I am beyond grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Paul Kelley, who not only fought tirelessly for my rights but also showed a deep understanding and respect for the sacrifices made by EMS workers like myself. His expertise, compassion, and dedication to his clients is truly exceptional.Here are just a few reasons why I highly recommend Kelley Law Group : *Unwavering advocacy: Mr. Kelley was a fierce advocate for my rights, working tirelessly to ensure I received the compensation and benefits I deserved. *In-depth knowledge of EMS workers' comp: Mr. Kelley has a deep understanding of the unique challenges and complexities faced by EMS workers, and leveraged this expertise to secure the best possible outcome for me, which netted me a six figure settlement. *Personalized attention and support: Mr. Kelley took the time to understand my specific needs and concerns, and provided emotional support and guidance throughout the process. What sets Kelley Law Group apart is their genuine passion for helping EMS workers and their families. They truly care about the people they serve and will stop at nothing to ensure justice is served. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with them. If you're an EMS worker seeking a skilled, compassionate, and results-driven attorney, look no further than Paul Kelley. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation and advocacy.

Let me begin this review by explaining that I had an EXTREMELY rough case to overcome due to an unrelated attorney I had hired prior to Mr. Kelley. My case was also very unique in its level of difficulty in general, so that also added to the likelihood that I would not see a successful outcome. At the recommendation of the PBA, I retained Kelley Law Group and was consulted by Mr. Kelley on a different direction he thought we should take in relation to my case. He was upfront and honest with me in his belief that my case may not be winnable due to several errors made by others and myself prior. He was NOT there just to take my money...he appeared 100% compassionate (Workers Comp really put me through the ringer!) and wanted nothing more than to get me the desired outcome I wanted and rightfully deserved. The following was a very unlikely thing for me to personally do but I was at the end of my rope -- I decided to put every ounce of faith into Mr. Kelley and adhere by everything he insisted we do to give my case at least a fighting chance. His professional/legal advice was a Godsend to me. Because of this man's hard work, knowledge of the law and attention to detail, along with the dedication and hard work from all of the employees at Kelley Law Group, I WON MY CASE!! The decision I won has literally changed my life for the best, hands down! If you have been bent over the proverbial barrel by Workmans Comp and even your agency, do yourself a favor and at least call Kelley Law Group for a consultation. The decision to retain Kelley Law Group may have been the best decision I ever made in my career of over 23 years. Thank you to Mr. Kelley and his ENTIRE staff -- you will always be heroes to me! ~Bobby M.

First and foremost obtaining a FRS duty disability it can be a long process and by no means easy. DO NOT ATTEMPT this alone. Laws change all the time Federal, State and Work mans comp. Paul Kelley stays on top of all that! Remember he has 35 years as an Attorney and comes from a law enforcement family. He is no doubt time and money well spent. And during the pandemic Paul and his amazing staff could get calls through to other Attorney, Doctors and State offices effectively. What more could a client ask for? Thanks Paul for helping me get the benefit I am truly deserving of. Sincerely Mark

In 2006, while working as a patrol officer, I had a heart attack on the job. This led to several weeks in the hospital and months of recovery. The City I work for denied my claim under the Heart and Lung Bill. Based upon recommendation from my union, I sought out Paul Kelley to represent me. I did not know it at the time, but this would turn out to be the best decision I have ever made. The city fought ruthlessly to deny my claim; so much so that at one point, I wondered if it was worth the fight. Paul assured me that it was and he was absolutely right. The city continued to deny my claim and Paul took them to court and won. Despite this, the city still denied my claim and appealed. Paul went before the appellate court in Miami, which consisted of a 3 judge panel. All three judges unanimously upheld our win in the lower court. The city now, by court order, recognizes and is responsible for my claim. Since 2006, I have had to have many heart related procedures. I had to retire medically as a police officer. Paul represented me through all of this and negotiated a transition from officer to a civilian administrative position, where I presently continue to work. In 2020, I developed severe heart failure and had to undergo an evaluation for a heart transplant. Paul again represented me throughout this very scary time. Thanks to Paul and his team, I received the medical attention that I needed in a timely manner. Luckily, I did not have to undergo transplantation at this time and am continuing to receive medical therapy. I have had the need for an attorney more than I have ever imagined that I would. I can tell you, Paul is an absolute expert pertaining to the Heart and Lung Bill and Worker's Compensation. Above all else, he is one of the nicest and most caring people you will ever meet. He has put together a team of experts. Connie, Barbara and Kristin are the best! During this recent transplant scare, they worked late hours and did whatever it took to make sure that I got what I needed medically. You absolutely cannot go wrong with choosing Paul to represent you. 14 years after choosing Paul, I still say it was the best decision I have ever made.

I am a 22 year police veteran. I was referred to Mr. Kelley by another police officer. Recently I suffered a cardiac episode while heading to work. I contacted The Kelley law group for assistance because I had a very difficult experience with workers comp many years ago where I made the mistake of trying to deal with them myself. I spoke with Kristian then Connie and then Mr. Kelley. Everything is still new because my case just started. The process has been very smooth and if you call they are never too busy to speak with you. I am glad I retained the Kelly Law Group. I am confident they will be able to assist me through this most difficult time.

