McKayla Barnette

McKayla Barnette is a Legal Assistant with our firm, working primarily alongside attorney Christan Moody. She has been with the firm since our opening and leads our Pittsburgh office. McKayla brings a diverse professional background in oil and gas abstracting, residential title work, and hospitality. Her experience has given her a strong foundation for assisting with complex financial and asset-related matters in family law cases. Combined with her hospitality background, she approaches her work with both attention to detail and a client-focused mindset, allowing her to support clients with professionalism and compassion throughout the legal process. McKayla is also a certified Notary Public for our Pittsburgh office. She works closely with clients and attorneys on case organization, document preparation, and day-to-day case support, helping ensure matters move forward efficiently during what can often be a stressful and emotional time for families.

Outside of work, McKayla enjoys volunteering with local cat rescues and participating in neighborhood TNR efforts. She also enjoys spending time outdoors exploring Pittsburgh’s three rivers through kayaking, hiking, and biking. When the parking chairs come out, she can usually be found climbing at ASCEND Pittsburgh.
