Kayla L. Owens, Esquire
Associate Attorney
Kayla Owens graduated from the College of Charleston, where she earned her degree in Political Science and International Studies with a minor in Spanish. While in college, she studied abroad in Spain, learning about the languages, cultures, and diversity. As a result, speaking conversational Spanish comes more easily to her. Throughout high school, college, and later law school, Kayla worked at The Kickin’ Chicken in Charleston as a food runner, server, and bartender. This is where she learned so much about the value of hard work and dedication throughout 12 years at this local establishment. After college, Kayla attended the Charleston School of Law. While in school, she served as a Senator on the Student Bar Association with the Community Service Committee.
She was highly successful and active with the school’s Trial Advocacy Team and graduated from Charleston School of Law magna cum laude. Immediately after graduation, and shortly before passing the South Carolina Bar, Kayla accepted an administrative assistant position with the Honorable Jack A. Landis in the Family Court’s Ninth Judicial Circuit. For fourteen months, she sat directly with Judge Landis assisting in legal research, drafting orders, and being a liaison between attorneys, litigants, and the Court.
When she’s not working on your case, she enjoys playing kickball with a local league, spending time on the water, running, and spending quality time with family here in Charleston, where she grew up. At the Schwartz Law Firm, Kayla has experience with family law, criminal law, including DUI charges, and civil law.
She has had the privilege of working alongside many of the South Carolina Family Court judges before beginning her career at the Schwartz Law Firm, allowing her to better understand the court’s application of the law. She understands that being involved in litigation is stressful, and will take the time to listen to you and understand your case. She will strive in every case for a successful outcome for you and your family.
