Kelly Hanen is a trial attorney at Baker Botts LLP and the current President-Elect of HYLA.  She joins Femi and Patrick to discuss her practice, pro bono work, and involvement in HYLA over the years.  Femi and Patrick also ask her about her goals for her terms as President in the coming year, where she mentions that one of her focuses will be on the "Service" component of HYLA's mission.  She highlights an upcoming Pro Bono Guardianship Project that HYLA is undertaking, in partnership with Houston Volunteer Lawyers, and also gives a bit of insight into what it was like to grow up with two parents that were lawyers--one a federal judge, and another that was one of the first women at a large Houston firm and the first to own a female-owned law practice in Houston!  Kelly's term will begin on June 1, 2022.
