Knowledgeable, Reliable, Experienced

I hired Kyle Irvin long distance (1650 miles and sight unseen) to handle a trust for which I was trustee. I was not disappointed. A challenge from one of the beneficiaries made this trust take a turn shortly after it was opened. Kyle was extremely knowledgeable in trusts, and was able to analyze the legal issues involved and express them exceptionally well in both written and oral communications. He was always available by telephone, and was extremely patient answering my questions. When we ended up challenging the lower court's decision to a higher court, I was very impressed with his litigation skills. He displayed a very calm demeanor, yet was extremely fast and credible on his feet.
