Her family law practice covers divorce and custody cases, both Collaborative and litigation, adoptions, and cases involving Child Protective Services.

Kelly received her Bachelor's degree in 1994 from Austin College in Sherman, Texas, and continued to the University of Texas at Dallas for her Masters Degree in Applied Mathematics in 1997. In 2000, she went back to school, received her J.D. from Baylor University in 2003 and was admitted to the Texas Bar that year. She started out practicing law in Athens, Texas and the surrounding counties, working especially in family law, juvenile law, mental health commitments, and misdemeanor defense.

She is a member of the State Bar of Texas and co-chair and past secretary/treasurer of the Denton County Bar Family Law Section. She is also a certified Ad Litem by the State Bar of Texas, and is appointed by the Courts as an Ad Litem in Guardianship, Family, and CPS cases.

She enjoys traveling-which she often does as part of a medieval recreation society-and she is also an avid lace maker.
