Heather Kelly
- (888) 987-0005
Heather J. Kelly obtained her law degree from the George Washington University School of Law, where she discovered her passion for the courtroom in national competitions as a member of the GWU Law Trial Court Board.
After having the honor of serving in Washington DC as an Assistant United States Attorney, Heather returned to private practice where she spent many years in representing physicians in complex medical malpractice cases. In 2018, though, she realized her true calling was serving patients who had been harmed by the health care providers they trusted.
Heather joined the Miller Weisbrod Olesky team in January 2024 and brought more than 25 years of experience trying cases before juries, along with her commitment to seeking justice for injured patients.
Since 2019, Heather has taught the Medical Liability course to upper-level law students at American University, Washington College of Law, and she continues to mentor her past students. She looks forward to becoming admitted to the Texas bar and is admitted to the practice before the courts of the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
Heather is also an active member of the American Association for Justice, DC Trial Lawyers Association, Maryland Association for Justice, and Virginia Trial Lawyers Association. She was honored with the 2023 NAACP Presidents Award for the countless hours of volunteer service as Chair of the Arlington Virginia Branch of the NAACP Criminal Justice Committee.
She has achieved countless successful jury verdicts and settlements for her clients throughout her time as a trial lawyer. Heather's connection to her clients runs so deep, she continues to be in contact with many of them, even decades after their cases have resolved.
In her spare time, you might find Heather volunteering at the SPCA of Texas, walking her own small crew of rescue pups, enjoying a Texas Rangers game (though she misses her Washington Nationals), or spending time with her family and friends.

Michael Orth
Attorney
Michael Orth
- (888) 987-0005
Michael is a board certified personal injury trial lawyer who has spent the last decade representing injured Texans and their families. Born and raised in Dallas, Michael attended Texas A&M University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. Following graduation, Michael worked in sales for one of the largest trucking companies in the United States. While working in the trucking industry, Michael saw the dangers that can and do occur when companies put profits before safety, and safety is not provided its proper place at the table. It was at this point Michael decided to pursue a career in law to help those harmed by the negligence of others.
Michael attended the University of Houston Law Center, where he served as a Senior Articles Editor for the Houston Journal of International Law. Throughout law school, Michael clerked at one of the 5 law firms that represented the State of Texas against Big Tobacco, where he worked on cases ranging from catastrophic crane collapses, to sexual abuse cases to environmental class action lawsuits. Most importantly, Michael learned the law could be used to do a lot of good in peoples’ lives, and could help those who had been injured because of the carelessness of others.
After obtaining his law license, Michael moved to South Padre Island and practiced personal injury law in the Rio Grande Valley. While practicing in South Texas, Michael tried nearly 20 cases in federal and state courtrooms across South Texas, consistently obtaining verdicts significantly higher than the insurance companies’ offers. As a result of his success in the courtroom, Michael is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a designation earned by practicing personal injury law almost exclusively, showing substantial success and experience trying personal injury lawsuits, completing extensive Continuing Legal Education in personal injury trial law, and passing a rigorous written exam demonstrating superior competence in handling personal injury cases.
Michael is married to Katlyn and has 2 young daughters, Kathleen and Mary Louise. Michael volunteers for the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program, providing pro bono legal services to others in the community.
