Kelley and Canterbury

Reached out to them three times in four weeks. Called a lawyer in Arizona and one of the partners returned my call in less than three hours. Very unprofessional. So the law firm reply proves they did not look at any of the messages I sent them. I live in Palmer Alaska. I contacted a law firm in Arizona to get their take on my case and they were happy to oblige as I stated in less than three hours unlike a firm 35 miles away from me. Damn not only does your customer service leave a lot to be desired but you’re ignorant also.

I am a Korean traveler who had an unexpected traffic accident while visiting Alaska. Despite the long-distance communication between Korea and Alaska, Kelly and Canterbury were always professional, kind, and reassuring during our Zoom meetings. Their experience, clear judgment, and dedication led to a very satisfying outcome. They turned a difficult experience into a positive memory. Highly recommended — the Kelly & Canterbury team is truly exceptional.

I was rear ended by a speeding driver who never even touched her brakes before she smashed into me when I was stopped at a red light. My car was totaled, I was injured, andI was totally disoriented by everything that happened to me following this senseless event. I was utterly overwhelmed by the magnitude of the collision. Knowing that I needed the assistance of a qualified attorney I reached out to Kelley and Canterbury. The day that I met with Michaela she spent over three hours talking to me while I cried, while I vented, while I was totally at a loss as to what I could do or what I could expect. When I walked out of her office I felt at peace for the very first time after the collision. I was able to leave all of the legal matters in the very adept hands of Michaela and her team while I did PT and attended counseling. My physical and mental wellbeing were my responsibility; the legal matters were Michaela’s. I never worried about any of the legal wranglings. I knew I was in very good hands with Michaela and her team. They would reach out to me if needed and when I reached out to them they were always responsive in short order. My life was turned upside down. Michaela and her team treated me with dignity and I knew that I was seen; such a vital affirmation after the horrible experience at the hands of a careless person who thought me invisible as she crashed through my vehicle at a red light. When I found myself in a horrible crisis I had the great fortune of finding Michaela and her team. I trusted her completely from the very first time I met with her, and the results of my settlement with an obscenely under-insured careless driver proved that my trust was well placed. When life leaves you reeling because you are the victim of actions by another person, I believe you will be safe in the very empathetic and legally astute hands of Kelley and Canterbury. Life is hard even on the very best day, and on the worst days Michaela is the professional that you want in your corner.

My husband Marco and I have known Michaela and Chris for many years. They are wonderful people and lawyers and have been supportive to our community in many ways. More recently they provided us with some valuable advice on a legal question. Michaela in particular shared a way through a difficult situation we encountered. Her advice resulted in us providing a solution so that all parties were satisfied. We can’t thank them enough for their support, their professionalism and their kindness.

I have loved working with Michaela and her team. I was in a car accident in September of 2023 and was getting absolutely nowhere with the drivers insurance company. I was initially offered an amount of money that was an extreme joke. I contacted Michaela and my husband and I had a consultation with her. During the consultation she gave us pointers and tips and told us that she thought we could do it on our own so we wouldn’t have to give a portion of my settlement to a lawyers office. This spoke volumes with me as she wasn’t all about just making money. She was willing to give us advice and tell us things I could do to not have to give a portion of the settlement to a lawyer and it didn’t cost us anything. The consultation was completely free. However, she said that if I still couldn’t get anywhere she’d be more than happy to work with me. I tried all the tips and pointers she gave me and after a couple more months of fighting with the drivers insurance company and not getting anywhere I ended up hiring her. From the moment I signed the papers her and her team were there for me. They asked questions about how I was doing both mentally and physically which meant a lot. I had all of my questions answered and so did my husband. They took over with the doctor’s offices and hospital that I’d been dealing with that had liens on the amount of money I owed them. They were extremely thorough with everything. Anytime they needed information they let me know and as soon as I gave them the information they were always quick to respond and let me know if they needed anything else from me. All my emails and phone calls were answered in a timely manner, so I wasn’t left waiting and wondering. They made everything easier and took the stress of having to do it on my own where I wasn’t getting anywhere with the insurance company away. I just received a partial payout recently that was a bit over 8 times what the insurance company’s initial offer was. They have a nice warm inviting office, with friendly staff that make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Michaela is very knowledgeable in what she does and was able to answer all of mine and my husband’s questions. She made us feel at ease during the entire process. I’d highly recommend her and her team if you’re in need of a personal injury attorney for any reason.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Customer Service and Advocacy We Could Have Asked For We first tried to handle our claim on our own, but after weeks of frustration and feeling completely defeated, we reached out to Kelley & Canterbury. From the very first conversation, they treated us with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Instead of immediately pushing us to hire them, they gave us clear guidance and encouragement to try again on our own — something that showed us they truly put the client’s best interest first. When it became clear we still couldn’t get the result we needed, we decided to officially hire them. That’s when Michaela stepped in and worked tirelessly to secure the proper settlement we deserved. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. Every question was answered promptly, every step was explained in plain language, and we always felt like we were a priority. They balanced professionalism with compassion, making a stressful situation so much easier to navigate. Kelley & Canterbury didn’t just represent us — they stood beside us. Their dedication, honesty, and personal touch are rare to find, and we are deeply grateful for the outcome they achieved. If you want a team that will truly be on your side, at your side, every step of the way, this is the firm to call.

