I work with families both voluntarily and involuntarily if the need arises. Most cases involve step parents or grandparents, however, I have been involved with CPS adoptions as well. Please note I do not provide the child, but work with families who have a friend or family member who is placing the child for adoption.

Don’t think - just hire her!

I cannot recommend Kelly Koch highly enough. Throughout my family law case, her and her staff provided exceptional guidance and support, demonstrating both professionalism and genuine compassion. From the very first consultation, they took the time to thoroughly explain my options, answer my question...s, and ensure I felt confident in every decision. One thing I truly appreciated was Kelly’s direct and honest approach. She doesn’t sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear—she tells it like it is. Her straightforward advice made it much easier to navigate the process, set realistic expectations, and ultimately achieve the best possible outcome. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of family law made a significant difference in my case. She was always responsive, proactive, and dedicated to advocating for me. If you need a knowledgeable, reliable, and no-nonsense attorney who will fight for you while keeping you informed every step of the way, Kelly Koch is the one to call. I am incredibly grateful for her and her teams hard work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of family law assistance.

Outcome of My Divorce In My Favor!

I had a pleasant experience during my divorce with Kelly Koch as my attorney. She was very professional and knew what she was talking about. She looked out for my best interest. My divorce ended in my favor. Kelly is very honest and will tell you like it is - so if you're wasting time, she'll tel...l you! I highly recommend Kelly.

Unwavering

I started with Kelly Koch and her team in September 2022. Nearly two and a half years later, my journey with them appears to finally be over. During that time, my ex-wife went through three attorneys. As for me, I never had a thought of straying from the legal support they provided. They were cle...arly in control of everything I had going on on that front, allowing me to focus on my children and the new chapter we were starting. Like I alluded to in my original review, I wish life was a fairy tale, but many times it is not. As such, if you are in need of an attorney, go with Kelly. She is a great attorney and has a great team. They will take care of you until the end.

Efficient and Effective

Kelly and her team are a delight to work with. They have so much experience that it makes working with them precise, efficient, and effective. I have always gotten exactly what I asked for and more with Kelly with minimal effort on my part. Thank you for being so good at what you do.

Divorce Attorney

Kelly and her staff went above and beyond for me in my case. I would hire her a million times over. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in family law and there is no one else I would trust in any situation related to divorce or child custody. Hands down THE BEST!

"I've had a few cases with Kelly. She is extremely efficient, business-like and professional, which is a stark contrast to the generally laid-back, "whenever" attitude prevalent in this area. She comes on strong but that's ok and I have recommended her to others."

In any case scenario, I have been able to work with Kelly to resolve the case, to the best possible conclusion. She continues to be amenable and approachable. I look forward to working with her.
