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.

Dependable and informative lawyer.
I literally had to show up and that was it. Kelly and her legal staff took care of everything dealing with my child support/custody case and kept me feeling confident throughout the entire process.

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....

out of state, but yet next door
First, I was referred to Kelly from several friends for my divorce, so I set up a consult meeting. Unfortunately, an emergency arose and Kelly was unavailable, so I spoke with Lorraine. I was so impressed with Kelly's assistant, Lorraine, I decided to retain Kelly as my divorce lawyer. I know that ...

Don't do it!
I scheduled a consultation with Kelly and was met with the most disrespectful person I've possibly ever encountered. I should have walked away immediately when she said, "I'm not willing to fight a case that I know you're going to lose." She didn't want to hear any reasoning or background informa...
"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."
