John E. Kelly
John Kelly runs Kelly Law Team, a six-lawyer injury practice in downtown Phoenix. The State Bar of Arizona lists him as an active member with no discipline on record, admitted in 2006.
The bar record
Arizona's own caveat. The State Bar states that its website "does not display all public sanctions or public information concerning a lawyer's disciplinary history," and directs anyone wanting the complete picture to submit a history request form. So "Discipline: None" here means none displayed — the Bar itself says that isn't necessarily the entire record. We haven't submitted the form.
Two small things worth recording. The Bar has his suite as 1520; the firm's own website says Suite 1900. Same building, different floor — one of the two is out of date, and it doesn't matter much, but we noticed. The direct line on the Bar record matches the number on his business listing exactly, which is the sort of thing that doesn't match when a listing isn't what it claims to be.
Six states, six different registers
Kelly completes the set: every lawyer featured on our homepage has now been looked up in their own state's register. Doing all six revealed something we didn't expect — the registers are not equivalent, and a "verified" badge means different amounts in different states.
Every one of the six tells you to go somewhere else for the complete answer. None of them is lying; they're each drawing a line around what they'll stand behind. We publish what each register says, name the register, date the check, and print the caveat in the state's own words. That's the honest version of "verified".
Background
Kelly was admitted in Arizona in October 2006 and is licensed there only.Verified He holds a law degree from Creighton and belongs to the State Bar's Trial Practice Section; the Bar records that he carries professional liability insurance and holds no board certified specializations.Verified
His own bar biography describes Kelly Law Team as a personal injury and car accident firm in Phoenix, and puts unusual weight on being reachable — he says clients can call, email or text him directly for a case status, and that the personal attention improves client satisfaction.Reported It's a modest claim compared to most of what we read, and it's checkable by anyone who calls.
The firm lists six lawyers: John E. Kelly, Heather A. Cornwell, Steven E. Weinberger, Robert M. Gregory, David I. Iversen and Diego F. Brito. We've checked Kelly only. The practice operates in Spanish.Reported
Practice
His bar biography lists car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, assault with injury, dog bites, product liability, medical malpractice, slip and fall, premises liability, brain injury and pedestrian accidents.Reported
Rideshare is not a stated speciality. It appears on neither his bar biography nor his firm's practice list. That's true of seven of the ten firms we've bar-checked — the pattern is consistent enough to state plainly: most attorneys who surface in rideshare searches are general injury practices. Only one of ours takes rideshare work exclusively, and one other runs a dedicated page for it. If the driver-status question matters to your claim, ask how often they handle it before you sign.
