Here to Serve

– Established in 1959 –

Law has always been a family affair for the Kelley Family. Before practicing law in his own practice (Matthews X. Kelley Law, LLC), Matt Kelley was a long-standing part of Kelley, Kelley & Kelley, which was founded by John P. Kelley in 1959. John Kelley established Kelley, Kelley, & Kelley on principles of professionalism, exceptional work product, attentive service, and tenacious representation in the most cost effective manner.

 

He and his sons Bill and Matthew have been serving the northwestern Chicagoland area (Schaumburg and surrounding) with these principles in mind for decades.  John Kelley is now of happy memory, and Bill Kelley has recently become a Cook County circuit judge.  Matthew X. Kelley is continuing the family tradition of excellent, extraordinarily competent, attentive service for all clients. 

 

Matt Kelley's areas of focus include real estate, estate planning and probate, and personal injury.
