I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kelly, throughout the process he stayed in touch and worked strategically in getting my DUI dismissed. I would highly recommend this firm and choosing Mr. Kelly for your needs. The entire team worked diligently towards my case and continue to provide advice. I cannot stress enough about how professional this team has been while also providing me moral support. There is no wonder why this firm is the best rated in Cookeville. My only advice is to let the team do their work and trust them throughout the process and give them their space to put in their inspiring work ethics.

Jackson took our case even though it was one of those very rare, practically unheard of cases. Lucky for us, he had a little experience in the matter.. We were hopeful but knew the chances of things going our way were slim. But, Jackson did his thing and the judge ruled 100% on our side. A burden that hung over us for years was finally a thing of the past and we can move on. Jackson we are so thankful you came to Cookeville when you did! We’re positive no one else could have pulled this off!
