In high school, Kiera enjoyed her studies in Literature and History, specifically Legal History. This love for reading encouraged her to pursue Law. Growing up rurally where support is less commonly available, Kiera gained an interest in Mental Health and its impacts, which guided her to the area of family law, and sparked her desire to help the clients who need support.
Kiera has worked in Family Law throughout high school, giving her a structure of knowledge which she has translated into the special quality of service that Barton Family Lawyers provides.
