Excellent Results!

I hired Kyle for a misdemeanor charge of "Interference with Custody". He and his staff thoroughly explained the process to me and were quick to address additional questions. Kyle had the case dismissed in a matter of weeks. I was very impressed with his professionalism and quick results. I would high...ly recommend Kyle to anyone for criminal or civil matters. He will be my go to Attorney, if the need every arises again!

Great experience

I hired Mr. Epps and he was nothing short of amazing! He studied my case in depth and developed a plan to prepare me for trial that was flawless. His history with Forsyth county combined with his unparalleled expertise made my trial go over smooth and effortlessly. He gave me his personal cell numbe...r so that I would have direct contact with him for anything pertaining to my trial and took personal time out his day to elevate any anxieties I had about my case. Mr. Epps not only walked me through what to expect on my court date but gave me certain tasks to complete before my trial to get me the best possible outcome. I couldn't be happier with my deal. This guy knows his stuff, he knows Forsyth county, and If you need legal council in Forsyth you will be better off with him on your side. Thanks a lot Mr. Epps

Experience makes all the difference!

We chose Kyle to help us negotiate the legal process regarding a super speeder ticket and reckless driving charge for our 16 year old. Due to his vast experience as a deputy, a prosecutor, a judge pro temp in juvenile court and a specialist in the juvenile court arena we were able to stay calm and c...onfident through the process. Kyle knew exactly what to do to achieve the best outcome while being sure our son was "learning his lesson" along the way. He is a "straight talk" kind of guy who is very effective with teens. His is extremely effective in the courtroom because he understands every other person in the room (he has served in their role) and their desired outcomes - this gives him a great advantage when negotiating for his clients. Additionally, Kyle knew ALL of the requirements that the Judge and Prosecutor would expect. Thanks to his direction, our son was able to complete all of the classes and community service before the court date arrived and based on his commitment and hard work, Kyle made a strong and compelling case for a minimal suspension of his license. He is a man of character and integrity-- he will do what he says and keep you informed along the way. Kyle was the perfect attorney for our family and we would highly recommend him.

Highly recommended

Kyle and his team recently helped me to modify my separation agreement. He carefully explained all outcomes and prepared me for both best and worst-case scenarios. Before my case was resolved, I had to relocate to another state, yet felt comfortable and at ease knowing that I was in good hands. Kyle'...s efforts and expertise resulted in a positive outcome. I would highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to using his services in the future.

Going through a divorce? Hire Kyle Epps immediately

When I was faced with a complex divorce case (custody of two young children, an ongoing affair and tangled assets), I knew I needed a lawyer that could help me navigate the legal system in a way that would bring a speedy resolution while causing minimum trauma for my children. I was referred to Kyle ...and found that his expertise is not the kind that can be taught in law school. It's the kind that only comes from his years as a juvenile court judge, police officer, father and successful trial lawyer. Only this combination of know-how earns him the true title of "counselor" as he provided me with advice that was a mix of legal smarts and emotional support. Kyle doesn't tell you what you want to hear - he tells you what you need to hear. He walks you through the options, the steps, and the realities so that you can make the best decisions for yourself (and in my case, my kids). I'm sure that if I had gone with a different lawyer - my outcome (and the outcome for my kids) would have been very different. Thank you Kyle!

Thank you very much. I always like to hear that a client is very happy with the work I was able to do for them. Even better is when they notice the operations that I undertake on their behalf.
