Kelly & Jacobson

Dec 6th, 2019

I see a list of one-star reviews. It appears that they are virtually all from individuals who do not know Mr. Kelly and never had Mr. Kelly as an attorney. Unfortunately, it looks like these "reviewers" are of the opinion that if it appears a person is guilty, they are not entitled to any constitutional protections --- including legal representation --- and that, if indeed such an individual hires an attorney why, then, that attorney must be "no good". Wow. This is alarming --- and certainly not what the United States of America is about. I have been a criminal defense attorney in this town for 38 years. I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Kelly in action as we represented co-defendants in a protracted jury trial in federal court. Mr. Kelly has an impeccable reputation in the legal community. Mr. Kelly will protect Derek Chauvin's right to a fair prosecution and trial just as he would protect any one of yours or anyone else's. Each one of you should take comfort in that fact. We are all hurting as a community, yes. But any of you that gave this man a one-star rating that has never had him as your lawyer is devoid of experience, education, and/or conscience ... You should be ashamed of yourselves for "rating" a man that you do not know. And I'm pretty sure that George Floyd would agree on that.
