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.

Divorce Attorney
Kelly and her staff went above and beyond for me in my case. I would hire her a million times over. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in family law and there is no one else I would trust in any situation related to divorce or child custody. Hands down THE BEST!

Kelly Koch is determined, smart, and excellent at what she does. Very straight forward and let’s you know what and what is not possible. I would have not wanted anyone else by my side.

Absolutely the Best Choice in Family Law
I chose Kelly to represent me, many years ago. Kelly was extremely helpful and her "cut-to-the-chase" attitude was great. Kelly eliminated all of the "extras" that courts do not care about and stuck to the matters at hand and the relevancy to my case. The thing that impressed me the most, was how sh...

Still Praising Kelly
I may be a little late on my review but I used Kelly about 22 yrs. ago to get my son from his wayward mother so I could raise him in a decent loving household. Kelly went above and beyond to help and even with me being away on my job so long and often she got me 100% custody. I've sent many friends t...
