Never return calls or emails. Have to email 6 people then you might get a response. DO NOT USE THE CREDIT REPAIR services tjey take your money but do NOTHING to repair your credit
Not sure how they can call themselves attorneys. Poor poor service.

If i could give zero stars I would, they are disbanded and now go by LAWYER ASAP, carrying over their bad practices and ill service, currently in battle for my filing fees refund, they take your money and so nothing. Worst experience ever with a law firm.

I put a one because zero is not available. Don't waste your time are money. Worst ever. You can do better yourself. They lost over 6 months of time with my son, due to them lying and not doing their job. I had 10 are 12 diffrent attorney's for the one and half yr I was a client, before i fired them. Paid 5000 and seen no results. The few time we went to court, that was the time i got a new attorney and they had no clue about the case, nor brought paperwork to prove what was done. Which i left a message to tell them to bring. They change them to milk you out of money. Should be shut down and disbarred. Go anywhere else!

KEL, LawyersASAP,Englett and associates are scam artist and will take your money and not perform any work on your case like they did with my custody case. Read the reviews on BBB if you don’t want to waste time and money perhaps even more. Trust me do not hire KEL/ Laweyrs ASAP/ Englett and Associates

Complete waste of time and money! It is borderline criminal what this company does. I would highly discourage anyone from forking over their hard-earned cash to them! I, as many others have already stated, was fooled into believing that this company might actually be able to make a difference in the outcome of our housing issue. I attended the court dates personally to watch unqualified local counsel do nothing to represent us, while the financial institutions Attorney’s out right lied. I also used KEL to help me to remove things from my credit report that should not have been there and once again was highly disappointed due to their level of inaction. Stay away!

HORRIBLE service or I should say NO service. Called multiple times and was put on hold so long it finally disconnected. Left several voicemails which were never returned. I needed to speak to someone about my father who paid them several thousands dollars for service which they didn't provide for him . They wouldn't return his calls either but they took his money. The end result was my father who is 76 years old lost his home.

DONT WORST YOUR TIME OR MONEY. PAID OVER $5000. Could never get straight answer on my case the few times I actually got to talk to a human. Had a way to fix my problem only needed one thing piece of information and they couldn't give it to me and ended up costing me my home. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DONT USE THIS PLACE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waste of time. Then they refund me less than half my pay in when they did nothing but stop collection calls. So that cost me 1400 dollars. Could not get in touch with anybody when needed. DO NOT USE KEL ATTORNEYS IF YOU LIKE YOUR MONEY AND TIME.

I used them for my bankruptcy case, and they did a great job. They always kept me informed and out of 3 attorneys that I called they were the only one who called me back. They were very professional and I would definitely use them again for any other legal issues.

DO NOT USE THIS LAWFIRM!!!! They owe me $300 that I put down for a case which I backed out of due to the other party agreeing to honor my claim.

This happened over 4 months ago and I continue to ask LAWYERS ASAP for my refund.

These bastards probably used that cash at the local strip bar, they'll do the same with your money!!

This is the worst law firm ever. It has taken months upon months to get a case number and, still, there was no case number produced by the time I fired them and went with a reputable lawyer. The "bankruptcy document collector" was a joke; rude and condescending, she actually told me I needed my girlfriend's (they presumed) W2s, bank statements, and pay stubs. Note: this is just an attempt to string you along as long as possible, so that they can either try to collect more money or simply not do their jobs. This lawyer mill continues to rob people because the Florida Bar will not allow complaints against law firms, only individual attorneys. DO NOT GO WITH KEL! DO NOT GO WITH KEL! DO NOT GO WITH KEL! I cannot say it enough! You will lose your precious, valuable, hard-earned money and will have to start all over from scratch. Beware!

This firm is terrible! I had 3 different attorneys within a 6 month period. They had no problem with asking me for more money but when I had questions about my case, no one had a clue. Needless to say I had an unprepared attorney at my hearing. You know the rest!!!

Awful, awful, awful. The worst . I read these reviews when I first signed up becauses it was pro and con. It is one year since I have been with them, I was on my fourth attorney who was outstanding, and I mean outstanding but she/he went off on her/his own as a lot of them do. My case was won but needs some final finishing so now I will need a fifth attorney. It is terrible the way the senior partners run the firm. It is of course based on greed. I have a call out to a senior and will see if he returns my call. The attorneys are good to great but you will not keep one for your case, so it becomes, very long, very drawn out, very miscommunicated, and extremely frustrating. When you are already very stressed out in a foreclosure situation, you don't need this added stress. My advice: APPROACH WITH GREAT CAUTION
Update: I have filed a complaint with the Florida Bar on April 18th, 2016 and I ask you to go to the website of the Florida Bar and read the complaints of Englett, Matthew Shane, Case # SC13-2118, Lynd, Craig Robert, Case # SC-13-2180 and Kaufman Jr., Jeffrey S., Case # SC13-2136.

I paid over 7000.00 to these attorneys for forclosure on my home and they not only won't call me back they won't give me an update and now I learned I lost my home of 14 years. These attorneys are just wrong for not updating you on things I can't even find where any legal documents were filed.

Horrible experience, i literally wasted not only money but also time. Run from these people, nothing but trouble. Everything they feed you in your initial consult is BS..

