Kelsey Lynn Knight

I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. I attended Drake University and earned a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology in 2009. After graduating Magna Cum Laude, I worked at Pioneer (now Corteva) for a couple of years. I decided I hadn't had enough, so I went back to Drake and earned a Juris Doctorate Degree in 2014. From 2014-2017 I worked as an associate attorney at Culp, Doran & Genest in Des Moines. In 2017, I started practicing at Carr Law Firm, PLC. I practice mainly family and criminal law, but have experience drafting wills, closing small estates, starting small businesses, filing trademark applications, and representing members of the LGBTQ community on a variety of matters. In my free time I enjoy volunteering at the Animal Rescue League, baking, and trying to keep plants alive.

Seeing a lawyer is often a stressful experience by itself, on top of the already stressful experience that brought you into their office. I make it a priority to understand the specific needs of each of my clients, work with them to make sure they are comfortable with the process, and keep them informed.
