I work with families both voluntarily and involuntarily if the need arises. Most cases involve step parents or grandparents, however, I have been involved with CPS adoptions as well. Please note I do not provide the child, but work with families who have a friend or family member who is placing the child for adoption.

Don’t think - just hire her!

I cannot recommend Kelly Koch highly enough. Throughout my family law case, her and her staff provided exceptional guidance and support, demonstrating both professionalism and genuine compassion. From the very first consultation, they took the time to thoroughly explain my options, answer my question...s, and ensure I felt confident in every decision. One thing I truly appreciated was Kelly’s direct and honest approach. She doesn’t sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear—she tells it like it is. Her straightforward advice made it much easier to navigate the process, set realistic expectations, and ultimately achieve the best possible outcome. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of family law made a significant difference in my case. She was always responsive, proactive, and dedicated to advocating for me. If you need a knowledgeable, reliable, and no-nonsense attorney who will fight for you while keeping you informed every step of the way, Kelly Koch is the one to call. I am incredibly grateful for her and her teams hard work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of family law assistance.

Divorce

I would highly recommend Ms.Koch. I sought her advice for my divorce. She was extremely professional and gave advice. She was very friendly and made me feel at ease with the decisions I was agreeing to.

Best in town and will get things done!

Kelly Koch was very informative in the beginning. She made me feel very comforatable during my custody crisis. Her experience helped me in my case make it go so much smoother. She helped me get what i didnt even think i could get with my child. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going throu...gh a child custody or divorce case. I have used her in two seperate occasions and i have been very satisfied. I would even say she is the best in South Texas.

Kelly Delivers Results!!!

If your looking for an attorney who is diligent, prompt, compassionate towards her clients and delivers positive results, Kelly Koch is the attorney for you. She will treat you as if you've been friends forever and will do whatever it takes to help you and your family. I had a long drawn out child s...upport case for about 4 years prior to Kelly. I hired 3 attorneys before her that resulted in 0 change and lots of debt from attorney fees. So as you can imagine I went in with very little confidence in my case. After our consultation I was not only impressed by how attentive and her attention to detail but that she was thorough and honest about our outcome. Few days later she promptly called me back after speaking to the other attorney, Thoroughly explained the pros and cons to their offer and quickly came up with a plan that would help with our outcome. By the time we got to court she had an organized plan and her confidence in that court room not only gave me comfort and peace of mind but she guided me through every negotiation resulting in a positive outcome! She is truly there for her clients till the end and will not settle for anything less. Thank you Kelly, We will forever be grateful for all that you did. I highly recommend Kelly Koch!!!

"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. 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."
