Kelly has been licensed as an attorney since 2011, according to ARDC. He currently works for the Law Offices of Robert Louis Rascia, Ltd., handling criminal defense matters. He has previously worked for Steven Greenberg and Associates, Ltd.; Villalobos and Associates, P.C.; and Donald J. Angelini, Jr.
In his campaign materials he acknowledges that he has not received positive ratings from the CBA or any of the Alliance bar groups because he does not have sufficient years in practice to satisfy these groups' minimum requirements: "The rules of the Chicago Bar Association and the Alliance of Bar Associations prevent judicial candidates from being rated ‘qualified’ or ‘recommended’ unless they have been practicing for a minimum number of years (12 years and 10 years respectively). This arbitrary policy unfairly penalizes young qualified judicial candidates who have already earned sufficient professional experience to serve the public as judges."
In a year when someone is running for the Illinois Supreme Court after being a lawyer for only four years... well, who knows?

Mr. Kelly's comments on the "arbitrary policy unfairly penalizes young qualified judicial candidates who have already earned sufficient professional experience to serve the public as judges." Has some merit; if only he could have told us what professional experience he has garnered in his 8 or so years....
Rumor has it he never lost a continuance. Apparently, the bar associations don't consider that stellar achievement.
My mom lives in 10. I will tell her to vote for Liam. His big brother is a progressive.
