I was recovering from a number of health issues, including breast and uterine cancer, when my husband and I experienced a leaking window after Hurricane Florence. During that repair, we discovered that our brand new retirement home was rotting from the inside out. Some of the plywood inside our wal...ls was rotting, as were some of the beams that supported the structure of our home. Disheartened, we reached out to Kyle Nutt, who was representing a neighbor who had had similar problems with the same builder.
If you have to go through something like this, Kyle Nutt Is your guy. Kyle is a gifted attorney and negotiator. I can’t imagine getting through these last few years without him. From the beginning of what was an exhausting and emotional multi-year process, Kyle has embodied professionalism, calm, reassurance, legal brilliance, energy, and thoroughness. Kyle and his staff made what was surely one of the most difficult times of our lives bearable. To begin, he explained the litigation process in a clear and straightforward way, spelling out our options and making recommendations on how to move forward. This was important, as my husband and I had never been involved in a lawsuit before and were nervous about the process. We spent an entire year working with the forensic structural engineer that Kyle recommended (she was amazing) and our new construction company to find everything we could that was wrong with our home to document and fix it. We were fortunate to be able to begin reconstruction prior to our lawsuit, but the cost was so great that we felt we had no option other than to sue. During that time and over the next year, Kyle helped us collect all relevant documents that we would need to argue our case for reimbursement, including emails, texts, contracts, and so forth. While going through these two years was not fun, Kyle’s sense of humor, ability to explain each step, and efficient process kept us sane. He and his staff lessened the burden as much as they could and guided us through each step. When the time came for depositions, which went on for several months, he knew both of us well enough to give us sound advice and hold our hands through the process. While I am glad that we were able to resolve our case, if that had not happened, we would have had total faith in Kyle to represent us in court and would have been optimistic about achieving a fair final outcome.
Hopefully, this is our first and last lawsuit. While we will never recover those two years of our lives and hope that no one else has to find themselves in this type of situation, if you do, there is no one better to work with than Kyle Nutt. Until Kyle, I viewed attorneys as a necessary evil who were mostly for estate planning. But Kyle has turned my whole view of lawyers around. We give him our highest recommendation and compete vote of confidence.
