I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida to finish high school and then to Orlando to attend undergrad. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in just three years, with a B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in criminal justice. Throughout my life, I have always been a zealous advocate for those who need a voice.
I moved to Houston, Texas to attend South Texas College of Law for its nationally renowned advocacy program. During my three years at South Texas, I traveled around the country competing on the moot court advocacy teams, earned my certificate in mediation and passed the bar exam.
I dedicate my practice to criminal defense work serving southeast Texas, including in Harris, Brazoria, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Waller and Galveston counties. I believe that every person charged with a crime, regardless of the crime charged, deserves a zealous advocate. I believe that each client deserves to have an honest, hard working attorney in their corner.

The Attorney You Want in Your Corner
I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for my attorney and the work she put into my case. I took my case all the way to trial, and honestly, I reached a point where I genuinely believed I was going to prison. The stakes were extremely high, and I was understandably under a tremendous amount of...

Not a defending lawyer, Judgemental,unprofessional and dishonest.
This lady does not care. She judges from past records and has no compassion. She doesn't defend her clients. After family trying to contact for a month finally got in touch and her Assistant said one thing then she said another. Very unprofessional and dishonest.
I worked on your family member’s case for months, evaluating discovery and negotiating with the State. I am sorry you weren’t happy with the outcome; however, plea bargains are my client’s decisions.

The Houston prosecution gave us the run around for years!!
“After five years of stress and uncertainty, I finally found relief thanks to Kate. She stood by me every step of the way, answered all my questions patiently, and always kept me informed about the next steps.Her expertise and attention to detail were clear from day one, and I always felt heard and s...
It was a pleasure walking with you throughout this case. Thanks for your steadfastness! Wishing you all the best.
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Kate in the Harris County Courthouse elevator. At the time she was a brand new lawyer with a firm commitment to practice criminal law. I have followed her practice over the years and worked with her on cases and can say without reservation she is a fearless fighter for her clients. I know it wasn't easy being a young woman breaking into the male dominated world of criminal defense but she didn't shy away from the challenge and today is considered a top notch criminal defense attorney."
"Kate Welch is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. She stands up to fight for her clients when everyone else thinks the case is hopeless. She is a true defender of justice and the Constitution."
