process, he listened and clearly explained what to expect along with any options that might be available to me. Having the right relationships within the court is a big advantage and really assisted in brining my case to a favorable conclusion. I can’t thank Evan enough for his efforts.
