Kelly's primary office is at 505 Exchange Parkway, Allen, TX, 75013. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new consumer attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Kelly usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Kelly discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in consumer practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Kelly for a consumer case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Kelly walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Kelly offer a free consultation?

  Kelly charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Kelly's office. Some consumer attorneys offer free consults — check Kelly's current terms during booking.

• How long do consumer cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple consumer matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Kelly gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Kelly take my case if I'm outside Allen?

  Kelly is licensed in Texas. Matters governed by Texas law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Kelly will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Kelly?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Kelly will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Kelly accepting new consumer clients right now?

  Kelly's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
