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!

Mr Epps is the best

Mr Epps and his team were amazing to work with and they did everything I could ask and more. Mr Epps told me he had my back and let him take care anything that was apart of the process. I was facing a dui and it got reduced to a reckless driving in Forsyth County. If I had any concerns or questions ...about the case, Kyle gave me his personal number. Or I could call the office, Elicia was also super helpful and guided me through many questions multiple times. Kyle knows his stuff and I know I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to represent me. I learned a lot of lessons and have made the changes I needed to for my life from all of this. If it wasn’t for Kyle Epps I could be facing way worse outcomes. I’m forever grateful and blessed to come across his ad. I’m a 100% believer of Kyle Epps and his law practice. Definitely consider him if you want the best outcome for your case. Thank you Mr Epps

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
