“It’s my job to, at the very least, point the client in the right direction. I’m here to help the client work through the situation so we can figure out where their next step is going to be.”
Kelli Robinson is the legal receptionist at Akbar Thomas Law Firm, serving as the initial point of contact for clients and ensuring they feel supported from their very first call. She is a loving and encouraging mother who always pushes her children to do their best, reminding them that no challenge is too great when faced together. She finds joy in hiking the scenic trails of Lafayette Heritage Park, capturing special moments through photography, and spending quiet evenings at home with her husband and children. Guided by the values instilled in her by her uncle and former boss, Mr. Lumpkin, she embraces perseverance and hard work in everything she does. Kelli’s motto, “Have a great day on purpose,” is a daily reminder to take on life with positivity and intention.
Q&A with Kelli
Kelli expresses that the most rewarding part comes when she hears the heartfelt “thank you” from clients, affirming that her empathetic approach truly matters. Each note of gratitude reinforces her commitment to offering both practical guidance and genuine emotional support to those in need.
“That’s the most rewarding part. At the end of the day, the goal is to help someone out.”
Kelli would trade places with Attorney Akbar specifically on trial day. She finds the courtroom dynamic—with its mix of personalities and storytelling—truly captivating, much like a live cinematic experience, as she describes it to be.
Aside from work, Kelli has a deep passion for photography, a creative pursuit she has enjoyed for over ten years simply for the love of capturing moments. While she also enjoys hiking, photography remains her most fulfilling and expressive outlet, allowing her to document family events and the beauty of everyday life through her lens.
“What I really appreciate about being here is that both Attorney Akbar and Attorney Thomas are really big on family. If I need to be there for my kids or my husband, I’m always encouraged to go do what I need to do. We’re all very family oriented.”
