Of Counsel

It is not surprising that I would be drawn to a criminal law practice as I actually went to law school with the intent of becoming a FBI Agent. I came from a law enforcement family where my grandfather and my father both held the position of Sheriff of Adams County, Mississippi for more than two decades.
Prior to entering law school, I had many interests. I was a Universal Dance Association instructor while I attended Louisiana State University where I obtained my undergraduate degree with a major in Political Science and double minor in English and Psychology. I went on to earn by Juris Doctor from Ole Miss while continuing down the law enforcement path by securing internships with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Williamson County Attorney’s office. While working in Franklin, I fell in love with the area, which reminded me of my hometown. I now actively work in both Franklin, Tennessee as of counsel to Daugherty, Haas & Associates, and also in my hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to maintain connections with my two favorite communities.

After graduation, I worked as an Associate with Buerger, Moseley and Carson, then moved on to prosecute cases as an Assistant District Attorney in the 20th and 21st Judicial Districts. As the Drug Task Force Prosecutor for the 21st Judicial District, I met and married the love of my life. I ultimately decided to go out on my own, and be my own boss. When I made this decision, I knew that I wanted to remain in the courtroom as much as possible. My practice now concentrates on litigation and includes representation in the areas of criminal, family, juvenile, personal injury and general civil matters.

I do have a life outside of being an attorney. I am happily married, and I have a son and a daughter. I still enjoy dancing, and just wrapped up a year of teaching dance with the Rejoice School of Ballet located in Nashville. I am a former member of the Junior League of Nashville, and the prior Treasurer of the Williamson County Bar Association. I am also a member of the Pilgrimage Garden Club.

  I can state, without hesitation, that Kelli Haas is the most professional, accommodating and available attorney that I have worked with in my professional career. Her ability to assess a situation quickly, yet thoroughly, has been extremely beneficial to our company and her direction and guidance has always been spot-on. Her approachable personality coupled with her integrity almost makes her seem too good to be true but she is definitely the real deal! I would highly, highly recommend Kelli if you are in need of ANY type of legal advice.

  Kelli is awesome! She took the time to listen to and understand a very complicated business matter we had, and was able to make sense of it. She helped us line out a plan of action and drew up the needed paper work to make it happen. We definitely feel she has looked out for our best interest, and highly recommend her to any business owner. It is comforting to know that we have her on our side!

  I would give Kelli Haas a 5-star rating as an attorney. She is both very knowledgable about the law and is extremely professional. Kelli handled many matters for me as well as friends I referred to her in many different areas of her law practice. Her first concern is what is best for her client. I will different use her again as well as any of the attorneys in her office. I know that she would only work with people that are as hard working as she is and that have the same ethics as an attorney and care for their clients.

  As a police officer, I look at case preparation and knowledge, Jacques and Kelli so far have done a great job in this area. I have confidence in their ability.

  Kelli Haas is the most kind, trustworthy, diligent and caring individual I have encountered in my lifetime. I see these qualities in her on a daily basis in her personal life so it is not a coincidence that she carries these same characteristics into her business. You will not find an attorney more dedicated to your case than Kelli. She understands that people and businesses deserve their attorney’s full attention and dedication and she surrounds herself with associates that have that same understanding. She has a genuine desire to be of service not only to her clients but to the community as well. If you follow Kelli Haas & Associates on Facebook or peruse their website you will find many poignant and pertinent blog articles designed to bring awareness to the entire community. KHA is truly a practice you can put your faith and trust in. As someone who has worked in the non profit sector as well as the business arena, I feel I have a strong capacity to identify true hardworking and dedicated firms and individuals, and Kelli Haas & Associates is the best choice for your needs. I highly recommend KHA.

  Over the past 4 years I have been involved with Kelli Haas & Associates PLLC not only as an investigator but also as a client. Not once have I or my staff had a bad experience with any person(s) with Ms. Haas's office. When I needed a response from her office as a client or an associate it was always in a very timely manner. Her office is extremely versed on all areas of the law that they are involved in. I would recommend this law office to anyone in the areas of her practice. Larry Flair C E O Flair Enterprises Inc.

  Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy folks. Would recommend them to anyone needing law services for family custody needs!

  William Squires represented my wife and I in a complex and protracted family situation in The Williamson County Circuit Court. As Grandparents we sought custody of our Grandchildren, due to neglect by their parents. The case was complicated, as the children were of Native American descent and subject to ICWA (the Indian Child Welfare Act). William spent the necessary time to thoroughly listen and understand the case, he researched the issues in detail, and ultimately he submitted a masterful well written brief to the Court that resolved the ICWA issue. This led directly to us reaching resolution of the primary issue of neglect. Culminating in a well written and structured settlement consisting of: a defined visitation schedule, support being furnished by the parents, and their admission of neglect for future reference if needed. We now happily have full custody of the Children.

  Kelli Haas is absolute tops. I have hired her more than once and will continue to. She helped my family battle the school to get my daughter the services she needed, and succeeded quickly. She advised me on how to handle a monumentally irritating HOA issue, and more recently, helped put a stop to scammers attempting to fraud me. Kelli is down to earth and friendly, but all business when it comes down to getting the job done. She is accessible, knows her stuff, and does not nickel and dime you the way many attorneys do. Could not recommend her more!
