"Kayla's significant criminal defense experience as a former deputy public defender is invaluable. She knows how to reassure clients while also being forthcoming and honest with them about the pros and cons of their case because she knows that is only way they can truly make informed decisions. Kayla also has a positive reputation in the legal community and has always been respectful in court and in communications with opposing counsel and the bench. Judges respect Kayla and know she is an extremely hard worker. Lastly, Kayla is a mentor to younger attorneys. When we worked together in the PD's office, she consistently led trainings and created a mentoring program for attorneys new to felony practice. She is familiar with all types of cases and is able to identify the strengths and weaknesses efficiently when prepping a defense. Whether it is a trial case or a case better suited for plea negotiations, Kayla's experience leaves clients in good hands."
