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.

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...

Best divorce lawyer
Kelly and her staff helped me so much with my divorce. Made everything simple and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I am very satisfied with the outcome. She was there from start to finish. Best lawyer in corpus hands down.

Messy out of state divorce handle with care
First most any divorce is hard and difficult but when you add the being out of state to the equation it makes it extremely difficult on both parties. That was the case for me. I hired Kelly and her staff to help me file what I thought was going to be an easy divorce, but some how it didn't end up tha...
