Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions about Kelly D. Jordan
How much does it cost to hire Kelly for a adr case?

How long do adr cases in this state typically take?

Can Kelly take my case if I'm outside the area?
Kelly evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Kelly's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.
What should I bring to my first meeting with Kelly?
Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Kelly will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
Is Kelly accepting new adr clients right now?
Kelly's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
