You're in Good Hands with theTate Firm

Mr. Tate goes the extra mile to help his clients. kyle always listens to every detail before making any suggestions on how to help his clients. I have very impressed with the amount of time and effort he and his firm put into researching and preparing for a case. I would highly recommend Mr. Tate and... I feel truly blessed by having him as my attorney.

Thanking Kyle Tate and his firm for their representation

To: Kyle Tate Subject: Update on David Anderson Case (From Alan) Kyle, I wanted to thank you and your staff for the work you did for me in 2008 on the David Anderson Case. Using the evidence from the civil complaint, the State Attorney's Office in Palatka filed criminal charges against Ande...rson, which resulted in his agreement to plead "no contest" on charges of Operating an Organized Scheme to Defraud. Anderson will receive probation provided that he pays most of the civil judgment, on which he made the first installment on paying back to me yesterday. Two other people whom Anderson defrauded were at the sentencing, and many others are aware that Anderson pleaded "no contest" to the criminal charges. These people are grateful, as I am, that Anderson did not escape the consequences of defrauding his customers (besides myself there were eight other customers who were similarly defrauded). Most importantly, Anderson has been prohibited from using his business to harm any other potential customers in the future. As a result of this experience, I have learned much about the way civil and criminal law works. I respect the good work that you and others in the legal profession do every day. Our society is held together by the idea that all of will receive a fair hearing under the law, and people such as you and your staff enable that to happen. Thank you again for the good work by yourself and your staff. I am sure many residents of our area have benefited from representation by your firm, as I have. Alan Melrose, FL

"Seeking Justice" Isaiah 1:17a

In the title heading listed above, we claimed this verse After the wrongful death of our 23 year old beautiful daughter Emily. My wife and I were faced with the decision to obtain legal counsel due to facts concerning her death. A dear friend of ours recommend the Tate Firm. We were both under a g...reat deal of pain, anger and just not knowing what to do. What a blessing the firm was to us as we went through many legal hearings and findings. In every aspect we were informed of the positive and negative things that came up. During this process my wife and I were given peace of where this should all go. In the Bible, God's Holy Word, Jesus Christ gave three things about when an offense has happened of how and what should happen. The Tate Firm helped us obtain these things. Number one: In Matthew, Christ states if someone offends you to go to that person. This was a huge problem because of a death everyone involved wanted to point the finger at someone else. But we were able to achieve this. Number two: In Matthew, Christ states to settle the matter quickly. This was a major issue as well as everyone was still pointing the finger at someone else. We were also able to achieve this. Number three: Finally in Matthew, Christ states to be peace makers, my wife and I had to make the biggest decision of whether to continue to live with hatred and anger or to be a peace maker. We chose to be a peace maker and to move on. This has been extremely hard but we are coming up out of the ashes and God is doing a wonderful thing in our lives. We know we will see our daughter again in heaven and we long for that day. We have moved forward and allowed God to do His will through this. The people that caused our daughter's death will have to answer to Him someday, and He will not be wearing a black robe in a courtroom. It will be true justice, fair and honest. We have never used a lawyer before, so we could never compare the Tate Firm with any other, but for what has transpired in our lives we count it a blessing to have been helped in our time of need by such a professional caring group of people, the attorneys, office staff and most of all Mr Tate himself. Sincerely, Grieving Parents

"During my years of practice there are but a few lawyers I've encountered that possess the spirit for the fight and the tenacity to work the long hours and do the hard work that it takes to win contested cases. No other lawyer has demonstrated these skills to me better than Kyle Tate. If you need a lawyer that will fight the case then you would be hard pressed to find one more able than Kyle Tate."

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 29

Relationship: Co-worker

"Kyle Tate is an attorney with a deep knowledge and understanding of the law. When he argues in court, it's not just because he believes he's right, it's because he knows he's right. He has the relevant law to back himself up. Judges listen to him because they're compelled by his grasp of the law. A hallmark of a great attorney is the faith that their arena is not the four walls of a courtroom presided over by a judge, but the four corners of the Constitution. That's Kyle Tate."

Litigation lawyer | Nov 29

Relationship: Co-worker

"Skilled trial lawyers get good results for their clients when their opposition is convinced they are not afraid to try the case. Kyle is one of those lawyers. While many who call themselves 'litigators' spend time and money in pre-trial discovery, most do not do so with the idea of going to trial, but rather settling at some point before trial. On the other hand, Kyle's philosophy is to approach pretrial discovery with the goal of marshaling the facts needed to tell the client's story and serve as the the truth-giver. While not every case ends in trial, I have observed this philosophy serves his clients well because the opposition frequently is not prepared to face a lawyer willing to do the things Kyle will do to achieve the best result. Anyone can say they are "aggressive" to market their legal services; in reality there are very few lawyers, like Kyle, who are willing to put in the work required to try a case and who have courage to risk everything when the stakes are high."
