Kelly P. Dunbar

Exceptional Appellate Counsel for a Complex Regulatory Challenge

When our technology firm faced a daunting appellate challenge following an adverse regulatory ruling, we turned to Kelly Dunbar. Her deep expertise in appellate practice, honed over two decades, was immediately evident. Kelly possesses a rare ability to distill complex technical and legal arguments into a compelling narrative for the court. Her background from Yale Law School and her recognition by Best Lawyers were not just credentials on paper; they translated directly into a strategic advantage for our case. Kelly and her team at WilmerHale in Washington, D.C., conducted a meticulous review of the administrative record, identified subtle procedural errors, and crafted a masterful brief that focused on core jurisdictional questions. Throughout the process, she maintained a calm, assured presence, keeping us informed and involved without overwhelming us with legalese. The result was a complete reversal of the lower decision, a victory that preserved our operational viability. Kelly’s combination of intellectual rigor, practical judgment, and client-focused professionalism is truly outstanding. For any matter requiring sophisticated appellate advocacy, she is the first attorney I would recommend.
