Kelly has represented my company several times in areas of owner buyout, company transition and ex-employee legal actions. Interface has been over the past 10+ years and has always been exceptional in all aspects of the engagement.

Our firm has been involved in major and minor business legal issues requiring specialized attention. As a client, its hard to know what to anticipate; you know you need specialized legal skill yet bottom line practicality and cost dictates choices. Kelley Melzer’s performance warrants a “10” in all areas. His legal advice is sound and most importantly practical, avoiding long expensive processes with little practical hope of success. I’m happy to report we have just received an Appeals Court Per Curium Affirmed decision on a major civil suit Kelley Meltzer began for our company! We have been awarded what was owed to us with substantial interest, atty fees and court costs. A wonderful victory for us that Kelley initiated. In addition, our firm is also delighted to have engaged Kelley’s services for less major legal issues as well. He is prompt, cost effective, knowledgeable, and always reachable. He will continue to be our counsel for all legal issues. I couldn't be more satisfied as a client . . . and it's a pleasure to write this recommendation. Sincerely yours, Nicholas

I am writing to express my utmost confidence, respect and appreciation for the legal services that were provided to me be Kelly Meltzer. From our first meeting to the successful closing of my legal proceedings, Kelly proved himself to be a consummate professional in every regard. My legal case revolved around the dissolution of a long-term business relationship with a family member. While my original goal was to sever the relationship as soon as practical, Kelly encouraged me to put the legal documentation in place that would ensure a fair and binding settlement for my investment of time and energy into the business endeavor. Without Kelly's wise advice and counsel, I would have walked away from that investment with considerably less than I did. After my experience with Kelly and his fine team, I take back every lawyer joke I ever told! I cannot recommend his services more highly.
