Review Kyle Lee

Tenacious and True Representation

Posted by

From the onset of my case to the very end, Mr. Lee listened and provided guidance and gave his honest opinion of the potential outcomes. He always responded timely to inquiries about my case and provided clarification when needed. His "common sense approach" and tenacity made the case move much smoother than anticipated. He was unwavering in his approach and provided the kind of representation that many attorneys should envy.

Best Attorney Ever!

Posted by

My right to FMLA leave was unlawfully blocked by former employer and I was let go under the ‘vail’ of COVID19. I have been an administrative professional for over 20 years and this time I decided I was not going to just accept it walkaway with my head down because Florida is a right to work state and I felt like there was nothing I could do. One night I stayed up to the wee hours of the morning researching employment attorneys online and found Mr. Lee and contacted his office the next day. They scheduled a free in office consult for following week. Having worked as a paralegal in a law office, I can tell you that this was a very unique experience. It was like I was meeting w him in his living room. Both he and his legal assistant both sat and talked with me and listened. He even got on the phone with a colleague to run the case by him as well. After over an hour Mr. Lee confidently said ‘yes - let’s do this!’ and accepted the case. He confirmed that what my former employer did was illegal and he was confident in bringing a suit against them. For the first time in my professional life, I felt validated. Mr. Lee chose to stand up and fight for me and my family and for my rights as a long time dedicated employee. Regardless of the outcome, I will forever be grateful to have him on my side.

Won my Appeal with DEO

Posted by

I was denied Unemployment Benefits from DEO after being unjustly terminated from a 10 year position within my company. After consulting with Mr. Lee, he took my case, confident of a win in which we were indeed successful! Mr. Lee's confidence & professionalism gave me much needed relief during the process. I highly recommend this firm to those that may need fair & skilled representation within Employment Law.

The BEST

Posted by

Almost immediately after meeting with Kyle, I knew I was going to hire him to represent me in my case. He clearly explained the process from start to finish and did not give me false hopes or unrealistic expectations for the resolution of my case. My case was resolved in just under 3 months and I am very satisfied in the resolution of my lawsuit. I would definitely recommend his legal services to anyone needing a Labor/Employment Law attorney.

Awesome Lawyer and Person

Posted by

Called Kyle to help resolve an employment issue that I was having with a previous employer. Not knowing what to do since I had never had an issue like this, he walked me through every step and kept me updated with everything that was going on. He was Super knowledgable about my employment rights and what kind of case I had. I hope I never have to use him again (since I do not want any employment issues) but if I do, I will definitely call Kyle! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
