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.

Very efficient and effective. This is my second divorce. I wished I used Kelly the first time. I followed her career and when the time came I hired her. I like her no nonsense approach. Aggressive when appropriate. If you need a lawyer she will take care if you

Professional and Knowledgeable to say the least
I would recommend Kelly to anyone dealing with a child's well being. We recently hired her to represent our case. Kelly knows the law, she tells the truth, and she doesn't waste your time. There really isn't anything more to ask for in an attorney. Based on the attorneys that I have dealt with in t...

Hire Kelly if you want someone in your corner
my wife and I didn't want to make our divorce hard, but dealing with lawyers is hard. Kelly and her staff worked with us and made me comfortable. I really like that we worked out our problems in mediation and didn't have to go to court. I got treated fairly in mediation, even though I was the man....
"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."
