Kelley W Collier PA

Kelley and his office stuff have been amazing. Dealing with a loved one in jail is not for the faint of heart and this is the first time i've ever had to deal with it. They answered any and all questions i had & even worked out a payment plan! Highly recommend Kelley Collier

Let me first start off by saying that the justice system for people of color is a joke. I contacted Attorney Kelly Collier for representation by a referral of Zona Long Bailbond in Bartow. Being that my family had never had to seek bail or a defense attorney we weren't familiar with either company. We selected the two above mentioned companies. Not one of best decisions. I should have been alarmed when I was advised by the bondsman that they were legally unable to provide any attorney info but just so happen to have Attorney Colliers contact information visible for me to use. Once the initial meeting with Mr. Collier took place he was paid in full. He advised that he would be getting with the state to discuss if charges would even be filed against his newly hired client. We met Mr. Collier on 4/24/23 he seemed as if he was truly going to be able to assist in the matter. At time of initial meeting Mr. Collier was made aware that the potential plaintiff want to sign a waiver of prosecution but due to personal reason was unable to go to courthouse. I asked as the attorney for defendant would he be able to assist with get the waiver completed, his response was less that helpful. He could care less with assisting with clearing his clients name. From that point forward he was just another body at every appointment and seemed to never know what was going on. He was late to every hearing never recognized his client when he finally showed up. Just tacky and very unbecoming. He allowed the courts to continue to drag out proceedings instead speaking up on his clients behalf. The case was drug on for 7 months and Mr. Collier did absolutely nothing. He rarely answered the phone or responded to emails. On the morning of the final hearing 11/08/23 Mr. Collier was yet again late and walked into the courtroom and could not identify his client. As I sat in the hall he walks out and I addressed him. There is no victim & no actual proof of a crime committed so we are still uncertain how the state has a case. He acted as if he was dumbfounded as to this news. Yet he has the audacity to tell me the state wants to offer his client 1 year of probation. Funny thing is he never notified his client prior to this hearing. He assumed that we would accept this under duress. I instantly said no and it’s time for him to do his job. At this time he proceed to tell me that he is working two courtrooms and would be back. I had to the remind him that he has been paid in full & this defendant is also just as important even if he can’t remember his name or face. Time comes as his client stands before the judge the charges are instantly dropped. But of course had we accepted that one year of probation he would be another victim of the unjust justice system. We paid Attorney Collier for representation and almost got railroaded. To make matters even worse he wants to charge $500 to assist with record expungement. I would NOT recommend this attorney to anyone. Did not feel that he valued the importance of ensuring that my family was vindicated.

10/10 would recommend. Showed up my bfs first appearance with no money down or anything just trust that we would pay him. Then proceeded work out a deal with us to do payments. Not even 3 weeks later we get told all charges were dropped. He's worth the money and works with you.

Man is legit. Caught two charges and a ticket and in less than a month, he had the ticket and one charge dismissed and the other charge reduced to nothing more than a fine. And for icing on the cake, he only charged me a fraction of what I have paid for other attorneys in the past. Furthermore, I was kept informed FAR more than any other attorney I have ever worked with. He has represented me and a plethora of people I know and none of them have ever had a compliant. Bottom line, Mr. Collier is the ONLY attorney I trust to represent me going forward. Hire him and his team and you won’t be disappointed!

Mr. Collier is an excellent attorney. He is thorough and attentive. I highly recommend him to everyone I know who needs representation. He takes what he does seriously and actually cares about his clients. In my opinion, he is one of the best defense attorney's in Polk County. If you need an attorney who will fight for you and/or your family then Kelley Collier is the one to go to.
