About Kelly
Kelly LaPrade studied at San Diego State University before earning her J.D. from Whittier Law School. Her academic path combined a broad undergraduate education with professional legal training, preparing her for practice in multiple states.
After law school, LaPrade entered private practice. She is licensed to practice in both Hawaii and Arizona. Over the years she has taken cases and matters that require attention to the different rules and expectations of those jurisdictions. That geographic range has shaped how she approaches case strategy and client advice.
LaPrade serves as a lawyer at Horovitz Tilley, LLLC. At the firm she has worked on matters that come through the office, representing clients in proceedings and during pre-litigation stages. Her role involves drafting pleadings, preparing legal research, and appearing in court and administrative settings when required.
She maintains professional memberships and participates in activities that keep her current on developments in the law. Colleagues describe her as methodical in courtroom preparation. She is known for clear written work and for explaining complex legal points in straightforward terms. Those skills have informed how she manages files and communicates with clients.
LaPrade’s practice spans matters that arise under both Hawaii and Arizona law. She handles projects that require coordination across state lines and attention to procedural differences. That breadth has meant working with local counsel and adjusting tactics to meet the expectations of different tribunals.
Outside the office, she has continued ties to the legal community through membership in professional organizations. She has also taken part in educational programs aimed at staying current on case law and statutory changes. Her colleagues at Horovitz Tilley rely on her steady handling of casework and on her ability to move matters forward.
In 2026 she continues to work at Horovitz Tilley, LLLC. Her current practice centers on representing clients in matters that arise under the laws of Hawaii and Arizona.
