Kelsey Kent, Attorney
Kelsey is our resident law clerk at the Law Office of George B. Morton, PA.
After growing up in Joplin and receiving her undergrad from the University of Georgia, we are thrilled that Kelsey found her way to Northwest Arkansas.
The appeal was natural, the short distance from home and the beautiful surroundings drew Kelsey to the U of A Law School. To seek out a law clerk, the Law Office of George B. Morton, PA teamed up with the University of Arkansas Law School, and Kelsey was clearly the perfect fit.
During her time here she’s learned just how interesting civil and employment law can be. After her final three semesters in law school, Kelsey is interested in practicing civil and criminal law.
