Kayla Steindorf

Kayla’s practice focuses on families and children, encompassing dissolutions of marriage, custody, parenting plans, protective orders, and adoptions, and the occasional appeal. Kayla strives to meet people where they are and craft individualized solutions for each person and situation. While she encourages and facilitates a collaborative approach, when litigation is necessary, she provides well-researched, prepared, and conscientious representation.

Kayla graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in psychology and a minor in anthropology in 2013. She received her law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2017, earning a Public Interest Law Concentration, a Family Law Concentration, and a Pro Bono Award for service to the community. She was admitted to the Oregon Bar the same year.

During law school, she volunteered for and participated in the Domestic Violence Clinic, representing indigent survivors of domestic violence in family law matters. She also worked as a law clerk at Thorp, Purdy, Jewett, Urness, & Wilkinson, P.C. After graduating from law school, Kayla served as a judicial clerk at the Lane County Circuit Court in Eugene, Oregon. She joined the Reynolds Law Firm in January 2019, and became a partner in January 2025.

Kayla is actively involved in the Corvallis community. She formerly served on the board at the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence and the Wine and Whiskers Committee at Heartland Humane Society. Currently, Kayla serves on the Oregon State Bar Family Law Executive Committee, where she was the conference chair for 2024, Albany Rotary, and the board of Friends of Phillip, a fish and small animal sanctuary.

In her free time, Kayla loves to hike, camp, and spend time with her partner and her three dogs, Summit (chocolate lab), Apex (red husky, blind), and Denali (black husky, vision impaired).
