Four Generations
​
Frank Kelly Sr. planted his familial & business roots in San Francisco in the early 1900's. His son, Francis J. Kelly was born, raised, and maintained his law practice in San Francisco.
Mr. Kelly's love of the law, his clients, and his practice, resulted in 62 years of practice in San Francisco. At the time of his passing in 2015, Mr. Kelly was representing his third generation of clients; many local families relied on his guidance for over half a century.
Nicole Kelly represents the fourth generation in the Kelly family to remain in San Francisco and dedicate her life and work to our beautiful city.
