Kayleigh R. Walsh

Kayleigh Walsh joined Viola Law Firm as an associate attorney in August 2014. She has practiced family law exclusively for more than a decade. Kayleigh’s practice is driven by her commitment to her clients during what can be an extremely difficult time in their lives. She works with clients to ensure that their needs are met and they feel secure throughout their representation.

Kayleigh draws on her experience to help her clients resolve the difficult personal and financial issues they may face throughout the dissolution process. She frequently works with financial and other experts to ensure that her clients’ interests are protected. She represents a wide variety of Bay Area clients and handles all aspects of family law cases, including high-asset and financially complex issues, spousal support, child support, domestic and international relocations (move-aways), property characterization and division, domestic violence, and child custody and visitation issues.

Kayleigh drafts and negotiates premarital agreements, post-marital agreements, and cohabitation agreements for her clients and litigates those agreements when necessary. Additionally, she has been successful in seeking and obtaining significant attorney fee awards for her clients.

Kayleigh’s primary goal is always to assist her clients in reaching a beneficial settlement. Still, she is highly skilled and effective in contested proceedings in both the public courts throughout the Bay Area and private adjudication when settlement is not possible. Regardless of the situation, Kayleigh continually strives to maintain compassion and dedication. She is aware of the individual challenges of each case and client and creates a plan for the most effective and efficient path to resolution.

While attending Santa Clara University, Kayleigh earned the Certificate of International Law with a focus on international business, human rights, and criminal issues, requiring advanced studies, high-level research and writing, and studying abroad.

Kayleigh has been consistently recognized by her peers and selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars List for Northern California for 9 consecutive years. Kayleigh is also a Certified Family Law Specialist, certified by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization.

When she is not in the office, Kayleigh enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two girls.
