In early 2020 I contacted Mr. Kelly to handle 2 cases - one nursing home and one hospital. He was honest in his assessments of my case, kept me up to date throughout the entire process, explained both the pros and cons of offers, and as my cases are now completed, I would absolutely hire him again should the need arise. I never felt pressured to take an offer, he was thorough in his explanation of the use of my money, and quite thrifty with expert service opportunities that presented themselves.

My experience with Mr. Kelly was absolutely amazing! He was so kind, informative, civilized, and polite! He was courteous, and attentive! He listens without cutting you off! He was very easy to talk with! He was very generous with his time, and his advise! He knew early on that he wouldn’t be able to take my case, but only because my situation was not within his purview, but he is just so wonderful that he’d spent at least a half hour of his very valuable time with me, a total stranger on the phone, giving me all of his best advise! At first, I thought I’d just called the wrong lawyer. Nope! He’s ABSOLUTELY the right lawyer for me! I need him on my team! I need him in my life! Hahahaha! Now, I’m just waiting to hear about ANYONE who has a nursing home abuse or neglect case! Mr. Kelly has an exceptional track record! I’ve looked him up! I’m honored to have met him! Wow!

Ms. Turner exhibits all of the qualities an excellent attorney should have. She is capable, honest, intellegent, informed and professional. I would strongly recommend her services and would seek, and have sought in several instances, her legal expertise and representation. Ms. Turner excelled in my Civil case, researched the issue at hand throughly and thoughtfully and provided solid, clear, and sound legal advise which ended in my favor. Ms. Turner's breadth of the subject was obvious in my conversations with her which I found to be informative, clear and for me calming. I ask a lot of questions and she was always willing to take the time to answer them so that I understood the issue and possible end result. Ms. Turner is masterful at her craft, has honed her legal skill for many years and can, and will exceed your expectations.

This is the place you wanna start for all your immigration issues. Don’t waste so much money and time bouncing from one law office to the next.
I made the mistake of going to his competitor before and I deeply regret. Trust me when I say every dime you spend here is worth it. I had anxiety and stress until I brought them my complicated case. Everyone here is professional and very helpful. They are very knowledgeable about their areas of practice. Mr. Fatemi is the man for all your immigration and criminal issues. He is very calming and reassuring. He even joked with us while we were very nervous during our interview. His cool and composed demeanor helped me to start being positive about winning my agonizing case. When he tells you to let him handle your case, please do. He knows the best way to handle it. He went over and beyond for me and my spouse and today I am happy to pick up my green card from his office in less than 16 months. Chloe and Maria are simply the best. Thanks so much Fatemi Law, am forever grateful for this victory.

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.
