Kimberlyann Robards is a dedicated attorney based in Houston, Texas, where she offers legal assistance across a diverse array of practice areas, including business litigation, real estate administration, wills and probate, guardianships, family law, bankruptcy law and debtor-creditor issues. Working out of her eponymous firm – Kimberlyann Robards, she brings to the table the experiences of over eight years.
After completing her undergraduate studies in English with a minor in philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, Ms. Robards pursued her legal education at the South Texas College of Law Houston. There, she distinguished herself by becoming a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal honor society and serving as the assistant notes and comment editor for the South Texas Law Review. Her academic prowess earned her the CALI Excellence for the Future Award in several subjects.
Graduating in the top third of her class in 2016, Ms. Robards was admitted to the State Bar of Texas the same year. She began her legal career at a private law firm, where she handled complex litigation cases, enhancing her skills in courtroom trials and legal research. She has been involved in drafting petitions for certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States and has edited dispositive motions and briefs for multibillion-dollar business disputes. Her negotiation skills were highlighted during her co-leadership in sales negotiations for an international company and her co-chairing of a pro bono trial that secured primary custody for a father.
In her career, Ms. Robards has also contributed to technological advancements in legal practice by working on the development of an app designed to help parents track custody days based on the standard possession order. This innovation demonstrates her commitment to blending legal practice with practical, client-centered solutions. In 2020, after her family faced a significant medical challenge, she was inspired to launch her own law firm. This pivotal moment reinforced her dedication to advocating for quality health care.
Rooted deeply in her Houston community, Ms. Robards continues to give back and support her clients with compassion, precision and a comprehensive understanding of the law, ensuring they receive positive outcomes for their legal issues. Her firm works closely with nursing professionals to make sure that her clients and their families receive exemplary medical care while also managing their financial affairs to support their health needs.
