About Kim-Marie
Kim-Marie Phelan built a legal career on steady progression and long-term ties to the Massachusetts bar. She earned her J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center in 1984. The degree came at a time when many new lawyers were shaping careers across state lines. Phelan moved into practice and by 1988 she had joined the Massachusetts State Bar, a membership she retains today.
Her early years in the profession included the practical work that typically shapes a solo practitioner: courtroom appearances, client counseling, document drafting and negotiation. Over time she established her own practice, concentrating her day-to-day work on the matters that state courts and local clients bring most often. She has navigated the steady demands of maintaining a small law office while meeting the expectations of individual and business clients.
Phelan’s practice reflects the kind of hands-on experience that comes from operating a law office. She manages the administrative side of practice alongside legal work. That dual role gives her a clear view of how procedural deadlines, court rules and client communications intersect. Colleagues and clients who have worked with her value that practical orientation because it keeps cases moving.
She has sustained an active membership in the Massachusetts State Bar since 1988. That long-standing connection to the state bar places her among lawyers who have practiced across decades of legal change. The legal landscape in Massachusetts has evolved in many areas during that time. Phelan has adapted her practice to meet shifting procedural requirements and client expectations while maintaining a consistent presence in the local legal community.
Today she operates the Law Office of Kim-Marie Phelan LLC. The office handles a range of matters brought by clients in Massachusetts. Phelan runs the practice in a way that reflects the combined roles of advocate, advisor and office manager. Her work is grounded in the training she received at the University of Houston Law Center and the professional experience she has accumulated since joining the bar.
Her current practice focuses on serving clients in Massachusetts through the Law Office of Kim-Marie Phelan LLC.
