Straight Up And On It!

Mr. Kyle is a Takecareofbusiness Attorney. He jumped immediately on a pretrial violation that was filed, and saved not only me, but my family alot of pain. It was a medical issue that sparked the violation, and Mr. Kyle didn’t hesitate and was on it, Thank you Mr. Kyle, your professionalism and hustl...e is truly amazing and greatly appreciated.

Very disappointed

I hired Mr. Kyle paid him upfront and to say the least I am very disappointed I praised his work to the judge but once I hired him he seemed to dismiss me altogether stating “I can’t help her if she won’t help herself” again I was in jail I thought that was why I hired him was to help me if a situati...on occurred but I was under the impression of that’s why you hire an attorney to be on your side I do take responsibility for the fact I did have a fta and for that I was arrested and he treated me as if he was my public defender I was made to take the first plea as he didn’t counter anything for the prosecution not to mention I was put on probation and I am being charged a public defender fee how is this even justifiable I did nothing but give him the upmost respect! Also I did have my dates confused on court that’s why I had a fta but he didn’t even ask for at least the end of the day to try to contact me he agreed with immediately sending a warrant for my arrest and never once did he try to contact me I feel I paid Mr.Kyle for a service and he did not honor the service that was to be provided to me and I feel I had insufficient counsel and to be honest if he was appointed to me as a public defender he should have still been for me not against me as he was paid for a service he told me his fee upfront I paid it and received nothing that he stated to me the day in his office when I paid him for a service that he did not provide!

Horrible

This is the worst attorney I've ever had. First he lied to me about my time than didn't get my plea to me on time before court. He said he got me 6 and 9 months. I believed him and signed during court. It turned out he got me 12 and 18 months. He could have got one of the charges dismissed since I wa...s innocent. He didn't do his job at all. I would never hire this attorney.

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.
