About

PREPARE. DEFEND. ACHIEVE. Passion For The Law And A Willingness To Go Above & Beyond.My philosophy is that more hands helping others is better than more feet stepping on heads. I want to help people overcome their contacts with the courts and get their lives back on track. The hope is that those I help will pay it forward and use the experience as a turning point for good across their lives. Where do you need me? I travel, and have an exceptional record on the road. I go where I’m needed.  I always put my client’s interests above my own and will be there for you every step of the way.My passion and interest in the law has always been geared towards Criminal Defense. While attending Michigan State University for my Bachelor's degree, I majored in Criminal Justice with a focus on Policing and Corrections. Rather than following the path of my classmates - I did not join the ranks of law enforcement - but instead continued my pursuit of understanding 'justice' by attending law school at the University of Detroit Mercy. It was there that I began cutting my teeth in the criminal courts as a student attorney and it affirmed my decision to dedicate my future to helping those who find themselves in the unfamiliar and life-altering trenches of the Criminal Justice System.As a Defense Attorney, I saw a lot of things in and outside of court that made me very concerned. Most significant was the realization that the Criminal Justice System is not always "just." The lives that were crushed, the families that were destroyed, the bright futures that were stomped out by the system; it all inspired me to do MORE. Fight harder, don't be like everyone else; make a difference!That is how I have been leaving my mark on the Criminal Justice System since my early days as an student attorney, to now, as a fierce powerhouse that goes above and beyond in the pursuit of true justice. The complacency and lack of fight I have seen from "more seasoned" defense attorneys continues to fuel my fire. I hold myself personally accountable for my client's lives, and with that always in mind, I do whatever it takes to get the right result. Even the dead-drunk-guilty deserve to have their lives matter. Keeping the individual at the forefront of the court's consideration is in an extremely important responsibility. Sure, the easy thing to do is treat them like everyone else; but the hard thing - the right thing - to do, is identify the uniqueness of each individual offender and make this their last unnecessary encounter with the criminal courts. Kelly & Kelly, P.C., is based in Northville, Michigan, but our motto as has always been to "go where you're needed." While I regularly practice in Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw County, I am often called upon to represent clients in many of the surrounding counties as an "outsider", not afraid to stir the pot to represent my client vigorously. Last year alone I represented clients in more than 30 different courts across the State of Michigan. I tell all of my clients that in order to have success in court, you need 1 of 3 things: the facts, the law, and if you don't have either of those, then you need PEOPLE - specifically, an advocate; someone who truly understands your circumstances and effectively advocates for you and your family. I am that person for you. Read my Client Reviews and visit my website (https://kellykellylaw.com/) to learn more about my standard for success.

Mike is a true professional. He handled my case and walked me through the entire process from start to finish with success. I can’t say enough good things. I would definitely hire Mike again. I will add his rates were more than reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

From the very start Mike was professional, and ready to hit the ground running! It was so beneficial to start being proactive per his reccomendation. My charge got knocked down even which I was so surprised! But Mike is just that good. If you need an attorney, call Mike! It was the best decision I ever made. He has helped me so much through every step of the way. He explains things in a way you can understand, and calms all fears you may have regarding court. I strongly recommend him and will reccomend him to anyone who needs an attorney!

I hired Mike to help me out with a misdemeanor charge for driving with a suspended license. Mike worked the case amazingly. He knew all the details surrounding my matter. On the date of our pre trial the prosecutor offered a plea down to a lower misdemeanor without even reviewing our case. Mike advocated for me, since he knew all the details of the case, and was able to not only negotiate to have the misdemeanor withdrawn, but was able to get the entire case dismissed with no additional costs or fees. 10/10 I would hire again if I ever needed a criminal attorney and/or recommend Mike for any criminal matters!

I was referred by someone to contact Mike in regards to applying for my full license reinstatement as a result of my 2nd DUI conviction. I can honestly say contacting Mike was the best decision I could have made because I truly don’t believe any other attorney could have prepared me better than he did. Not only did he provide me with every tool possible in preparing for my hearing, but his professional demeanor during my hearing helped ease my nerves knowing I had him on my side guiding me through it all. If anyone is going through a license reinstatement hearing look no further because Mike is the best there is!

Mike Kelly, in the criminal District Count, negotiated a release from jail for my grandson to get him to an outside source for mental health assistance. Mike’s passion for the job astounded me when he told the judge “If I need to drive him myself to the shelter, I will do it.”

I was speeding in a very dangerous manner and had a BAC of 0.12. I thought it was all over. When I first got in contact with Mike, I knew he had my back. He developed a successful plan that not only reduced charges, but turned my life around. The effort that Mike put into my case caught the court system in my area by surprise. They had never seen a lawyer and a client take such progressive action. Mike still contacts me every once in a while to see how I'm doing. Mike treated me, and still treats me as a friend, rather than a regular client. Don't even hesitate. Call Mike.

Earlier in the summer Mike took on a case for my 19 year old younger brother who was "in the park after dark" and walked away with a ticket that included 3 misdemeanors. I called Mike and set the two up and shortly there after he had a comprehensive and proactive strategy put together. He told my brother if you just follow the steps, do what I tell you, good things can happen. Thankfully my brother did just that and a couple of weeks ago at sentencing ended up with an ideal result. Two of the three charges were completely dismissed and the third resulted in a 90 day non reporting probation for a 2nd MIP, to be dismissed as well upon completion of probation. Mike was accessible and transparent throughout the process and I'm confident it was his proactive approach that allowed my brother to get the deal he did. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great hands on attorney to guide you through the legal process.
