Matt Kellond has handled over a thousand cases, ranging from petty offenses to murder.  He understands that being charged with a crime, no matter what it is, can be an intimidating, confusing and overwhelming process.  Whether a first time DUI or the latest in a long line of criminal cases, a trip to the courtroom can impact your life greatly.  Kellond Law is committed to client-centered representation; everything is done with the client and the client’s goals in mind.  The only concern is how the client will be affected.  We understand that not only is your freedom at stake, but your ability to work, your quality of life and future can all be affected by the outcome of your case.. You need an attorney who has experience and will represent you at all stages of your case to get you the best outcome possible.  The best outcome possible is different for each case and for each client.  If that means taking your case to trial then we will provide zealous representation and fight for you every step of the way.  However, the reality is over 95% of criminal cases never go to trial.  They resolve either with a dismissal or a plea bargain.  Many times a plea bargain can be the best possible outcome for a particular client.  You need an Attorney who can accurately assess your case and effectually negotiate on your behalf.  Ultimately the decision whether to have a trial is yours, and your decision is the only one that matters.
