About Kelly
Kelly Thomas earned her J.D. from Georgia State University College of Law in 1990 after completing a bachelor’s degree at Brenau Women’s College in 1987. Those formative years set the stage for a legal career rooted in Georgia. She stayed in-state to build her practice and to serve clients across a range of communities.
She is associated with Berry & Associates, where she joined colleagues handling a variety of matters for individuals and businesses. Over time she has concentrated on financial distress and restructuring issues. Membership in the Southeastern Bankruptcy Institute signals sustained engagement with bankruptcy law and its evolving practice areas.
Thomas holds current membership in the State Bar of Georgia and is active in the Atlanta Bar Association. She has kept professional ties to local bar groups while participating in specialized bankruptcy circles. That combination gives her both a statewide platform and subject-matter contacts that inform case strategy and procedural handling.
Her work touches both consumer and commercial bankruptcy matters. She represents clients at different stages of financial difficulty, from initial counseling through court filings. Her practice involves case intake, plan development, and courtroom appearances where necessary. She draws on the professional networks available through bar and bankruptcy institute involvement to keep abreast of procedural changes and best practices.
Clients find her practice spread across multiple offices. She and her colleagues maintain locations in Atlanta, Dalton, Conyers, Cartersville, Rome, Newnan, Kennesaw, Morrow, Gainesville, Duluth and Douglasville. That footprint reflects an effort to be accessible to clients across northern and central Georgia. It also allows handling matters in local courts and meeting clients in their communities.
Thomas frames cases around practical solutions and clear communication. She emphasizes explaining options so clients understand timelines, likely outcomes, and procedural steps. Casework can be technical, so she prioritizes breaking complex rules into manageable pieces. The result is a steady process from intake to resolution.
She remains an active member of the State Bar of Georgia and the Southeastern Bankruptcy Institute and continues to work from the multi-office platform of Berry & Associates. Her current practice concentrates on bankruptcy matters and related consumer financial issues across Georgia.
