Absolute Goat

Attorney Epps and his Paralegal Elicia were both extremely responsive and friendly throughout my entire legal process. The team is more than capable when it comes to legal representation. My traffic case had additional immigration complexities that Attorney Epps gracefully dealt with. Because of ...his work, I was able to resolve my case and leave the US in a way that did not ruin my legal standing with the federal government; for that I will be forever grateful. I plan to never be in this situation again. However, if I ever am, I would 100% go back to Attorney Epps and his team. They will fight for you and I feel confident that they'll get you the best deal your circumstances allow for.

BEST DEFENSE LAWYER IN FORSYTH - CHARGES DISMISSED

NO OTHER ATTORNEY IN FORSYTH COMPARES TO MR. EPPS! Attorney Epps is the best lawyer I have experienced. I had not been in trouble with the law before, and was nervous to say the least. Mr. Epps addressed my concerns with empathy and compassion. He is fair and just. Working with him was an absolute... pleasure, which is ironic because I needed him a difficult time. Elicia Davis and his office staff are kind, caring, and prompt with communication. Attorney Epps did what he said he could do, which was clear my name. I consulted so many attorneys and with one consultation knew that Mr. Epps would be the person that I would hire. It must be noted that even during the holidays, under strict time constraints, Mr. Epps and Elicia worked hard to clear my name and save my career. If ever I need an attorney again, I WILL use Mr. Epps. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor, hire Mr. Epps and his team! You will NOT regret it. As others have said, Forsyth is very rigid. If ever you find yourself needing a defense attorney.. HIRE MR. EPPS!

Professional yet personable.

Mr. Epps is extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the court system, laws, drug court etc. It shows in his professionalism as well as in his level of experience and expertise. It's obvious and evident with how he presents himself in the courtroom and with negotiations, that he is respected within ...the court system as well and that goes a long way. Mr. Epps worked diligently on my son's case which was complex and not an easy task because there were multiple counties and different departments involved from the police department to drug court to probation. Mr. Epps was determined to achieve a positive outcome and the result was better than we expected. Elica Davis which works with Mr. Epps was a God send, She helped me to understand how the case was progressing and communicated with me regularly, answering the many questions and concerns I had. I highly recommend them to anyone that is facing a difficult legal situation and desires someone that will be aggressive in achieving a positive outcome.

Kyle E Epps III Attorney someone who is committed and gives 110%

Mr. Epps was referred to me by another attorney who was going to represent my son, but the other attorney was out of state at the time. It was a Sunday morning and Mr. Epps answered the phone afforded me an hour phone conversation and I was sold with his knowledge, appreciation of my situation, emoti...on and sincerity. I never looked back, went with my gut instincts and had the best representation by far. I was not an easy client's (dad) for my son, but Mr. Epps never lost sight of the complexity on the legality of the case. Me and my family are very thankful for Mr. Kyle Edward Epps III and would highly recommend his services.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