Kelley and Canterbury are very professional and knowledgeable about the laws in Alaska. Chris worked with my family to obtain the very best outcome for our situation and we are extremely pleased with him and the entire firm.

Kelly And Canterbury are the best! They fought hard for me to get everything possible. I would give them 100 stars!!

If you want an attorney that will get the job done, call Michaela at Kelley & Canterbury- I always knew what was going on with my case. Kelley &Canterbury is a great team that worked with me and exceeded my expectations.

This review is long overdue. I know it will make Michael's day when she sees it <3. My CASES (yes plural) were complicated and Michaela and Anastasia handled all my mood swings like true champs. I endured two personal injury incidents within a short period of time. To make things even more complicated, I had preexisting conditions and I was a full time Uber driver. It wasn't easy getting all that was due to me but Michaela came through. There were moments that I lost hope. I'm grateful to this team for setting proper expectations with me so I didn't get my hopes too high. I would rather not expect something and be surprised, then to expect it and not get it. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. For me, my experience with Kelly and Canterbury reinforced the concept of "trust the process". I didn't always trust the process...but you should. Michaela is a fighter and I'm so grateful for her compassion and strength even when I had doubts and was not the easiest to work with. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!!

Michaela is so articulated and patient! she explains details that are sometimes complicated and hard to understand. Their office is very friendly and her staff is very helpful. She did an excellent job representing us in regards to our car wreck. Highly recommend them.

I can’t thank Michaela enough for the dedication and professionalism she showed in handling my case. From day one, she was thorough, attentive, and genuinely invested in my well-being. The insurance company made the process difficult, but Michaela remained steadfast, fighting hard to secure a fair settlement that truly reflected the losses I experienced. Her expertise and clear communication helped put me at ease during a challenging time. I highly recommend Michaela to anyone in need of a strong advocate.

Chris at Kelly & Canterbury was great. My fiance and I were in a serious car accident that the troopers declared non fault even though there was obvious evidence that the other driver lost control. Chris fought for us and treated us like family. Highly recommend them.

It isn't often that one finds compassion, understanding, and dedication to helping others, as I found with the law firm of Kelley and Canterbury LLC. Their willingness to help in making my legal problems easier to handle was impressive and appreciated. If you are having personal injury problems, please contact this firm , you will not be disappointed.

I cannot recommend Kelley & Canterbury high enough. These are good quality people who truly care about their clients, not just the results. The office environment is friendly and caring, and Chris and Michaela treated us sensitively and achieved a good outcome with dignity. I trust their knowledge and judgment. Thank you for your hard work on our behalf.

Chris and his team did an excellent job in taking care of my claim. Very professional, compassionate and they made the process stress free. I would highly recommend this team if you involved in auto accident. They will take care of you.

It’s hard to fit into a short review how much I would recommend this team. From the lawyers down to the staff (including the lovely canines) - I was only met with warm welcome and nothing but understanding and patience regarding my situation. Even through a concussion and chaos in my own life - I felt reassured through our conversations and interactions, from every phone call to meeting. I knew the big stuff I didn’t have the ability to comprehend at the time was covered. Dealing with medical alone is scary, but having the knowledge of the whole team took a weight of my shoulders to focus on healing. I will forever be grateful my concussed brain picked this website because of the dogs - because it turned out to be one of the greatest decisions I could have made given my situation.
