Orlando Criminal Defense Attorneys Who Fight for You.

The Law Office of James P. Kelly was founded on a simple idea: people facing criminal charges and traffic citations deserve direct access to the attorney handling their case — not a call center, not a voicemail, not a paralegal reading from a script.

That commitment to accessibility is what sets our firm apart. When you call our office, you speak with an attorney who can answer your questions, explain your options, and start working on your case immediately.

Our attorneys bring a rare combination of experience that most defense firms can’t offer. With backgrounds as a former Public Defender and a former State Prosecutor, we understand how cases are built from the prosecution’s side — and exactly how to challenge them from the defense side.

That dual perspective gives our clients a strategic advantage at every stage, from the initial investigation through trial.

We focus exclusively on criminal defense, DUI defense, and traffic citations. That focus means we know the local courts, the judges, and the procedures across Central Florida — and we use that knowledge to keep our clients out of the courtroom and out of jail whenever possible.

Whether you’re dealing with a speeding ticket or a serious felony charge, you’ll get the same level of attention, preparation, and aggressive advocacy.

Our firm is bilingual in English and Spanish, and we proudly serve clients throughout Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Winter Park, and surrounding communities across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, and Volusia counties.
