Kelly
believes that each of us has a sacred duty to live our lives
in a way that leaves the earth better after our brief visit.
This is one reason why she's so committed to justice --
inside and outside of the courtroom. Her commitment can
be seen by knowing that she has devoted (and continues to
devote) her time, talent, and treasure to reaching beyond
the courtroom and into the community at large.
A sample of Kelly's proven commitment to justice beyond
the borders of money-making legal endeavors include the
following:
-
Kelly
has represented dozens of domestic violence victims for
free or substantially reduced fees through the Georgia
Coalition Against Domestic Violence program.
-
Kelly
served as a Stephen Minister through her church, St. Catherine’s
Episcopal church, devoting time each week to the care
of emotionally or psychically injured and struggling members
of the community.

Kelly
wants to thank all the generous people who responded to her
requests for donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association
during the June 2007 “lock-up” fundraiser. Kelly
is thrilled to tell you that her friends and colleagues donated
enough money to place her in the top 5 fundraisers for this
event. More importantly, her friends and colleagues sent several
kids to camp and helped fund additional research into causes
and cures for this disease. Thank you, Atlanta!.
