About Sarah
Biography
*Please note that I represent tenants only, not landlords.
My goal is make sure all individuals with legal problems have access to the legal help they need. I offer individuals straight-forward, flat-rate billing options at prices they can afford. No more surprise bills at the end of your representation. If you have a serious legal problem and are worried about having the funds to get help, let me work with you. We can arrange something to make us both happy.
I am not your typical attorney. My journey to the legal field was a strange one. After studying biochemistry and gene therapy, I decided the lab environment wasn't for me. I looked into becoming a patent agent so I could help new inventors protect their ideas and start businesses.
I joined an existing Intellectual Property law firm and enjoyed the work. I decided to pursue a legal degree and become an attorney. After 3 1/2 years of night school, I received my license. While attending school, my interests expanded beyond patent law but always remained focused on the individual.
However, the firm's clients were primarily larger oil and gas clients rather than the individuals on which I wanted to focus. I left the firm to start my own practice. Let me know how I can help you.

Amazing!
Sarah Kelly is a fantastic lawyer and amazing human being – despite what others may say about those two things beings mutually exclusive in the legal profession. She helped me navigate my case when I was at the end of my rope and all hope was lost. Sarah was kind, patient, detail-oriented, and a fi...

Very helpful and professional!
Sarah helped me draft a demand letter, and coordinate with my ex-landlord. She was professional, prompt, and produced A+ work to help get my legal situation going in the right direction. I would definitely hire her again!

Thank you!
Though Sarah Kelly was not able to help me due to the distance, she was very helpful to direct me on ways to work through problem collecting on a court judgement.

Told me what I needed to know
I contacted Ms Kelly about a landlord in Bell County who charged me more than twice my security deposit on move out, then when I disputed his spurious charges, added even more. While she advised against taking him to court, which was not what I wanted to hear, she told me what I needed to know to ma...
