Newton District Court
No. 1812 CR 648
The Client, 63-year old female nurse without a criminal record of any kind, is arrested for OUI- Drugs and Leaving the Scene after Causing Property Damage. While she was operating her car, she side swiped several vehicles and left the area. Apparently, her vehicle then hit a curb, blowing out both tires on the passenger side. The police were summoned as a result of a 911 call. Upon their arrival, they discovered that the Client appeared to be under some ‘influence’ of a drug, based upon her demeanor, speech and physical balance. The police retrieved multiple bottles of prescribed medication from her vehicle, some bearing her name, others not. She is asked to perform a series of ‘field sobriety tests’ – at the conclusion of which she is arrested and transported to the police station. Atty. Kelly is retained and a series of hearings are conducted over the next 11 months. The focus of the hearings involve issues concerning the inadequate examination of the drugs at the Mass. State Police Lab, validity of ‘field sobriety testing’ (as to how same relates to OUI alcohol v. OUI drugs ) and the Prosecution’s request that they be allowed to employ the services of a ‘Drug Recognition Expert’ ( to determine upon review of the police report – that the Client ‘showed signs’ of drug use / impairment ).
On this day of trial, the prosecutor dismissed the OUI Drug charge and the Client was placed on Pre-Trial Probation for 6 months on the leaving the scene charge. She must attend a National Safety Drivers Course for 4 hours. After the successful conclusion of same, this charge will be dismissed as well.
RESULT: OUI DRUG CHARGE DISMISSED, LOSS OF LICENSE AND CRIMINAL RECORD AVOIDED.

Attorney Kelly happened to be present, an agreed to represent the young man Pro Bono ( without fee ). Attorney Kelly persuades the Court NOT to arraign him at this time. Shortly thereafter, the university expels the Client after an informal ‘student conduct hearing’. At the time of his expulsion, he was almost a straight ‘A’ student that was earned from the Fall semester. As a result of his departure from school, ( just 3 weeks from the end of the Spring semester ) – he lost forever, any and all grade(s) or hours of study, + money his parents had paid for said semester. Attorney Kelly steadfastly believes the university ( which will remain unnamed here ) overreacted and unjustly expelled this student without proper cause.

RESULT: CASE DISMISSED PRIOR TO ARRAIGNMENT, NO RECORD OF A COURT APPEARANCE.

Middlesex Superior Court
No. 1881 CR 619
The Client, 54-year old male, father of 2 grown children has been involved in drugs just about his entire life. He once again is arrested for possession to distribute drugs, subsequent offense. A conviction carries a mandatory sentence of 3.5 years in State prison. After waiting trial for 6 months, Atty. Kelly is asked by the Court to handle the matter, ( prior Counsel is removed from the case ). The Client was held on $10,000.00 bail. Atty. Kelly persuades the Court to release him on GPS ( ankle bracelet ) with the requirement that he enter a drug treatment program while awaiting trial. For several months the Client tests negative for drugs, engages in intense counseling – and maybe for the first time in a long time, he earnestly addresses his ‘drug problem’. On this day, Atty. Kelly convinces the Prosecutor to amend the ‘mandatory’ portion of the indictment, thereby allowing the Court to sentence the Client to ‘probation’ for 18 months, and of course ( continue with drug counseling and follow up care ).
RESULT: MANDATORY STATE PRISON SENTENCE AVOIDED, CLIENT IS PLACED ON PROBATION.
August 12, 2019
Suffolk Superior Court
Jury Session
No. 1884 CR 673
The Client, 32-year-old male, father of a single child with a significant history for gun offenses, is once again arrested for possession of a firearm. However in this case, the facts and penalty exposure, are much different then the ‘typical’ possession of gun/ammo charges. The Client’s friends are arrested in a motor vehicle where several guns are found in a ‘hidden compartment’ within the vehicle. Although the Client is not in the vehicle, he is in the area. The problem really is, his ‘fingerprint’ is located on (1) of the firearms. He is eventually indicted, held – an awaits trial. Attorney Kelly is asked to represent him by the Court. Through out the exchange of ‘discovery’, i.e. police reports, forensic reports,
( ballistics and fingerprint analysis ), Grand Jury minutes, Atty. Kelly realizes the Prosecutor has erred in his presentation before the Grand Jury, namely an improper ‘indictment’ relative to the ‘fingerprint firearm’.
The Client is facing a mandatory 20 years in State prison if convicted of possession of a firearm, why ? Because, his record ( State and Federal ) is replete with convictions for prior gun and violent crimes – which places him into a category known as ‘Armed Career Criminal’, which alone carries a 15 year ‘mando’.
On this day of trial, the Prosecutor offers the Client 2 ½ years State Prison, dismissing the 4 other charges, with no probation to follow. He has already waited 14 months for trial, thereby it is expected he will be released in 12 months or so, avoiding an unthinkable ‘double decade’ of State prison confinement. This ‘plea offer’ is largely based upon Atty. Kelly’s relentless conversation(s) and discussions with the Prosecutor concerning the state of the evidence, justice and what is a ‘fair sentence’ in view of the foregoing.
However, the ‘agreed upon sentence’, still needed to be approved by the trial judge.
Both parties, after long argument before the judge, were able to convince her to impose the aforementioned sentence.
RESULT: LENGTHY STATE PRISON CONFINEMENT AVOIDED.

