| Publisher Description: Pierce Kelley is an attorney who currently works with the Three Rivers Legal Services Program in Gainesville, Florida, which represents low income individuals in civil matters in a seventeen county area of North Florida. During his thirty two years of practicing law, he has been both a criminal defense lawyer and a civil litigator. He began his career as an Assistant Public Defender in Pinellas/Pasco counties, Florida. For several years, he was the managing attorney of a five county area in rural West Virginia while with the West Virginia Legal Services Plan, Inc., which provided legal services to the rural poor. In 1985 he was an Assistant Federal Public Defender in Miami. Since 1986, Mr. Kelley has been a civil litigator, as both a lawyer for plaintiffs and a defense lawyer in personal injury, premises liability and general negligence matters. He has handled many wrongful death cases and cases involving claims of 'bad faith' on the part of insurance companies. Mr. Kelley is rated "AV" by Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating that can be given to an attorney by that organization. He has tried well over a hundred cases before juries and he has successfully handled appeals before the Supreme Courts of the states of Florida and West Virginia. Mr. Kelley has taught at various colleges and universities for over twenty five years as an Adjunct Professor. Most recently, he taught Civil Litigation to paralegal students at St. Petersburg College, in St. Petersburg, Florida, for ten years. Asleep at the Wheel is Mr. Kelley's sixth published novel. |
