Admitted to all federal districts in the state of Florida, Charlotte Fernée Kelly, Esq. is an aggressive litigator and legal counselor. She enjoys helping her clients find both legal and practical solutions for their short and long-term needs.
Practicing all aspects of labor and employment law, Ms. Kelly regularly represents parties in arbitration and litigation in both state and federal court throughout Florida. As an executive committee member since 2012 and Past President of the Florida Chapter of National Employment Lawyers Association, as well as membership and certification with the Society for Human Resource Management, Ms. Kelly’s clients benefit from her well-rounded perspective, informed sensitivities, and unique skill-set only developed by substantial experience representing both sides of the “v”. Indeed, Ms. Kelly has built her reputation on winning adversarial proceedings, but she also knows when a client’s best interests require a more tailored approach. She also assists with policy formation, contract drafting and negotiation, and legal advising on a wide range of issues, questions, and concerns specific to the workplace.

She is a member of The Florida Bar Labor and Employment Law Section, as well as their Young Lawyers Division, and has held memberships in the Hillsborough County Bar Association and the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers.

Mission
At Fernee Kelly Law, we help clients overcome their work-related conflicts so they can get their lives and livelihoods back on track. Our firm is committed to delivering top-notch traditional and non-traditional legal services tailored to clients’ individual objectives. We take our time to listen and to understand our clients’ concerns in order to customize a solution directly responding to their specific needs.
Vision
Work means livelihood. Each workplace is an organization of individuals, with each working part relying on the proper functioning of the other for its own continuing livelihood. When one working part ceases to properly function, or completely fails, the other parts also suffer — and to the ultimate detriment of our community as a whole. Whether an employee, an employer, or a business owner, our firm addresses that workplace failure, so our client can get back to a working livelihood — to the ultimate betterment of our community as a whole.
