Earlier this year, Founding Partner Robert W. Kelley was inducted into the Broward County Bar Association Hall of Fame, a recognition reserved for attorneys whose impact reaches far beyond individual cases to leave a lasting mark on both the community and the profession. Bob Kelley has always operated on the belief that “the best in people emerges when they help others,” a principle that has shaped not only how the firm tries cases, but how we show up for the community around us.
Kelley’s Hall of Fame induction and Serra’s appointment to the Board land in the same historic year of Kelley | Uustal’s 20th anniversary. These are meaningful reminders that as we grow, so does our commitment to our clients, to our legal profession across the country, and to the community we call home in South Florida.
