Prior to entering private practice, Kyle served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps from 1984 to 1989, in West Germany (see photo).
Kyle and his wife, Gretchen, have been married since 1981, and have three daughters. He serves on the Board of Elders at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

Clear, helpful, and more than fair
Kyle Krull of Harvest Law KC was VERY helpful to us in a recent consultation about POA's and a will. He was a clear communicator in translating complex legal concepts to us.

Incredible estate planning attorney!
We used Kyle Krull to set up a trust for our family and hands down, he is the most incredible attorney we have worked with! He was kind, patient, thoughtful and understanding. He also made the process enjoyable for us! We so look forward to working with him again in future.

Our highest rating
Mr. Krull certainly has all the qualities you expect to find in an exceptional attorney -- preeminent skillset, decades of experience, professionalism, patience and the ability to explain difficult legal concepts into everyday language.

Easy to work with and knowledgeable
Kyle first wrote my will and my mom's will in 1997, and soon after, he wrote our trusts. The process was "easy-peasy" and Kyle answered all of our questions in understandable terms. He kept in touch over the years to remind me to make sure nothing had changed. Now, in 2026, I needed to change some of...

Kyle's ability to eliminate the unimportant and focus on critical family issues showed me how powerful an excellent communicator can be in the estate planning process. I highly recommend and endorse Kyle Krull for all estate planning in Overland Park, Kansas and the greater Kansas City area. I endorse this lawyer."

Kyle has a natural ability to listen and draw out the best in those around him. I can recommend Kyle without reservation to anyone seeking competent and caring estate planning advice and counsel."
"Kyle knows his stuff!"
"I recently attended a seminar related to estate planing where Kyle was one of the presenters. I also had to opportunity to get to know him personally. Kyle has thoughfully considered every aspect of estate planning and how best to help design estate plans for his clients. He skillfully describes complex estate planning issues and makes them seem simple. Any family that works with Kyle to design an estate plan will leave his office knowing that they have planned for every issue that is important to their family and no detail has been overlooked."
"As a fellow attorney who practices estate planning in another state, I endorse Kyle Krull. I have known Kyle Krull for several years and would not recommend any other estate planning attorney in the Overland Park, KS area. He is simply the best. Kyle is highly educated and gifted in the area of Estate Planning and truly cares about his clients and their needs. Kyle is extremely professional and has a high degree of integrity in the community."
"Mr. Krull is not only a very good lawyer, but he is very generous in helping other lawyers in the community. He is really one of the go to lawyers when I have a question about something i am unfamiliar with."
"I have known Kyle since 2005. He is helpful to colleagues and maintains the highest ethical standards. He approaches his clients in a very caring and understanding way, which is especially important in estate planning where difficult issues and decisions are considered.

For all these reasons and more, I endorse Kyle Krull without reservation."

"Without question, I endorse this lawyer. I have known Kyle both personally, as well as professionally. I also focus my practice on creating Wills and Trusts for individuals in Overland Park, Kansas. Now one might perceive us to be area “competitors” in representing clients. However, I cannot say enough not only is Kyle a “top notch” attorney, but also one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated attorneys I have encountered over the many years I have practiced law. In effect, if I have a legal question which has arisen with my own client, I without hesitation seek Kyle’s guidance and great legal wisdom in handling the issue. Furthermore, without vacillation, Kyle always provides excellent and accurate advice."
"Kyle and I worked together at a recent estate planning conference. I found him to be knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with."
"Kyle enjoys a superb reputation among other estate planning attorneys for the quality of the services he provides his clients. He really "listens" to his clients, and thereby provides them with the estate plan that they actually need -- a rare gift. I would not hesitate to recommend Kyle as the go-to estate planning attorney in Overland Park and Kansas City."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Kyle for many years and do not hesitate referring clients to him for estate planning - he is simply the best!"
"I endorse this lawyer. For estate planning and property protection, Kyle is my first and only choice for referrals. It is all he does."
"I have known Kyle Krull for over 15 years and have found him to be very knowledgeable, forthright in his opinions, and always demonstrating a keen insight into what clients are really searching for. I look to his law practice as a model that I should strive to achieve every day. I whole heartedly endorse Kyle to any potential client or fellow attorney."
