I was doing research hoping to find a lawyer to hire. I was trying to find a local lawyer and Kelvin Pulley's name appeared in my searches. Doing my due diligence, I investigated his cases to determine if he was a suitable fit for my situation and I was so glad I did! I noticed his wording on filed documents was less than professional but more importantly I discovered that he had been sanctioned for not doing his job. He was representing a client and ignored orders to submit additional papers TWICE. The judge in the case sanctioned him and ordered him to complete two CLE courses. This information is found in the Court Docket of Judge Aycock on November 8, 2023 : "Recognizing Plaintiff's counsel's complete failure to comply with a basic directive from this Court (on two occasions), the Court finds a sanction to be warranted. Therefore, Plaintiff's counsel is hereby ORDERED to complete two continuing legal education (“CLE”) courses regarding his duty to the courts. The courses may be found at msbar.fastcle.com under Young Lawyers Division → Duty to the Courts. Plaintiff's counsel is instructed to complete the courses titled “Tips for Avoiding Running Afoul of the Court” and “A View from the Inside: What the Courts Expect of Attorneys.” Counsel shall complete the courses within fourteen (14) days of today's date. Counsel is further instructed to send certificates of completion of those two courses to

On March 2, 2020, I entered into an oral contract with Mr. Pulley. He charged $650 dollars to represent me on 2 distributing the peace charges. He stated that I could pay him $400 and the remaining $250 balance would not be required if I lost my cases. I handed him a $400 dollar check and two large brown vanilla folders. One folder contained affidavits, summons, and confidential personal information. The other folder contained a handwritten timeline that included attached emails and attached handwritten corresponding notes. Attorney Pulley stated, "Um not like a lot of lawyers who take your money and you never hear from them. Hear, um gonna give you my cellphone number." He then called my phone. As I was leaving, Pulley stated that he was taking his daughter on vacation and that he would be out of the office the rest of the week. On March 9, 2020, I text Attorney Pulley stating that I had the video converted to a DVD. No reply. On March 12, 2020, I text Attorney Pulley asking him, "Are we still on?" No reply. My court date was March 19, 2020. On March 14, 2020, I called Attorney Pulley's phone number 2 times. His answering service recorded the calls. He did not reply. On March 16, 2020, I text Attorney Pulley informing him that I would be terminating his legal services. He replied and sat the time of 1 p.m. on March 17, 2020 for me to meet him at his office. On March 17, 2020, at 12:50 p.m., I tried to open Attorney Pulley's door. It was locked. I reentered my vehicle and called Attorney Pulley. No answer. That is when I noticed his 10:56 a.m. text stating, he had to rush his daughter to the hospital and desiring to rescheduled our meeting to Wednesday and "I have all of your information as well at my home to review for our meeting tomorrow morning." I text him saying, "Just got your text message. I am at your office." We exchanged several messages. I terminated his services and asked him to refund my $400 and my documents. He said he would; he did not. I sent him a certified mail threatening to file civil charges against him for my money and the return of my documents. He said I would have it on March 24, 2020. Did not happen. On March 31, 2020, he overnighted my money but not my documents. On April 7, 2020 @ 7:47 p.m. he text "You should have documents tomorrow." He lied. On April 10, 2020 @ 8:43 a.m., he text "There was a mistake in that I put the wrong zip code. I have the papers back. I can leave your papers in my mailbox at my office for you, or I can resend them today." Because I was at work; I replied, "At work. Resend." He lied. On April 22,2020 @ 12:57 p.m., he texted "Your documents were overnighted by mail today. Check your PO Box tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Due to the Coronavirus, I have not been to my office as I didn't want to endanger my elderly grandmother who I help to take care for. He lied. Prior to this last lie, I contacted Mississippi Bar Association. Attorney Pulley informed them that he had mailed my documents. On April 24, 2020, @ 6:40 p.m., I emailed Attorney Pulley. I asked him to provide me with the tracking number. He did not reply. All of the messages that we exchanged are on my phone and my computer. If Attorney Pulley mailed my documents as he informed Mississippi Bar Association; where is his proof. In his April 22, 2020 text, he stated he was overnighting the documents. If he did that, he would have been provided a receipt. This is an honest summary of my dealing with Attorney Pulley. You decide which of the two of us is lying.
