Kelly was prompt thorough with my case to ease my mind regarding some really grey areas within my decree. I highly recommend Kelly to represent anyone.

I hired Kelly back in August 2019, notified him of my situation and asked if he could help me retain rights to my daughter. Not only did we not get anything accomplished he took $6900 of mine and for two months did not even contact me after telling me he was going to submit everything to the courts and I should hear back ASAP from him. That being said it was the worst experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. Don’t want anyone else to have to go down the route like I did.

I’m so glad I chose Kelly to do our prenuptial agreement. I know of several esteemed family law attorneys in town, but didn’t think twice when it was time to actually hire one. From our first phone call, Kelly’s welcoming, trustworthy demeanor, and sharp understanding of martial and Texas law was evident. Perhaps most importantly, he quickly grasped our goals for the document, an amicable explanation of assets and sharing of assets post-marriage, without trying to add his own spin or complicate matters. He helped us achieve our goal easily and efficiently, and billed us very honestly and fairly. If you’ve had experience with attorneys, that alone is reason for an appreciative online review. He also was great at kindly and patiently explaining legal terms we weren’t familiar with. His office was very nice and convenient (we live Central). The whole experience was pleasant. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone who wants a strong and fair handling of a family law matter. Thank you again.

Dependable, knowledgeable, competitive, trustworthy and supportive are just a few of the first words that come to mind when describing Kelley McCarty. I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience and results for me and my family. Having to deal with the Family court system can be daunting and overwhelming but the fact is that, by the numbers, half of us will or have been there and I couldn't think of anyone else I would want on my side! Thank you again!!!

I hired Kelly McCarty a few months ago, and must say I am very satisfied with the service provided at a reasonable cost. Kelly got the job done in a timely manor

Kelly McCarty represented me during my divorce and I am very happy with how things were handled. He kept me informed of the process, patiently answered any questions I had, and was very professional. Kelly made this painful process much easier to deal with and I would definitely recommend his services.

Over the years I've referred a number of people to Kelly McCarty for representation. I've only heard great things from those people and I continue to refer potential clients to Kelly regularly. If you want a trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive attorney to handle your family law issues, Kelly is the attorney you want.

Hired Kelly for about three months for my divorce / child custody case. We had our temporary orders hearing and it went sideways for a number of reasons. We were towards the end of the docket to be called and had to hurry through our complex case. The opposing counsel brought up several damaging topics that I felt Kelly should have objected to(other legal professionals have agreed). Also, in his strategy, he threw things out that he planned to elaborate on later, in an attempt to show my ex in a negative light, but we ran out of time, and it ended up having just the opposite effect. Lastly, my financial info sheet was somehow missed and not entered into evidence even though we thought it had been submitted. In all fairness, some of these missteps may have been corrected had there been sufficient time. However, that wasn't the case and it really hurt us when the judgment was made. Kelly suggested and filed for a De Nova hearing to have the case heard all over again by a different judge, but the new court date had to be pushed way back due to both the court's and our lawyer's conflicting schedules. The current 2-2-3 visitation schedule was really hard on me and traumatic for my 6 month old. It completely changed her routine. Instead of me being her primary care giver, she was ordered to daycare 5 days a week. I was counting down the days till the new hearing. As the new hearing approached, Kelly started to really pressure me to make a deal with my husband that was still 50/50 visitation but with the addition of $1000 child support. My ultimate reason for wanting the new hearing was to get my baby out of the daycare system and on a more traditional schedule where I would designate the primary residence. Despite my objections, Kelly continued to pressure me. I finally gave in to a deal. The problem was Kelly did not fully discuss te details and an important stipulation. The result of that defeated my main reason for accepting the deal in the first place. Kelly was not available to discuss my concerns when I saw the inconsistencies for the first time in a draft written up by the opposing counsel. Days went by and then an incident occurred between my ex and I resulting from confusion about the details in the agreement. Kelly finally spoke to me the next day, but wanted discuss his invoice before anything else. Oddly, after 3 months, this was the very first time he was invoicing me. He had also just accepted $2500, just days earlier, that he said would cover his services for about the next 6 weeks. When he finally addressed my concerns about the descrepancies in the new order, he just told me he had been clear. He had actually not discussed the details at all. So my understanding, the day we waived our de nova hearing, and read the new orders before the judge, was not in align with what the agreement actually was unfortunately. We didn't get too far into that conversation before Kelly quit. I've also now learned that because I waived my right to a new hearing, the visitation schedule that I was very unhappy with will likely stick. We'd have had a chance to try to persuade a judge to grant a more favorable visitation schedule had we had the hearing.

I used Kelly Robert McCarty as my divorce lawyer from out-of-state. I needed representation in Texas, and began to dial numerous lawyers. He was the first lawyer to really listen and made me feel confident about my case, without being overly aggressive. He defended me quickly when issues would arise before the trial. He worked well at the trial, and we got most of the results we were looking for.
