With strategic-thinking—and a commitment to providing the best possible service—Kelly helps her clients pursue successful resolutions.

She also has extensive experience drafting and negotiating family law agreements, and representing clients in the Provincial Court of British Columbia, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

Kelly obtained her Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Simon Fraser University and her law degree from the University of British Columbia. She is a member of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, the Canadian Bar Association, and the North Shore Bar Association, and has co-authored papers on family law for professional organizations, including the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia.
