About Wanda
Biography
My passion is helping my clients, period.
Most people seek out an attorney during times of turmoil or change. They need an attorney they can trust who will guide them through the complicated maze of the legal process. That's where I come in. My name is Kayla Schoen and I'm originally from beautiful Fairhope, Alabama. I began my career in medical sales, but soon realized I needed more one-on-one interaction with people in a field where I could both challenge myself, and help others. Becoming a lawyer has done exactly that for me.
During law school, I served under the Honorable Judge Alan King and the Honorable Judge Sherri Friday in the Jefferson County Probate Court. I also spent two years at a Birmingham-area law firm focusing on personal injury litigation. After graduating from Cumberland School of Law, I accepted a one-year term as a Judicial Clerk for the Honorable Judge Jim Hughey, III in Jefferson County Circuit Civil Court. Following my clerkship, I worked in the area of corporate defense, focusing on securities litigation.
I also take great pride in serving the Birmingham community by volunteering regularly with the Birmingham Bar Volunteer Lawyer's Program, both at the District Court Help Desk and the Domestic Relations Help Desk. I am an active member of both the Alabama State Bar Association, the Birmingham Bar Association, the Birmingham Inn of Courts and the Hoover Chamber of Commerce. I'm so glad you've come to visit my page and I look forward to working with you to resolve any legal issues you may be facing now, or in the future.

Best Around!!
I retained Kayla for an employment contract matter and was very happy with her services! I would not hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to others. She made the entire process incredibly easy, and I have a peace of mind after leaving my job that I otherwise would not have had.
