About Kelly L
Kelly L Petrakis studied law at Suffolk University Law School, where she completed the legal training that led her into practice in New England. She moved from the academic environment into a practicing role in two neighboring states, bringing a methodical courtroom education to day-to-day client work. Her time at Suffolk provided a foundation in litigation and legal analysis that she carried into her professional life.
Petrakis is admitted to practice in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. She uses those admissions to represent individuals and businesses across state lines. That dual jurisdiction allows her to handle matters that cross state boundaries and to advise clients on how differing statutes and court procedures may affect their cases.
Her professional path led her to establish Petrakis Law PLLC, where she serves as owner. In that role she manages the practice and directs case strategy. Running a small firm requires attention to detail, an ability to prioritize competing deadlines and a hands-on approach to client matters. Petrakis balances those administrative duties with direct work on pleadings, motions and client consultations.
She maintains membership in professional associations and keeps up with developments in the law through continuing legal education and peer contact. Those connections help her stay current on procedural changes and emerging legal issues in the region. Members of the bar and colleagues know her as a steady presence in court filings and case calendars.
Petrakis approaches each matter by assessing practical options and explaining them plainly to clients. She aims to clarify legal choices rather than overwhelm people with jargon. In litigation she prepares for hearings and trials; in other matters she explores negotiated solutions when they serve a client’s interests. Her practice style emphasizes clear communication, timely responsiveness and realistic planning.
Petrakis Law PLLC serves clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire from its practice offices. The firm handles a range of matters appropriate to those jurisdictions and represents clients in both trial-level and administrative settings. As of 2026 she continues to practice through Petrakis Law PLLC and accepts cases in both states, concentrating on client representation across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
