I grew up in Austin, and giving back to the community is a big deal to me.  I currently serve as the Treasurer for the Travis County Women Lawyer's Foundationtion, Secretary of The Solo Small Firm Section of The Austin Bar Association, and board member on the Estate Planning and Probate Section of the Austin Bar Association.  I am a Supervising Attorney for the UT OUTlaw Wills Clinic.  In the past I have also been the President and Treasurer of the Travis County Women Lawyers' Associationlegal, advising board member on the AGLCC and AGLPF and Vice President of my homeowner's association.  In addition, I accept ad litem appointments from the Travis County Probate Court.

I grew up in Austin so know the people, politics and courts.  I went to Austin High School, then on to Austin College in Sherman Texas receiving a B.A. in Business and Political Science in 1982. The following year I entered the field of residential real estate, becoming a real estate salesman for J B Goodwin Realtors then another company before deciding to become an attorney.  Entering South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas, in January 1985, I attended school full time while also clerking until graduating and becoming licensed in 1989.  During law school, I also became a licensed real estate broker in 1987, which license I have maintained since.  With a desire to help people without a lawfirm mark up, I opened my first private practice in 1990 providing both legal and real estate services.  Initially this consisted mostly of real estate and collection matters.  From 2007 to August 2013 I worked for the Texas Real Estate Commission assisting the State of Texas with enforcement of the Real Estate License Act through administrative proceedings and utilizing my background in the industry.  After departing, I re-established a private practice with the flexibility and affordability you need.  I maintain a home office and prefer to go to the client instead o you having to come to me - you have what you need there and I can lower my rate without office overhead.  Let me know how I can help with your legal and real estate needs.

I grew up in a small East Texas town, near the Big Thicket.  People were poor, and the economy was always tough.  Services such as mental health providers, counseling, and educational classes were few and far between.  I saw then, as a young girl, that people were never going to change their ways of living if they never knew HOW to change, or WHY they should.  My mother worked for 40 years in special education, and raised my sister and I with a healthy respect for people with disabilities, and a tremendous appreciation for the gifts we were given.  All of these circumstances, as well as my desire to help others who are lost in the maze of the criminal justice system, culminated in my ambition to be a criminal defense lawyer at the age of 11.. I followed my dream, through its many twists and turns, and stuck with it - even when the obstacles seemed insurmountable.  I know that I can inspire my clients to do the same, and the emotional reward for both of us is something that cannot be quantified.. I am also an avid live-music supporter, and country/swing dancer.  This often lends to healthy discussions with my musician friends, about how justice is administered in our society.  Fortunately, I can say that not many of them get into trouble, so it's mainly a hobby for me.

I focus my practice in the areas of business, real estate, construction law, and estate planning, and represent a wide variety of clients, including but not limited to lending institutions, real estate developers, real estate investors, business owners, nonprofit organizations, homeowners associations, general contractors, and individuals.

I find solutions to problems and  defend  health care professionals against  those individuals and entites who would seek to harm them or their business.

I enjoy the practice of law and am passionate about advocating for the rights of my clients.

I do the work I do because I believe in the presumption of innocence.  If you have not been found guilty in a court of law, you should not be treated like a criminal based on unfounded allegations by the government.  I focus primarily on helping people seal or destroy their arest records through the processes of expunction (or "expungement") and nondisclosure.

I defend people accused of domestic assault in Austin, Texas.  My clients are the type of people who plan for their futures and generally make good choices in life. Being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful situations that many of my clients have ever faced.  My clients also understand that a conviction on their criminal records will do permanent damage to their reputations and their careers.. I do not represent common criminals.  My clients are good people that cannot afford to NOT to be represented by an exceptional attorney that focuses on defending people accused of domestic assault in Travis County.  Protecting my clients from a system that treats all defendants like common criminals is my foremost concern.. A more complete profile is available at .

I currently represent clients in a range of litigation matters, including complex aviation-related business litigation on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants, as well as products liability and catastrophic personal injury litigation, through both trial and appeal. I was named "Best of the Best" in the area of Civil Litigation by the Texas Lawyers Group in 2012 and selected for Rising Star Super Lawyers for the past two years.. Prior to attending law school, I ran a successful translation practice (Spanish/English), principally focusing on legal and commercial transactions. This gave me a unique opportunity to address legal issues and concerns frequently raised in commercial transactions—with an international twist. This experience renewed my interest in the law and ultimately inspired me to attend law school.

I counsel investors, developers, and start-ups primarily in the energy and technology industries.  I primarily represent my tech clients during early stages of development (through Series A financing).  I represent my energy clients through all stages of project development and operation, handling everything from tax equity and sponsor participation, securities law compliance, debt and other financing agreements, and all core project paper (site control, interconnection, EPC, PPA, O&M).  A significant portion of my practice involves investment transactions and M&A deals, regardless of industry.. I also spend roughly one-third of my time providing general corporate counsel services.

I consider myself a criminal defense trial attorney. Whether it is trying a misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated case to a much more serious felony assault charge, I truly love going to bat for people. My practice consists of representing individuals charged with the full spectrum of criminal offenses. The thing that separates my law practice from most others is that I pride myself on personal service. When dealing with me, phone calls get returned promptly and questions are answered timely. Frequently people tell me that they have never met a lawyer who was so approachable or gave them honest answers about their case until they met me. I invite you to come in for a free consultation. If nothing else, I can promise you will know more about your case than you did when you came in and it won't cost you a dime.

I believe in treating my clients as intelligent equals in a joint venture to solve their problems and improve their lives.  This means telling you what you need to know, not what I think you want to hear.  It also means explaining law and procedure to you without talking down to you.. I believe in providing more value to my clients than they expect or request.  This starts with being accessible and responsive to client needs.  It goes beyond diligent preparation and prompt delivery of services. It is the result of taking a real human interest in my clients.. I believe the best lawyers genuinely delight in solving their clients problems and in helping their clients achieve their goals.. I grew up in Houston and obtained my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University, where I majored in political science.  I graduated with honors from the Valparaiso University School of Law in 1999.  While in law school, I was privileged to clerk at Harper & Rogers, P.C., a premier criminal defense firm in Northwest Indiana.  I settled in Austin after law school and worked for a small firm for two years before launching my own practice at the end of 2001.. I am board certified as a specialist in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.. Since 1999, I’ve maintained membership in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Austin Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.  I am also a member of the Austin and Williamson County Bar Associations.. In addition to my law license, which allows me to practice in all state courts in Texas, I am also admitted to practice in the Federal Courts in the Western District of Texas, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.

I believe in the jury system and right of every individual and company to have their day in court.  After representing thousands of different clients in different matters, the chance to try your case to a jury of your peers is a precious right.  This philosphy has guided my representation of clients since I began practicing law.

I became a lawyer in 1998 and began my legal career as an Assistant Attorney General in 1999 in the Habeas Corpus Division.  In 2004, I left the AG's office and went into private practice.  I am a founding member of Terry & Kelly, PLLC and concentrate on personal injury cases because I am sick and tired of insurance companies treating people badly and choosing profits over people.

I assist individuals throughout Colorado and Texas with their business, real estate, startup, and appellate legal needs.
