KEL AttorneysReviews 124

Hired them around 2010. Absolutely regret it. Waste of money. Did nothing. To me keep my home. After my services ended, I found out I was only in preforeclosure. Couldn't afford to keep paying them. Never returned phone calls. My case kept getting passed to different ppl. I never knew who to ask for. In the end I lost my money and my home. Had a very important decision to make so I called them. They called days later after I made the wrong decision and thought I had sold my home. The person tricked me into signing a quick claim deed... lost my home and got a foreclosure on my record. They don't care nor do they understand. Clients needs.

They will take your money and run... Disgusting

Had a simple fence neighbor problem.
Kept asking for more money.

I paid them over $******* in 2010 (my house payment for 12 months they told me to pay them and not the mortgage company) to help me defend a foreclosure and to get a loan modification. After several months of no communication, they told me I had a mediation scheduled. I met with an attorney 10 minutes before the mediation. The mediator asked one question of which I couldn't answer and he cancelled the mediation instantly. The next time I heard from them was a notice I had to renew my contract for another year for them to continue representing me. I didn't renew. I got the modification on my own, it was easy. I just discovered Matt Englett was a crook. Had I known he had ripped off so many people I would have spoke out sooner.

I lost my house and they never filed bankruptcy for me after I payed thousands of dollars to them. All they did was threaten me if I didn't make my payments on time and even made me start over my payments once for being late. I thought they were on my side... :(

They are Robbers and Cheaters. They took your money away and do nothing for you. Everyone should report them to attorney's board. They are criminal people as they robber your money. Attorney's board should not allow them to cheat people.

These people should not be allowed to call them selves"attornies". They take your money and do absolutely NOTHING. I never should have lost my home. I paid cash for my home. $425,000.00. I ended up loosing it on a very small loan. Before they were hired i was already scheduled for a modification loan. They told me to tell them to cancel it and they would take care of it. I begged them for a year to reschedule it. They never did. Ii finally got a paper for a modification loan scheduled 3 weeks after my house was already auctioned off. KEL are nothing but thieves and liars. I begged to talk to an attorney. I finally got a call 2 weeks later by a man "Chris Abrams" who introduced himself as my attorney whom gave me a lot of advice which ended up being the wrong advice. I later found out this person was only a para legal once again. Not an attorney. Please if you are considering kel, DON'T! Do some research 1st. I ended up loosing my home and almost everything i owned. I had no where to go and ended up on the street with 5 chiuhahas. I never thought I would LOOSE my home because I should not have.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do some research into a better more helping company. I wish i had done this. KEL LAWYERS are the most rude and unhelpful, people to deal with. No the lawyer that i had to represent me in my case has been bared from practicing law for the next 90 days and per letter revived form Florida Supreme Court, that my case is now being handle by another lawyer that i have never meet are dealt with. Customer service is not a strong point of this firm or backyard company. Paralegals ore rude, When you visit the office, the staff at the customer service area are more in-tuned on there cell phones that helping customers. Phone calls and emails are never returned in a timely matter, and when you do keep ringing in to speak to you lawyer, you are told by the paralegal that you call to much and you have been blocked form calling and he will return your call when his ready. We are the one paying the money,

How can the state of florida allow this man to practice law in this state. Lost my only vehicle in bankruptcy due to them not filing proper paper work, after many, many request and 20 phone calls with no ANSWER. THEY STILL LIE TO ME TODAY, FORD SENT THEM 5 REAFFIRMATION LETTER DURING OUR BANKRUPTCY NO RESPONSE FROM KEL.
I AM 66 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TO SEE A HEART DOCTOR MONTHLY, I HAVE NO VEHICLE THANKS TO KEL. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. PLEASE

A few years back I called KEL for information about foreclosure, soon after a paralegal returned call and stated I needed to retain them immediately, although, I had not been served with papers yet and wouldn't for another nine months, however, they convinced me to pay the year retainer. Found out later from another attorney that I didn't need to retain an attorney until I was actually served and the paralegal should not have called me back and pressure me to retain them. They knew this and just wanted to get the fee. When I did get served, I couldn't speak to an attorney unless I made an appointment, which was up to two weeks away. I hired another attorney and he did the work for less than $500.00 and took care of everything. Although they are no longer KEL, beware.

Stay away, I wish I did some more research, I hired then on a whim after getting divorce papers, if I had seen some of the other reviews first I never would have hired them. No contact. Didn't even speak with my attorney until mediation which cost 1000 for her to sit and do nothing. Could not get any answers from them unless the bill was due. I dropped them eventually and they did not want to turn over my paperwork.
Bad lawyers, bad people in general
STAY AWAY

It's been a year this CROOKS LAWYERS got my paperwork for a divorce. They charged me $2,000.00 and since 09/16/15, I haven't recieved a call. I have called and left messages, no respond. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED MY CASE 6 TIMES TO DIFFERENT LAWYERS THAT ARE NO LONGER THERE. The letters I have recieved is to advised me the change of lawyers. No explanation as in why. These people should get license revoked and made them payed what they owed to honest people.

When you are going through a difficult time and bankruptcy is the option you chose, you want to make sure you have a law firm who will provide you the answers and results you are looking for. KEL is the answer. We reached out to them for the free consulation and received a step by step explanation on our options, and how the process would work. The bonus was their support team and how they responded to our questions over the past 5 yrs as we went through the process. Kristi Mountz was our contact person and was spectacular no matter how dumb our questions were or how much we vented when things weren't making sense. I would highly recommend KEL if you are struggling and need an option to provide you peace of mind with your decision. Thank you KEL for your professionalism and support.
