A native Texan, Audrey’s legal journey began early—by age 18, she was working in a criminal defense office. She went on to earn her law degree from Thomas M.

Audrey launched her legal career as a prosecutor, gaining invaluable courtroom experience by trying cases from traffic infractions to serious felonies. This experience gave her a profound understanding of how the justice system works from every angle. She later co-founded Jarvis & Kelly, a Denton-based law firm where she served as managing partner for over ten years, building a reputation for sharp trial skills and trusted relationships with judges, prosecutors, and court staff.

As a Senior Attorney at Michael & Associates, Audrey now leverages her extensive experience to defend clients throughout Texas. Her approach is fearless, compassionate, and strategic, rooted in the belief that every client’s case deserves the utmost attention and care.
