Olson & Olson adds to its litigation team.

Olson & Olson is pleased to welcome Kelly A. Dempsey to our legal team. As a skilled attorney with extensive trial practice, Kelly is prepared to aggressively represent our clients in matters of litigation. Her extensive first chair jury trial history includes almost 50 successful verdicts.
Ms. Dempsey comes to our firm with 15 years’ cumulative experience at the City of Houston, having been a Senior Assistant City Attorney during the past six years. Her career also includes work in the private sector where she represented and defended a variety of business clients in premise liability, security, construction, medical malpractice, workers compensation, and automobile litigation, both with a private firm and in her solo practice. Not only has she practiced law, she has also taught criminal law in Houston’s community college system. Kelly received her Doctorate of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law in 1993, after having earned her BBA from the University of Texas at Austin.
When not practicing law, Kelly devotes her volunteer hours as an adult role model to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Houston, helping to impact children who face adversity. Kelly’s little brother, Travis, has reaped the benefits of her knowledge and positive impact for the past nine years – he is 20 now, but the relationship continues!
Also near and dear to Kelly’s heart is her association with the Texas Gulf Coast Master Naturalist program, where she is a member of the corps of well-informed volunteers who provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities. As a Texas Master Naturalist, Kelly enjoys not only getting her feet wet and her hands dirty, but also spending time in a natural setting, learning about different plant and animal species, and discovering new things.
