I had quite the pickle. I looked around the area for a good attorney. Since I just moved here it was mainly word of mouth and reviews that aimed me at Kelly & West. I'm so glad that they did!! Mr. Reginald "Reggie" Kelly saw me the very next day for a free consultation. He took his time with me to get every bit of background, who I am as a person and what had happened. We had to push my court dates to the right to create a good case. I was worried since I didn't know the outcome yet and felt like I was in limbo. The more time Mr Kelly took, the better the case became. Right before the holidays

My parents, me, and now my daughter go to Kelly & West for our real estate transactions. Mr. Kelly helped us recently in the selling of our home and the process was very efficient and quick. In the past Elizabeth helped us with our estate plans & wills. Her and the staff were very professional and friendly. That's how it is every time we visit them. We appreciate their assistance and will continue with them another 20 or more years.

Kelly & West are on top of things, professional, attentive and have very good follow up. They also stay in touch with you long after your business is done.
This is the one and only stop for me when it comes to my legal needs. They've done my closings twice and will get any transactions for however long I will be here.
I cherish family and there is a very strong family feel here.

Just went through a real estate closing with Reggie Kelly. Smooth process all the way. What I liked especially was how little involvement was required on the part of my wife and myself. I called to ask them to represent us and only needed a single phone call and a one page document to complete to provide information they needed. A closing date was set and we showed up on that day, spent about an hour and was done. Having been through several closings and familiar with the process, Reggie was good as they get. He is also very personable and thorough. You can expect exemplary service from Kelly and

I was referred to Elizabeth Murphy by a good friend. I had a lot of work that needed doing with a will, trust and a host of other papers I didn't even know that I needed. In my interview, I felt like Elizabeth had all the time in the world for me. She listened intently and and asked questions about what " I wanted". She put together all of my important papers in a well organized and easily accessible binder. She and her staff give me specific instructions on what I needed to follow up on, and she was kind enough to email me gentle reminders. I have emailed her with a variety of questions over the

We were first time home buyers, and Kelly & West Attorneys were extremely helpful throughout the home buying and closing process. We had tons of questions along the way, and they never hesitated to keep us informed and up to date throughout our journey. Communication was always clear, and even with the amount of documentation that comes with buying a home, we were taken through an easy and simplified final signing. Thank you!

The team at Kelly & West were amazing! I was purchasing a home, with NO realtors involved. Before even meeting them, Shelia and April provided me with forms to use for making an offer on the home, and more. They answered several questions for me, promptly, again, before even meeting with me. Before we got to the point to request a Title search.

Everything went smoothly, and that would NOT have been the case had it not been for them. And Mr. Kelly explained all forms, in the appropriate level of detail during the closing. And they were accommodating, while taking excellent precautions

Our case was represented and handled by the firm in a quality way with regular communication and updates as needed. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Thanks!

Firm would not perform estate work for my dying sister because they "have a policy that they do not travel", according to the woman I spoke with. Makes you wonder how they make court appearances. Apparently, unlike the other reviewer stated, they will NOT "go the distance" for you.
