ABOUT KEVIN J. KELLEY
Serving people in crisis situations is what Kevin J. Kelley has done for just about his entire adult life. For 25 years, Kevin rescued people in life or death situations while serving as a firefighter and a paramedic. From talking people out of committing suicide, to helping a mom deliver a baby while she was on way to the hospital, to saving narcotic overdose victims who have stopped breathing, Kevin knows how to handle chaos. And, he knows how to help people remain calm, cool, and collected in the most stressful situations they have ever faced.
Kevin climbed the Emergency Medical Services leadership ladder and became an EMS Executive Director. He completed his master of public administration and law degrees while leading a dedicated team of EMTs and Paramedics turn around a central Massachusetts community’s local ambulance service that was on the brink of closure; an almost unprecedented worst to first story. After completing his law degree and passing the Massachusetts Bar Exam in 2004, Kevin retired from EMS and opened his solo law practice.
Albeit a different arena, Kevin still helps people in crisis situations many whom are facing months to years in jail.
