We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
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.

Best experience ever
Being very distraught in loosing my kids, Kelly was able to guide me and assure me she could make things right. I was able to get my kids full time and on my terms. I highly recommend her to anyone!!!!!!

Non-married child custody case
I am very glad that the Lord directed me toward Mrs. Koch's services. Honestly she can be quiet frank and it may seem like she doesn't have the time of day for you, but let me reassure you that she has your best interest at hand. I felt this way during my son's consultation. I won't lie my feelings w...

Complicated child custody agreement
I live out of state, so I was going off a recommendation from a friend-of-a-friend, and then I used avvo.com to check that out. I dealt with Lorraine in the office, and then Kelly as the court hearing got closer. Modifying custody of a minor as an intervenor and not a parent, is not an easy thing! Ke...

Do yourself a favor!
I cannot speak highly enough of Kelly Koch and her staff. I chose Kelly to represent me in a custody case. I was able to remain calm and keep a sense of confidence with Kelly and staff by my side. Her office was very inviting and comfortable in a very stressful time. Kelly stayed focused on my goals ...
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kelly is hard working, intelligent and tough. Very skilled and in the courthouse daily."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Kelly Koch for a number of years. We have practied together in the area of Family Law. Sometimes we are aligned in a case, and sometimes we are opposed. 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. If any given case requires litigation, she is a well seasoned trial advocate who can stand the ground for her clients."
"Kelly served as local counsel on several cases with me. She knows family law thoroughly and is a great litigator and mediator. She is my go to person in the Corpus Christi area."
