Kelly Osterbind is an attorney and co-founder of Osterbind Law, PLLC. She uses the extensive trial experience she gained as a prosecutor to help injured people in the greater Lynchburg area. In her view, prosecution and injury law are often two sides of the same coin. The skills and abilities that made her an outstanding prosecutor have made her an even better injury lawyer.
Kelly, originally from Cumberland, Maryland, moved to Virginia to attend Liberty University. A history buff with aspirations of teaching, she fell in love with Virginia. Kelly learned that Liberty University was about to open its law school.
Kelly had no interest in selling her soul to a firm—which seemed like the only option for lawyers—but still felt strongly that she belonged in the law. She was right: Kelly thrived in law school, graduating from Liberty University School of Law’s inaugural class in 2007.

In 2017, Brandon and Kelly Osterbind decided to take the plunge, opening Osterbind Law to build a practice that would allow them to focus on their family—now expanded to four children—while providing the best representation possible for injured people.
Although Kelly works remotely most of the time, she is involved in every case that Osterbind Law handles. She and Brandon discuss how they’ll approach each case and what issues they might encounter. She acts as a behind-the-scenes strategist, monitoring case updates and staying on top of new developments.
Kelly is the troubleshooter at Osterbind Law. She deploys her incredible legal knowledge and on-the-ground experience trying cases to anticipate and ward off problems.
Osterbind Law is truly a family firm. Kelly and Brandon have been delighted to find that the back-and-forth case discussions make both of them better in their practice of law.
In addition to the skills earned during her years of trial experience, Kelly has the ability to readily see both the big picture and the tiny details in each case. That helps her put together winning case strategies. She cares deeply about helping injured people recover. And, she has a keen sense of empathy along with a strong belief that there is always hope.
Outside of the firm, Kelly’s first priority is her family: Brandon and their four children. In her “spare” time, she loves reading, particularly books about business. There she constantly finds new sources of inspiration and new ideas to try. She also loves reading books about history.
