Prompt and Professional

I recently retained Kyle McLeod to assist my daughter who received a criminal charge for driving on a suspended license. I found Kyle to be very responsive and professional. He quickly gathered all of the facts and data to prove that she was in fact driving with a hardship permit. Within a couple of ...weeks he presented his case to the prosecutor and happily the charges were dropped and my college freshman daughter is now clear of a nasty legal distraction.

Awesome Attorney!

Mr. McLeod is an awesome attorney! He was very aggressive in the courtroom. The state had agreed to his proposal and we had to take it before the Judge for approval. In the courtroom, the state tried to recant. Mr. McLeod stayed focused, never missing a beat. He was very sharp, confident and to the p...oint. I highly recommend Mr. McLeod!

Excellent criminal defense lawyer

Kyle helped me out of a very tough situation. I was facing multiple felony charges for possession. I got arrested in a county I was not familiar with, And even though I have no criminal record, The state was trying to prosecute me to the fullest extent that the law would allow. I had no voice in the ...situation. I could get no feedback from the arresting officers, And no one would even take my phone calls. The police in the county I was arrested in seized my vehicle and all of my possessions. After retaining Kyle, The situation quickly got better. Within minutes he had the arresting officer on the phone, and had spoken with the states attorney. Kyle was professional and aggressive in fighting for my rights. He was also very quick in executing All the necessary measures to regain my property. I can honestly say if I had not hired Kyle I would be a convicted felon right now. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer

Mr. McLeod is the attorney for YOU!

My friend had gotten a traffic citation which required a court appearance for an unvalid tag. Two days after receiving the citation he went and got the tag for his truck. We then talked with Mr. McLeod to see if he could help my friend so this would not be on his record. Mr. McLeod was able to do ...so and we are forever greatful! Mr. McLeod is honest, trustworthy, very professional, and takes the time to talk with his clients. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good attorney. He will do everything he can to make sure you are treated the proper way. Don't waste your time and money on someone else .....call Mr. McLeod first!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of working with Kyle while I was a prosecutor with the Third Judicial Circuit State Attorney's Office for 6 years. He was the defense attorney on many criminal cases that I handled and Kyle was always a pleasure to work with. He was professional, ethical, and I could always count on him to move his cases, talk to his clients, and get the job done. If Kyle told me something, he meant it and would always keep his word. That means a lot in this profession. Kyle is a prior prosecutor with the Third Judicial Circuit State Attorneys Office, as I was. He has tried many serious cases and has a ton of criminal law experience. He has also built wonderful working relationships with everyone in the law enforcement and legal community which is also very important. I can always count on Kyle for help or guidance and I consider him one of my closest legal colleagues. I would recommend him for criminal law every day of the week."