The excellent, professional service was outstanding. But..... the personal attention he and his entire group (Connie, Barbara, Kristin), displays (in EVERY) phone call, places a shield of love, respect, and consideration that surpass expectation or any requirement that you thought a Law Groups basis standard should deem a minimum. I was treated like family. No matter how small my question was they greeted me openly, with an explanation/answer making sure I truly understood. Paul is top notch, as well as his team. My case was done in a timely manner and that was very essential for my unique case. The Paul Kelley Law Group is my recommendation to anyone seeking, knowledgeable expertise, undisputed professionalism, well versed in his craft......you've arrived...one stop shop indeed! Forever Your Client, Cynthia

Paul A. Kelley is the founder of the Kelley Law Group, P.A. and handles my Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program (PSOB) case from my late husband's Line-of-Duty death, as a firefighter. He and his team are all very helpful, straightforward, knowledgeable, compassionate and courteous. As well as decisive while tending to my case, and my legal needs with a great degree of integrity. I recommend Kelly Law Group to those that require legal council. Especially, first responder and workers' compensation claims. This team organized doctors and necessary advocates to prove our case, picking up the ball and moving forward where others had dropped it. Their assistance in my case has been greatly appreciated.

I can't say enough about this law firm. Together with Barbara and Kristin, an absolute pleasure to deal with.

I was a Miami-Dade County Police Lieutenant..I suffered an injury while being surgically operated at local hospital due to negligence. Additionally, I was in the Investment Plan for my retirement and didn't have enough money to retire. My medical condition was severe enough to keep me from performing my lawful police duties. Since my injury was not in the line of duty, I was not covered under the County's insurance. I was referred to Paul Kelly y a friend. I called Paul Kelley and asked him to review my case and if it was possible to get back into the FRS. Well, a few weeks later, Paul Kelley came through and I was accepted back into the FRS. Subsequently, I was able to retire with a secured monthly retirement check for the rest of my life. Paul Kelley is the real deal. He is not a charlatan but a man of action...do not hesitate to hire him to get a positive outcome on your case. I am blessed to have this attorney represent me in my case with the FRS and also with Worker's Compensation for an unrelated matter. If you need the best attorney in Florida, just hire Paul Kelley.

I retained Mr. Kelley as my attorney because he is well known as a legal expert in the field of workers compensation law, specifically the Florida Heart / Lung Bill. Additionally, he knows the intricacies of specific heart and lung conditions (medically) and how they relate to a claimants compensability. He is totally on the same page when consulting with doctors and medical staff. With his intimate knowledge of both WC law and relevant medical conditions, he was able to secure the needed (doctor recommended treatment) in my case, that was denied on several occasions by the employer/carrier. He made sure that ALL entitled benefits were provided, often in the face of bold opposition. His expertise made it happen for me every time. When you are in the right, they can't stop you. You just have to fight a little harder. And, that is what Paul Kelley is all about. Because many of his family members were in our profession, he is dedicated to helping first responders. During mediation, I witnessed a master at negotiations. He's 'got your back' as they say. His office staff is wonderful to work with and his Paralegal Barbara, is nothing short of Amazing! She is as passionate and driven as Mr. Kelley in managing the clients cases, corresponding with the court and all associated matters. He's got a kind reassuring manner, is a consummate professional and a true gentleman. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Kelley for bringing my case to a conclusion and proud to have had his representation. I highly recommend the Law firm of "Kelley Law Group" for your workers compensation matters.

I hired Paul Kelley in September 2017 for a worker's compensation case under the heart and lung bill. The Kelley Law Group was just what the doctor ordered. I was skeptical about hiring an attorney, however, Paul never let me down. I never had to wonder what was going on with my case. Paul or his assistant Connie called or emailed me with ever update. They truly kept me in the loop. When I was scheduled for my deposition, Paul would call and talk to me and made sure I was okay. Paul would say, "if you tell the truth, you don't have to worry." If I had any questions or concerns, I would just call the office and Connie would answer any questions I had. This was a tedious process and I'm so happy that I chose Paul and his team to take this journey with. Through Paul and Connie's hard work, I am now covered under the heart and lung bill as of June 2018. Kelley Law Group really fought a hard fight for me and for that, I am truly thankful. Thank you Paul and Connie!

Greetings, I filled a workers comp claim (heart & lung bill) after being put off of work due medical reasons my claim was denied and the reason given is that my injury was not work related. I have at least 30 years in law enforcement and during my pre-employment medical screening I did not have any medical issues. I was referred to the Kelley Law Group by my union to consult with for advice and possible ssistance. The experience was amazing, professional, and diligent. I experience a commitment of dedication to have overturned the denial of my claim and in addition secure monetary benefits going forward. The amount of follow up was impressive and the patience taken to explain the their process to ensure my clarity was second to none. The Kelley Law Group is staffed with a excellent group of competent professionals. I want to thank Paul again for assisting me through my personal challenge of having a wrong decision overturned. One last thing this was not a long and drawn out process after the initial intake was completed.
