Kelly O'Connell Law Reviews

What clients say

These are from people the firm has represented. Each one is posted only after the client agreed in writing, and nothing is edited beyond trimming for length. Names are shortened to initials. More of the firm’s public reviews are on Google and Avvo, linked below.

I called on a Sunday morning after my son was arrested the night before. Kelly called me back within the hour and explained the ten-day MVD deadline before I even knew it existed. From then on he told us what was coming and why. He was in the courtroom with us himself, not an associate, and I never had to chase him for an answer.

D. M., Las Cruces

I had never been in trouble before and I was embarrassed to even make the call. Kelly did not lecture me. He laid out what the charge meant, what the court could do, and what my options were, in plain words I could repeat to my wife. He was straight with me about the hard parts, which is what I needed.

R. G., Deming

As a CDL driver, a ticket is not just a ticket. Kelly understood that from the first phone call and treated my license like the job it is. He answered every question I had, even the ones I asked twice, and he showed up to the hearing prepared. If I ever need a lawyer again, he is the one I will call.

J. T., Alamogordo

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Read reviews on Google and Avvo

Leave a review

If Kelly O’Connell represented you and you want to say something about it, the simplest route is a review on Google or Avvo. You do not need to describe your charge or your case. A sentence about how you were treated and whether your calls were returned is enough. It helps the next person reading this page at an odd hour, trying to decide who to call.

Two things to keep in mind. First, a review is public, so leave out anything you would not want a future employer or a judge to read. Second, the duty of confidentiality still applies to the firm: nothing about your case will be posted or discussed in reply to a review, even if you mention it first. A review, and any reply to one, is not legal advice.

If you have not hired the firm yet and are reading this to decide, the practice pages explain how a DWI case or a criminal charge is handled here. When you are ready, request a free case evaluation.
