Cases
Evan was able to get all charges against me dismissed. Could not have expected a better outcome. The best decision I made was dismissing my previous attorney and retaining Evan.
From Ted B.
Evan Kelly is definitely the go-to guy you want standing by your side in the courtroom. His thorough understanding of criminal law and his legal connections in the DA's office give you the best odds of a favorable outcome.
Jake K.
Although my case was not a high-profile case, Evan Kelly gave it his complete attention. Throughout the last two months, he has kept the family informed and acted as a mentor to my grandson.
Warren B.
In order to get my case properly resolved, I've interviewed six lawyers. Kelly is the only lawyer who thinks that the government has a weak case and we should fight for it. We won!
