Law Firm Overview

My name is David Kelly. My law office is in Minnetonka near St. Louis Park, Plymouth and Golden Valley, Minnesota. I have been helping clients in the Twin Cities - Minneapolis Minnesota area for over thirty years with their financial hardships, bankruptcy, DUI and DWI concerns - and truth be known, with quite a bit more than that. If you are looking at this page, you may have experienced something difficult and unpleasant, and I know that you probably wish that you didn't need to call me. Please know that my satisfaction comes from finding a way to either make your problem go away or at least make the problem as small as possible. When you call me or meet with me, I will personally evaluate your situation and make a realistic recommendation based upon the facts, the laws that apply and the time and expense required by the possible remedies. I will let you choose which of my services will be of most benefit to you, so you can keep the cost as low as possible. A telephone consultation with me is free, so you have nothing to loose.

I am a lawyer by choice, inclination and profession. In the Navy I served as "Legal Officer" in Vietnam for a construction battalion. When I was still in law school, I had jobs working at the State Public Defender's office and at the U.S. Attorney's office. I started my career after law school with a firm that required me, among other things, to do objections to bankruptcy discharges. I soon decided that I would much rather represent debtors so I could be of service to people who needed help. I was also on the public defender's conflict of interest panel for Ramsey County Juvenile Court. This provided me with an opportunity to defend young people in connection with all sorts of criminal matters.

When I opened my own office I accepted nearly everything that came in the door for many years, and did volunteer work many evenings at a free legal clinic. For over a decade I did part-time service as a settlement arbitrator at the Hennepin County Family Court, and also as an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association. All of this gave me an unusually broad range of experience. These days I focus primarily on my favorite practice areas: DWI, bankruptcy, probate/wills and real estate.

There are certain things which nobody should try to handle on their own, and you may seriously hurt yourself if you try.
