We are thrilled to announce Kelly Welch as the firm’s newest associate attorney. She was sworn in by the Honorable Judge Norton on Thursday, September 25, 2025, after successfully passing the Florida Bar Examination. Kelly earned her Juris Doctor from Florida State University College of Law, where she ranked in the top third of her class.Kelly has been part of the Ansbacher Law team since the summer of 2024, working as a Law Clerk and gaining firsthand experience supporting the firm’s litigation and community association practices. At FSU Law, she also gained diverse legal experience through roles with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the Florida Department of Children & Families, and the Second Circuit County Court. In these roles, she drafted and reviewed executive and agency emergency orders, public records requests, contracts, dependency petitions, and termination of parental rights orders, while also preparing legal memoranda and proposed orders in family law matters.
Kelly’s commitment to public service and justice began during her undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, where she earned dual degrees in Criminology (B.A.) and Psychology (B.S.), graduating with honors.