Jury Session
No. 1951 CR 781
The Client, 29-year old male traveling salesman, is arrested and charged with O.U.I., after colliding with another motor vehicle at a stop light. The police arrive, smell alcohol on his person, glassy eyes and slurred speech. He is handcuffed, placed in the cruiser and transported to the police station for ‘booking’. Fortunately, he refuses to participate in any ‘field sobriety testing’ i.e. one leg stand, walk a straight line, alphabet, etc. . He further refuses to take a ‘breath test’ ( all good decisions ). His ‘booking’ at the station, is both audio and visually recorded, his performance is outstanding. On this day of trial, the Prosecutor fails/refuses to admit said video tape into evidence. However, Atty. Kelly presents same to the jury, who appear convinced that the prior testimony of the police officers that allege the Client had slurred speech, loss of balance at the tile of his arrest is not believable by jury. After an intense cross-examination of 3 police officer by Atty. Kelly, coupled with a ‘powerful’ closing to the jury, a verdict is returned – NOT GUILTY OF O.U.I. .
RESULT: JURY VERDICT – NOT GUILTY OF O.U.I.

She is brought to Court, and arraigned on a felony charge A&B with a Dangerous Weapon. However, at the time – she was to be evaluated for a ‘Diversion Program’* which in essence ( if accepted by the D.A.’s Office ) WOULD RESULT IN HER NOT BE ARRAIGNED ON ANY CHARGES. Thereby preserving her ‘clean record’. Unfortunately, her then legal counsel failed to continue the arraignment for the aforementioned purpose. On or about July 25, 2019, the Court appointed Atty. Kelly to handle the matter, and perhaps ‘undo’ the apparent ‘wrongdoing’. Atty. Kelly, with little effort, convinces the D.A.’s Office of the ‘injustice’ and further persuades the Court, this day – that her record should be expunged. The Court agrees, her record is vacated/expunged and she is accepted into the ‘Diversion Program’.
RESULT: ‘CLEAN RECORD PRESERVED’
* Diversion Program is available to young adults who take responsibility for their behavior
and agree to comply with various conditions for a period of time, i.e. no drugs, alcohol, no further criminal actions/cases, attend school, seek employment, etc. . At the successful conclusion, the case is dismissed and the young adult is never arraigned, thus no ‘criminal record’.

No. 1851 CR 934 et al
The Client, 45-year old female – non-citizen, is arrested and charged with 12 separate complaints for criminal violation(s) of a Restraining Order ( that was originally obtained by her husband who is a US citizen ). The Client claims that the husband, while commencing a divorce action, improperly and with malice, enticed the Client to ‘break’ said order by coming back into the US and contacting him. After her arraignment in the District Court, she was arrested by ICE ‘immigration customs enforcement’ and held in a Federal Detention Facility for 6 months awaiting trial. On this day of trial, the Prosecutor Nolle Prosqui ( Dismissed ) 11 of the 12 charges [ in the ‘interest of justice’ ] – the remaining ‘violation’ resulted in Pre-Trial Probation for 6 months. Although the end result was extremely favorable to the Client in the State Court herein, her ‘deportation’ in the Federal Immigration Court appears likely.

No. 1986 CR 1299 / 1986 CR 1532
Comm. v. Michael Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan was arrested in 1986 and charged with 1st Degree Murder of another man in Somerville, MA. In 1987, the case went to trial and after testimony from civilians, police and forensic chemists, he was convicted by a jury of 1st degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Mr. Sullivan always professed his innocence from the day he was arrested. After 28 years in State Prison and with the great assistance of the Innocence Project, in particular the remarkable work of Attorneys Lisa Kavanaugh and Dana Curhan, a Motion for a New Trial was presented to the Court. As such, Michael was granted a new trial and released from prison 4 ½ years ago with an ankle bracelet and a bail of 25K, ( that was posted by his family). At that time Atty. Kelly was appointed as his ‘new trial counsel’ to defend him against the indictment of murder. After a series of hearings over the last 4+ years, the Prosecutor finally realized ( after countless argument(s) and meetings with Atty. Kelly ) that in view of newly discovered DNA results and other issues, the Commonwealth was unable to proceed to trial. As such, Mr. Sullivan’s case was dismissed on 2/28/2019, and on this day, he was forever released from his GPS, and the thought of returning to prison for the rest of his life. To state that he and his family were overwhelmed with joy and relief, is an understatement. See The Boston Globe article, date 3/3/2019 “I feel like a new Man…”
RESULT: 1ST DEGREE MURDER INDICTMENT DISMISSED – 33 YEARS LATER, AFTER CLIENT SPENT 28 YEARS IN PRISON.
