Kim McTorry is a Houston trial attorney dedicated to fairness and justice.

 

Kim was raised to value the importance of hard work, gratitude, and treating people with dignity and respect. She rose from poverty and even briefly experienced homelessness as a child. Kim went on to become the first in her family to attend college. Her life experiences inspire her to live a life of service.

 

During college she worked at Girls Incorporated, a non-profit after school program, started a mentorship program at Western Kentucky University, called Sisters Inspiring Sisters, and participated in Habitat for Humanity home builds. She continued this personal passion for public service by helping homeless communities in her capacity as Facilitator at the Nashville Rescue Mission.

Upon graduating law school Kim was one of ten selected, from over 200 applicants, to work as a prosecutor at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. She accepted this position because she recognized the need for diversity within the criminal justice system and was hopeful about making a positive change towards fair treatment of both victims and the accused.

 

While at the DA’s office, she handled thousands of felony and misdemeanor cases. She served in the Special Crimes Unit as an elite member of the Human Trafficking Division and Sex Crimes Division.
