Every step of the way

Kayla was with me every step of the way during the process of my divorce. Not only was she always on top of every bit of information, keeping track even of what others had overlooked, she went the extra mile to explain confusing aspects of my case and to calm me whenever extenuating situations arose.... I highly recommend her!

She's gets it done!

Kayla constantly kept me in the loop with everything. I never had to wonder what the status was, what to do next, etc. I knew every step of the way exactly what was going on at all times and/or what was required of me. She knows her stuff! I had a 16 year marriage full of emotional abuse and fina...ncial control. I was in the complete dark with the finances. I was a stay-at-home-mom the entire marriage. I didn't even know where to start. She got me what was fair so my 5 children and I could survive and to help me get back on my feet with school. I couldn't have done it without her. A couple of my friends are STILL fighting in their divorces. I started the process long after they started and finalized long before they were even close to being finished (and they still aren't). I filed January 4th and it was finalized September 5th. (8 months and 1 day until the judge signed making the divorce official). It would have gone much faster but the other party dragged their feet with turning in financial documents. This required me to hire an additional financial investigator whom Kayla recommended named Cory Kennedy. He also did an amazing job. Both were worth every penny! We had an 18-hour mediation. I didn't get home until 3am. Kayla (and Cory) pressed on and continued to fight with me the whole time, never suggesting to set up another mediation. Kayla didn't want me to pay for mediation (or Cory's expenses) twice. She is very conscience of not overcharging her clients. Total rock star. I have recommended her to everyone. She's this tiny little thing. You would never guess she's an attorney. She doesn't yell, over-exaggerate, or feed off of her clients emotions. She is calm, collected, mature, professional, and just matter-of-fact. She keeps the situation under control. I am not saying she doesn't have compassion, because she definitely does (she made sure I had plenty of tissues at hand)...she just has this way of calming you down, letting you know it will all be ok, and then you proceed just knowing you are in the hands of someone who truly knows what she is doing. I can't recommend her enough. She's amazing. She was meant to be an attorney hands down. Highly recommend. You won't be sorry!

Amazingly competent, knowledgeable, attentive, and through

Kayla entered my custody case during litigation due to a conflict with my former attorney. I have to admit my case was complicated, involved a divorce and modification from another state, significant conflict between my children and opposing party, and a myriad of other issues. Kayla was honest, dili...gent, feverishly fought for my children and I, always available when I had questions, and genuinely cared about my desires and goals regarding the same. Kayla never sugar-coated possible outcomes and worked in tandem with me as opposed to dictating what I should or need to do. She respected the law, the rules associated with it, and was always kind and respectful to all parties involved even when the same was not reciprocated. I have colleagues that are family law attorneys and I want to say if you have any hesitation regarding hiring Kayla because she is "young", I assure you she was leaps and bounds above many attorneys that have been practicing for decades. Kayla has a drive like no other and believes in the practice of fearlessly fighting for the welfare of children in contentious custody battles. I cannot be more pleased with Kayla's work and I will recommend her above anyone else.

Divorce action

Kayla was very professional and understanding of the situation for my daughter's divorce. She was very thorough and explained everything to us in detail. She made the process of this divorce easier than expected.

Got me through a rough divorce!

I had been separated a year,started mediation with david messlem. It was not going any where! It was a total waste of money and time. I got desperate for help and a friend let me know about Kayla. I couldn't even talk to my soon to be x with out problems! She helped me get through the worst mos...t stressful time of my life! I could email or call her at any time and she would get right back to me. It was a very complicated stressful situation i thought would never end. I can't put into words all the hard work she did for me. From temporary court orders to dealing with ors and ect.... I would recommend her to any one and every one who is going through a divorce! I can say now its finally over because of her!
