Kirtland & Packard recently handled a case involving a serious car accident that injured my husband. We are very satisfied with the professionalism offered by K & P and the case outcome that they achieved for us. Michael, Charlie, Heather and Marty are the best! Thank you all!

I had the very best experience with Kirtland&Packard attorneys. They helped me with my incident case, and I highly recommend them. They were also quick at responding, and very supportive throughout the whole process! Special thanks to Michael, Heather, and Marti! 🙂

My experience was excellent with the Kirtland & Packard firm. I was well informed and taken care of from the time of initial contact up until my case was settled. I feel like I got great advice and I didn't have to worry because they always told me what to expect and I was well trained. I really recommend them!

I just finished a case (employment lawsuit) with Connor and Michael. I was referred to this law firm by another one who couldn’t take my case, but felt that Kirtland&Packard could... and I’m glad they did! My attorney, Connor, represented me thru the entire process; starting with a brief introductory phone call and ending with a warm congratulations when the case ended. The entire process took about 6 months, and ended with my satisfaction in success. Anytime I had a question, Connor was sure to answer in a timely and professional manner... no matter how dumb my questions were (this was my first lawsuit so I had a lot of questions, as I didn’t know what to expect)... he was easily accessible via phone or email. I also had to move out of state during the case, and it was still so easy to communicate back and forth and I was able to sign and send everything electronically. They really made the process stress free! When I did have to come to California for depositions and mediation, Connor held my hand the entire way and made me feel as confident and comfortable as possible. He even called Michael a few times to get his opinion on things and I really appreciated that. It felt good to know I was being taken cared of and reassured me in all my decision makings during mediation. After all, I’m no attorney so I definitely wanted their opinion on a lot of things- even though they kept reminding me I get the final say in the end. At no time did I ever feel neglected or that my case wasn’t progressing and in just 6 months it’s not just over but I’m happy with the outcome. I am so thankful I was referred to them and beyond grateful for all they’ve done. Hopefully I’ll never need legal representation again haha but if I do, definitely will reach out to them and will refer/recommend them to anyone in SoCal looking for a great firm, and even greater attorneys. Thanks Connor & Michael!! You guys are a great team!!

Needed a law firm to help with my medical lawsuit. Was lucky enough to be able to retain this firm and specifically Ruth Rizkalla. Entire process was extremely simple for me and Ruth was always responsive to my questions. She worked diligently to prepare me for my deposition and fought to get me the best settlement she could. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Michael Kelly. I reached out to him when I had a legal issue and needed some guidance. He always got back to me in a timely manner and gave very thoughtful advise. If I decide to proceed with my case, I would very much want to have Mr. Kelly represent me. My anonymous status is due to the possible pending litigation.

Relationship: represented me (securities law, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty)

Michael is among a rare breed. He was always prepared for motions, depositions and trial. On many occasions, the “bad guys” filed the same motion 3 or 4 times and still did not prevail against Michael. During an in-chambers session with the judge, Michael was complimented as always being prepared, being on time and knowing the law and the evidence code. The judge commented to me, “If I had legal problems, I would not hesitate to ask Mr. Kelly to represent me.” High praise indeed from a senior judge. The defendants spent millions of dollars with at least nine lawyers from a “top five” international defense firm. Michael and his team were professional, “spot on” the issues and prevailed. They were not intimidated. They operated with the highest integrity and are a reminder that even in today’s climate, it is not necessary to stoop to conquer. Thanks, Michael.

The negative jokes they say about lawyers do not apply in any way to Michael Kelly. I am proud and thankful to have him and his firm representing me. Throughout this difficult time of my life he was there for me not just in legal matters, which he uncovered many smoking guns, but he and his firm were also there for me on an emotional level. Besides just fighting hard and fair for me, he and many in his firm have become my friends. Michael Kelly has gone above and beyond, even helping with personal expenses. I write this review before we have gone to trial, yet win or lose I have found a winner in Michael Kelly.

Straight A’s across all categories for Kirtland & Packard, who made this action easy and efficient. Their expertise brought the matter to a quick and favorable resolution and made optimal use of lead plaintiff’s time. I would recommend strongly to others in similar cases, and my first call would be to Mr. Kelly, should I have future needs.

Mr. Kelly is extremely knowledgeable, professional and empathetic. His practices and negotiations are fair. He did not lure me with false expectations as to the outcome of my case. He listened to my concerns and represented me in a way that made me comfortable with the entire process. I would highly recommend Mr. Kelly and his firm to my family and friends.
