I met matt two years ago when I was facing most difficult time of my life. Kelly law firm has two of the most caring attorneys of our time. When I walked in there I needed direction I was so confused . Didn't matter when I called matt made time for me with a smile. I know it's not always easy to deal with some one who doesn't understand all the legal know how but it didn't matter matt and Evan explained the same thing to me ten times. I made some mistakes dealing with some not so nice people in my business they are helping me to put my life back together and I am so grateful to them. I would recommend this gentle giant (matt) to anyone that needs someone to stand by them if they have legal issues and Evan I can't say enough about!!!!! They are both awesome

Matt worked tirelessly to obtain the absolute best results possible. He knows the laws inside and out, responds promptly to all phone calls and texts, and follows through reliably. Because he approaches situations in a fair and balanced manner, he works extremely well with others. Yet when called upon to do so he can stand firm making his position clear in a respectful manner. His ability to negotiate and deal with the most arrogant and uncompromising individuals is utterly amazing. I could not have selected a better lawyer to represent me. Thank you Matt Vassill!
