My commitment is to treat every client with compassion and respect; to be a good listener, and to work as hard as I can to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients.  I learned good old fashioned values growing up in a small town in Granville County, NC, and I strive to be a person of integrity with a character for being honest and hard working. By way of background, I graduated from South Granville High School and attended NC State University followed by East Carolina, where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. I attended law school at Campbell University and was commissioned as a JAG officer with the U.S. Navy Reserve.  I attended Officer's Indoctrination School in Newport, Rhode Island, followed by Naval Justice School after receiving my Jurisdoctorate in 1991.  After graduating from Naval Justice School, I boarded the guided Missile Cruiser USS Chosin in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I was then stationed at Naval Legal Service Office Yokosuka, Japan for three years where I served as a defense attorney and provided legal assistance.  In 1994 I joined the distinguished trial lawyer Mr. Norman Kellum as a personal injury attorney with the Kellum Law Firm where I have practiced ever since.  Our personal injury practice covers the entire east coast including the triangle and its surrounding areas.  It has been and will continue to be my pleasure to serve the injured and fight for the compensation they need and deserve!  WE'RE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

John grew up in Charlotte attending High School here and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC 1982) where he majored in Political Science and Criminal Justice. He played on the Varsity Soccer team for UNCC. After College, John worked for a year as a Fire Tech for a alarm company before going to law school. He saw how hard people work for their money only to lose it all when a workplace injury happened.  It was there that he decided to go to law school so he could help injured workers who he saw being treated unfairly.  He attended and graduated from Campbell University School of Law (now in Raleigh, NC) and obtained his Juris Doctorate degree in 1986.  John has been practicing Worker's Compensation since that time and practices in the area 100% of his time.  He was recognized as a NC Worker's Compensation SuperLawyer in 2006.  SuperLawyer's are outstanding lawyers in their field chosen by independent research.  A SuperLawyer has been designated as someone with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. He is dedicated to helping those injured worker's who find they cannot get fair treatment from large insurance companies. Having been hurt himself at the alarm company he knows first hand the challenges that exist for injured workers.  Most people have no idea what their rights are in the face of an injury.  And the Company doesn't seem very interested in helping many times. After an injury on the job, it seems the Company starts treating workers differently. He is committed to making sure injured worker's rights are protected.  And he enjoys helping out the hard working people of North Carolina.. John has extensive experience advancing worker's rights before the Industrial Commission in Raleigh, both at the initial Hearing level and before the Full Commission.  He has argued cases before the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the North Carolina Supreme Court in worker's compensation. Recently, the Firm won the case of Griffin v Absolute Fire Control (2021) before the NC Supreme Court on the issue of futility of looking for work after disability and the issue of makework provided by the Employer to avoid payment of disability benefits.. John has concentrated knowledge of the special needs of handicapped individuals and what the law provides for protection of such people. He has been successful securing handicapped accessible housing and transportation for his clients when the insurance companies denied those rights to his clients.  He also has extensive experience representing those with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Disorder (RSD) and knows how to get clients specialized medical treatment for such clients. Some of those are cutting edge treatments many physicians don't provide and most insurance companies routinely deny.  John has fought big insurance companies and successfully obtained these treatments for CRPS patients for 22 years.  If you have a injury that develops into CRPS or RSD, John can assist you in obtaining medical treatment which has a fighting chance of alleviating the problems you experience and making your life more livable.  You can find out more information about this disease at .

Thomas West is proud to have been practicing law for more than 30 years with his law partner, Reggie Kelly and with his daughter, Elizabeth Murphy. Thomas’s passion and life’s work has been to have a law practice that he is proud of.. “For 30-plus years, I have strived to not just be a lawyer but to be an honest lawyer people can depend on. I work every day to make sure that my clients get the same representation that I would want if I had someone else representing me. Here at Kelly & West, it has always been our motto that we will try our best to help you. But, if we cannot help you, will try to find someone who can, and I firmly believe that we have succeeded through the years in doing just that. That’s why so many people come back to see us over and over again.”. Thomas was a 2016 recipient of the Martindale-Hubbell client distinction award. He believes that he is different from other lawyers because this has been his life passion.. “It’s not just a job, it’s about faith – faith that God will give you the ability to help, faith that God will provide you with the patience and wisdom needed, faith that God will send the next client to see you. Yes, I work hard and that’s important but working knowing my work is divinely inspired, that’s what keeps me going day in and day out.”. Also, Thomas says that one thing he is proud of is the technology the firm uses. Kelly & West proudly offers their clients the latest technology that helps manage cases and keeps each case progressing forward as quickly as possible and Thomas is the one behind it all.. “I love the fact that we have software that allows us not to miss opportunities to help each client the best we can. Over the years, I have handled thousands of cases and now with technology, I can put my experience to work for each client so that we don’t miss any coverages or additional insurance policies that may be out there. Plus, technology gives us the ability to track when we receive documents and phone calls on each case, to make sure that we are aware of everything that’s going on with a particular client at all times.”. Thomas is proud that he and his loving wife, Betsy Coats West of Dunn, have been married for over 40 years. They attend Divine Street United Methodist Church in Dunn.
