Shayla Chavez

With a longtime passion for public service and interest in the practice of law, Shayla began pursuing a legal career at a young age in hopes of bringing meaningful change to the lives of Southern Californian residents as an attorney.

Shayla grew up in Orange County, California prior to enrolling in Grand Canyon University’s pre-law program in Phoenix, AZ. Upon completion, she graduated Magna Cum Laude and received her Bachelor's degree in Political Science. Returning to California to study law thereafter, she then earned her Juris Doctor degree at Pepperdine’s School of Law in 2021 and was admitted to the California State Bar in 2023.

Since becoming a licensed attorney, Shayla has worked extensively as a civil litigator, thus far specializing in real estate disputes, probate/trust administration and litigation, and estate planning. She has since narrowed her practice to focus exclusively on estate planning for families throughout California, as well as any related real estate, probate, or Medi-Cal issues that may arise.

In her downtime, Shayla enjoys playing acoustic guitar, researching current environmental affairs, and spending time with her family and friends.
