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.

Greatest Lawyer! Got me custody of my children!
I came to Kelly's office with no appointment and plead my case to her secretary who then called Kelly and explained my situation... Kelly went out of her way to help me with my case.

Thank goodness for Kelly
As you might expect, the day you need to see an attorney is not the best day of your life. Thank to the friendly staff for getting me an appointment quickly. Kelly is a straight shooter and I knew exactly what to expect and what not to expect. I wouldn't want to go through it again, but if I did, I w...
