Blue Williams

As a wife and mother of three, Blue Williams’ Attorney Kelly Brian personifies her motto, “Don’t let anything limit you.”

This approach gives Brian unflappable confidence in pursuing her dreams. One year after graduating from LSU, she was hired by McNeese State University to establish their athletic endowment fund. A year later, the foundation was in place.

Brian then set her sites on becoming a lawyer and joined Blue Williams where she specializes in medical malpractice defense. Currently, Brian is dealing with special provisions in the law, rarely applicable before COVID. At the forefront of those changes, she and Blue Williams help clients navigate these new issues.

Recently, Brian proposed a motion to dismiss a malpractice case based on a very specific issue of law. “I had to take a risk and think outside the box,” Brian said. “The other attorneys involved didn’t think I had much of a chance but humored me anyway.” Not only was her motion granted by the Western District Federal Court, it ended up carving out a narrow exception, applying the Louisiana Medical Malpractice cap to a specific group of federal emergency medicine claims.

Brian is successful because nothing limits her—not even fear of failure. “Failure is not the end. It is feedback,” she said.
