Born in a refugee camp in Manila, Philippines and brought to the United States by Vietnamese immigrants, Kylie Loya learned early the value of perseverance and opportunity. English was her second language, but determination quickly became her first. That same drive has defined her career and fuels her commitment to standing up for those who need a strong advocate on their side.
Raised in Houston, Kylie graduated in the top 2% of her class earning her the highest merit-based scholarship to attend Baylor University where she received her bachelor’s degree in Political Science. After representing herself in a legal proceeding at just 18 years old, Kylie discovered her calling to pursue a career in law. She went on to earn her Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston, where she sharpened her skills through advocacy competitions and negotiation training, and gained experience at a personal injury practice, employment law firm, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.
Before founding The Loya Law Firm, Kylie spent more than 12 years as in-house counsel for METRO, the major public transit authority in Houston and surrounding areas. Her experience navigating defense strategies, government regulations, negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts, and holding entities accountable now serves her clients in a new way— by helping individuals take on powerful corporations and insurance companies in personal injury cases.
Today, Kylie channels her background representing transportation companies into fighting for individuals and families whose lives have been upended by serious injuries. She believes every client deserves not just a lawyer, but a true advocate— someone who will stand up to powerful interests and demand justice on their behalf.
A proud Houstonian and devoted mother of two, Kylie brings compassion, precision, and relentless dedication to her practice. At Loya Law, she combines her deep understanding of institutional systems with a personal mission to protect people, not organizations.
