Kyla Barraza

Senior Paralegal I

For Kyla Barraza, legal advocacy isn’t an abstract concept; it is about giving people the clarity and control they need to navigate life’s most pivotal transitions. Having built her own career and financial independence from the ground up, Kyla turned her lived experience into a lifelong commitment to helping others do the same. A South Denver native with over five years managing complex family law, criminal defense, and probate dockets, she brings a rare blend of real-world empathy and sharp procedural discipline to Jones Law Firm.

As a Senior Paralegal, Kyla acts as the vital link between clients and attorneys, running the operational engine behind high-stakes litigation. She handles the heavy lifting of case management, from mastering complex financial discovery and preparing court filings to keeping every deadline on track. But her real strength lies in how she talks to people. Understanding the panic and financial anxiety that often come with major life shifts, Kyla serves as a calm, steady presence. She listens without judgment, breaks down confusing court requirements into plain language, and helps clients replace anxiety with a clear, step-by-step plan.

Whether she is untangling discovery documents or reassuring a client through a high-stress moment, Kyla’s focus never wavers: helping people navigate the legal system with confidence, protect their children, and see the bright future waiting on the other side.

What you may not know: Kyla is a former Junior Olympian and bronze medalist in boxing. Outside the firm, she is a devoted mother, a licensed notary, and a dedicated Denver Broncos fan. Her home is also shared by two wildly contrasting dogs: a gentle-giant Great Dane named Petra and a Chihuahua named Sir William.
