Best lawyer around

No job is too big or to small for Joseph Lyles. He upholds his oath to go above and beyond. Whatever it takes... he puts you first and will see that the justice is served on your behalf. I'm every bit pleased in his service. I highly recommend him and his services.

A+ Attorney

Wish all attorneys have the same work ethics as Lyles. I initially hired him to represent me in a Trust matter, and he has gone on to handle another civil matter as well as a car wreck case. He and his staff have gone "above and beyond" to keep me informed, answer my emails and timely respond to all ...questions. Lyles has even met with me on the weekends when I couldn't get off work, to prep for court. He is very knowledgeable about numerous aspects of the law. I recommend him to all of my friends and family!

Divorce

I had not dealt with an attorney my whole life but was stuck in a marriage that was unhealthy for me . A friend I trusted recommended Mr. Lyles and had used him for a Divorce. I only trusted this friend for advice and called Mr. Lyles office. Mr. Lyles took me Immediately and consulted me over the p...hone because I needed someone asap. I started the process and felt very confident with Mr. Lyles from beginning to end. His staff was very respectful when I would call in a PANICK , which was often. Over all I was lost in the legal world completely and felt if I had trusted anyone else my results may not have turned out as well or as fair. I was not out to destroy my husband as most spouses would be but I wanted things to be fair and not to be left with a door handle. Mr.Lyles was almost like a father and I felt safe in his care. Divorce is never a place anyone wants to be but Mr. Lyles helped me get through it and helped me face reality that I had to fight for fairness and really the client has to be the one in the end fighting but with guidence like Mr. Lyles it was much easier to get through.
