About Christopher W.
Christopher W. Kelley is a New Hampshire lawyer whose practice centers on consumer bankruptcy matters. He works out of his own office and represents people who come to him at difficult financial moments. His approach is straightforward. He guides clients through paperwork, hearings and the practical consequences of bankruptcy filings.
He began his legal studies at Franklin Pierce Law Center in 1991 and earned his J.D. in 1995. That education placed him in a program known for producing lawyers who work in litigation and bankruptcy arenas. The classroom years gave him a foundation in bankruptcy rules and federal procedure that he would later use in court.
Kelley has established a practice that reflects that background. He is admitted to practice in New Hampshire and is authorized to appear before the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire. He is also a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy, a group that keeps practitioners current on changes in consumer bankruptcy law. Those memberships shape the work he accepts and the professional resources he draws on.
Clients seek him out for practical help rather than theory. He handles filings, attends hearings and prepares the documents needed to pursue relief under bankruptcy statutes. He works with trustees, opposing counsel and court clerks on routine and contested matters. His office engages with the procedural side of bankruptcy as well as the counseling that helps clients understand post-filing life.
In the courtroom he aims to be clear and efficient. He files petitions and responses, negotiates with creditors when possible, and represents clients at meetings of creditors and other proceedings. His background in federal procedure supports appearances before the district court when cases require it. He balances paperwork and courtroom time in a practice built around consumer bankruptcy work.
As of 2026 he continues to operate the Law Office of Christopher W. Kelley in New Hampshire. His current practice concentrates on consumer bankruptcy matters in the state.
