Patrick R. Kelly — Personal Injury Attorney

A Lawyer You Can Actually Talk To

Patrick R. Kelly is a Dallas–Fort Worth personal injury lawyer who represents individuals and families dealing with serious injuries and loss. His practice focuses on helping clients understand their options and move forward with clarity after an accident.



Patrick brings numerous valuable legal experiences to his law practice to better serve clients. The prestigious international law firm of Haynes and Boone hired Patrick after he graduated with honors from law school. Patrick practiced in the firm’s business litigation section for three years. He learned from some of the top litigators in Texas and honed his legal skills handling complex commercial litigation disputes.

Patrick eventually joined a medium-sized firm in North Dallas where he gained hands-on court experience. His interest and skills for advocacy for his clients began to flourish in the courtroom. Patrick appeared before numerous courts and administrative bodies in a wide array of matters including business disputes, personal injury cases, and family law cases.

Although Patrick enjoyed a traditional firm practice, he sought more.
