About Kelly
Biography
I have been working as a lawyer since 1989, and began my family law career in 1991 after leaving the Nueces County District Attorney's Office where I was a felony prosecutor. My philosophy is to help families obtain a fresh start, without creating irreparable harm. Specifically, I like to teach my clients about the law so they can be active and informed in their settlements. I know they will most likely have a relationship with their former spouse, especially where children are concerned. I know if everyone is participates and is in agreement with the outcome, there are fewer ackward moments after the divorce is final. Afterall, you don't stop being parents even when the kids turn 18. I know from personal experience as I am a mother (son born 1991) and step mother (daughter born 1991).
However, if my opposing counsel or opposing party throws the first punch, I am in full offense mode, ready to defend my clients and go to battle for them. I just prefer that to be the last resort, not the first.
I wrote a column in the society page of the Caller-Times for three years and am active in the community, most currently as a Clown Who Cares, volunteering at Driscoll Children's Hospital each month.

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...

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!
