About Kelli Lester

Kelli Lester has dedicated her life to representing individuals who have been injured as a result of traumatic accidents.

Kelli Lester is the Managing Partner of the Nashville office and also oversees the daily operations of the Bowling Green, Kentucky office. She was born and raised in the Southern Kentucky/Northern Tennessee area, where all of her family still reside, and is licensed to practice law in both states. Kelli is a proud Hilltopper, having graduated from Western Kentucky University magna cum laude. While attending the University of Kentucky School of Law, she received numerous awards for her trial advocacy skills and was chosen to be an editor for the Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture and Natural Resources Law.

She has tried a number of cases successfully to verdict in Kentucky and has obtained numerous seven-figure settlements when the insurance companies offered $0 prior to litigation. She grew up in a very small town, which continues to drive her passion for helping everyday people who are taken advantage of by insurance companies.

When Kelli isn’t working she enjoys being with her husband, Chase and two daughters, Lane and Lola.

Hired Attorney

From the day I called Kelli she has been on my side and walking me through every step. We've had a lot of ups and downs, but through it all she's been a shoulder to lean on and a friend not just my lawyer. She's one of the most compassionate people I have come into contact with. Through it all she always took on the stress so I didn't have to carry it. I know God guided me to Kelli because she has been exactly what I needed to get me through this. She'll fight all the way to the end and then some. I would recommend Kelli to anyone as I speak about her frequently. Sincerely, Marcellina Cordes

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
