Kirstie Magyari grew up in Brighton, Michigan, where she then attended Michigan State University, majoring in Human Development and Family Studies, with a focus on pre-medical coursework. Kirstie has clocked an endless number of hours working with children and families and rotating through several areas of the medical field in order to gain insight in the profession. After completing an internship with the Ingham County Circuit Court-Family Division as a Juvenile Court Officer, Kirstie knew she was meant to work in law. 

Kirstie went on to attend Wayne State University Law School, where she was able to continue her drive for helping others in Wayne Law’s Legal Advocacy for People with Cancer Clinic (“LAPC”). In the LAPC, she was able to work in conjunction with Karmanos Cancer Institute to provide legal services to low-income cancer patients. Passionate about the city of Detroit, during her time at LAPC, Kirstie was able to coordinate a multi-disciplinary workshop at Wayne State University aimed at reducing health disparities in the community. 

While at Wayne Law, Kirstie was a Board of Governor’s Scholar (2015-2018), received an Annual Faculty Award for Excellence in Constitutional Law (2015), was elected and entrusted as treasurer of the Wayne Law Student Board of Governors for two consecutive years (2016-2018), and was awarded the Student Voluntary Pro Bono Award (2017). 

Since law school, Kirstie has gained extensive litigation experience in a variety of fields including personal injury, employment law, civil rights, and contract law. She is admitted to practice law in the State of Michigan, the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, and the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan.
