Why You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer

There are countless reasons why you will benefit from hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer. For one, the criminal justice system is a complex one that can be difficult to understand. A lawyer can more efficiently guide you through the legal process and make sure your rights as a defendant are being respected. An experienced defense attorney also knows what methods the prosecution may use against you. Erin can strategize your case against the prosecution’s likely tactics. 

Further, she can explain several options you may not be as well informed about that are alternatives to litigation. Kelley Legal also works closely with immigration lawyers in the area, so she can provide a unique perspective on how criminal charges might affect your immigration status and protect you against removal in such cases.

  • She showed great love towards my daughter and was very sweet to her. Right off the bat I felt that she was trustworthy and very intelligent.

    “My husband was referred to Mrs. Erin Kelley through another inmate that he was incarcerated with at that time , she was currently representing the guy who gave my husband her information.
    My husband had heard great things about Erin through the jail , ( that she was the women that could get the job done )
    So when I called Erin , SHE answered the phone , ( not an assistant… like other attorney offices )
    Which in my eyes was great that I called and spoke directly to her and that I didn’t even have to leave a message & wait to hear back and so on . ( because how annoying is that )
    I told her our interest in hiring her and she offered go speak to my husband at the jail just to make sure she was the attorney he did really want to go with .
    (Erin is also bilingual , and his fluent is Spanish . )
    After deciding that we did want to hire her She was very easy to meet with and tried to open her schedule as much as possible to where it could accommodate my schedule . She also allowed me to bring my daughter with me who was only a year and half at the time … she was very understanding to kids being in her office .
    She showed great love towards my daughter and was very sweet to her .
    Right off the bat I felt that she was trustworthy and very intelligent.
    I felt that I was getting my money worth.
    She read me our contract to make sure we were both on the same page and that I felt comfortable with everything .
    Erin has reasonable pricing and has great payment plans . She also has an online portal where you can make payments and you always get a receipt to your email . Which was also very much appreciated… that feature just made my life 10x easier .
    My husband was incarcerated on a Murder charge and I hired her to represent him and possibly take his case to trial .
    Our first time going to court she was able to get my husband bond split in half .
    She allowed my husband to always be in “ control “ and didn’t force him to do or sign anything he didn’t want to do , she was always understanding to his emotions and always did a great job at filing motions etc etc to help us get where we needed to be . My husband explained to me that him and Mrs. Kelley created a good bond and “ friendship “ along this journey .
    He express to me that he opened up to her about his drug addiction and his struggle in life growing up & other personal things he said she is someone you can be completely honest with and feel comfortable while doing so with out getting judged.
    This time in my life was very hard for me and she was always compassionate and very empathetic . This women really does have it in her heart that she cares for her client and what you are going through along with comforting the emotions of the family that is also dealing with the worries & heartache as well . She is cognizant to the fact that people make mistakes and shouldn’t have to be tremendously punished for it. She constantly kept us in the loop and we always had a good rapport with one another . she did a stupendous job at going through discovery packet. She assimilate to every detail in the case ..
    anytime there was a change etc she always called me and told me every detail , she Always asked how I felt and if there was any questions , She also always called me after every visit she had with my husband to update me on what’s going on , so I can be on the same page as them , Which was very substantial to me due to the fact that the calls are being recorded and possibly later on be held against you. Which just made things a little bit easier on me and my husband that we were on the same page without having to worry about anyone listening in on us . She was not one of those attorneys where “ it was what it is and too bad “
    She almost always had a solution to any curveball they tried to throw at us .
    Never were there any unexpected surprises ..”
