About Katharine
Biography
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.

Replied last August 27, 2025I don't believe this is from a client. I don't have any complaints filed regarding these allegations. I take my ethical duty very seriously.

Did a great job.
Kate did an excellent job. She was able to get my wife’s charges dismissed. It can be a little frustrating getting her to communicate in a timely manner, but in the end she came through for us and results is what counts. Thank you Kate. We recommend her. Jeff

Replied last August 27, 2025Thank you. I understand communication can be difficult and am working to try to solve that problem. I was down to bare bones staff during this time. Thank you for the patience and understanding!

Katharine Haus Welch's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