I hired KEL for a child custody case and after 6 months of my time I've had to hire another firm since nothing ever was done with my case. Don't waste $4K like I did for nothing other than a hearing and a impass mediation.

I also went through the two different attorneys and was also passed through 6 different paralegals. I honestly feel bad for the employees..

We are extremely happy with the quality of work and experience of our paralegal Spencer Sorkin. He guided us through the process so easily, and was very helpful. After having a bad experience it was nice to have a wonderful one. Thanks Spencer and KEL.

Please please please do not waste your money on these crooks. I didn't listen to the other reviews and paid the hefty price. It started with never receiving any welcome or introduction to my attorney. I was bounced around to a few paralegals and didn't have a clue who my attorney was for months. All I wanted was a demand letter. A middle schooler could have written a better letter. They couldn't even get my name correct. I made corrections, sent it back to them the same day, and didn't hear anything for a month. I finally emailed as many people as I could until finally getting a response. They asked me to re-do all of my corrections and send it back. Still didn't hear anything for another month. Finally, they asked me to research addresses (what am I paying you for?), which I did, and then they sent the letter. Never answered any of my questions. After the time was up for the demand, I asked for an update. No response. Weeks go by and I get a letter dated THE DAY AFTER THEY SENT THE DEMAND LETTER stating my attorney has changed. Who's to say the jerks I was sending the demand letter to called the attorney on the demand letter, but they couldn't get a response because 1) they can't even respond to their client & 2) that wasn't even the correct attorney! It doesn't take a month to mail a letter in the same city.
I asked for a refund and was told as others were that it would take couple of months. Stupid me also let them have my original documents instead of copies. Now, I can't get ahold of anyone for my documents and can't get a response about the refund. Needless to say, I will be reporting them to the BAR association and physically going to their office for my documents (which they probably lost).
DO NOT USE THESE ATTORNEYS!

Update: as expected, they lost all of my original documents. Lovely.

I have had the chance to work with Amanda Crane with the beginning process of my bankruptcy filing. She has been a wonderful person to work with. Very helpful in helping me understand everything that I am doing as well as what to expect next. She was very prompt with responding to my questions whether they were through email or by phone. She helped me to be at ease without worrying about errors.

Do NOT hire these attorneys for any reason! They will take your money for nothing. I read the reviews on this firm before I hired them. ALL of the remarks were negative and they have been reported to the BBB. I should have taken heed to the warnings. $4000, I paid up front for a divorce. After 60 days of retaining their services, the only progress made was to send me a financial questionaire. Countless attempts were made on my part to communicate, only to be directed to a voice mailbox over and over again. After cancelling their services (no service were performed), I was informed that it would take six to eight weeks to "process" my request for a refund. Here it is, ten weeks later and I've yet to see one dime of my money back. They refuse to return my phone calls or emails and have otherwise ceased all communication with me. I am an out of state resident of Tennessee and it is obvious to me that I am going to have to drive all the way down to Florida to have this matter resolved. KEL Attorneys has absolutely NO ethics or morals and they do NOT care, in any way, about their customers. You have been warned, don't get robbed like I did.

1st let me say, my opinion of this company based on experience, they are extremely bad, and if you see a review with 5 stars and no description of what kind of case this is, in my opinion its probably a paid troll keeping up the good rate for this pitiful excuse for a law firm. My experience is a divorce case, they give you no communication, and shoddy lazy workmanship would be saying too much about how poorly they work. This should NOT even be a 1 star business, let alone 5, they take your money offering all kinds of promise about representation. It is crap, they don't even offer an itemized billing until you force them to do so, if you paid a retainer then expect it to double by the time they get through dragging their feet to do a poor job (mine is still not complete after 2 months signing the divorce papers waiting for my ex to set the final hearing date, which cannot be accomplished until KEL gets their S--T together). Plus it was the ex's lawyers who filed every paper, motion, writ, wrote every document, and unfortunately kept me informed of all court dates, before KEL even knew what was going on (yeah, I told them of 2 court dates). You cannot complain to the BBB since they long stopped being a member with that organization, but you can file with the Florida bar, which I was forced to do after many emails, phone messages, hearing threats from my ex's attorney, etc. not being addressed by my representatives. DO NOT USE KEL for anything unless you want to lose in court and lose your bank account. In other words, like in my experience, hire them, the ex WILL get their way.

They took the money and achieved nothing. Worked with more than a few attorneys for investments and never have I seen a pump and dump operation like this. Advertising does work because there still in business.

It was a waste of money. They took me for over $1000.00 and did absolutely nothing. I would have gotten more satisfaction if I burned the money myself. I had to go find a real attorney. Don't make the same mistake I did

I had a great, very professional experience with Christopher Bailey/Paralegal.

He was a good communicator and made sure everything got handled on-time.

I would highly recommend KEL to anyone that needs professional help with legal matters.

Thank you

Stephanie Greene with KEL worked on my behalf. The outcome could not have been better! I was impressed with her negotiation skills and customer service.

I will use KEL for all future services.

Had our case for a year and were unable to fulfill the short sale. Very expensive lesson learned for us. Now that we are dealing directly with bank we are discovering even more disturbing information that was not communicated.
We gave one star because they were good at one thing. Taking our money.
