About Kyle

If you have been seriously injured by the fault of another person, allow us to be your voice!

My name is Kyle Sherman and I am a fighter!I have been practicing law since 1996, specializing in Personal Injury work since 1998.  Immediately after graduating from the Louisiana State University Law Center, I had the honor of working for the nationally renowned criminal defense attorney, Roy Black in Miami, Florida.

Shortly after returning to Louisiana, I began working for Charles Brandt, a very well respected Civil Trial Lawyer in Lafayette, Louisiana.  We eventually formed the partnership of Brandt and Sherman, LLP, where we represent the injured.

Recently, I graduated from the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College , concentrating on skill development for Jury Trials.  I was voted the class representative out of 54 students, which included mass tort litigators, capital offense defenders and a Trial Lawyer of the Year.  It was a great honor to be recognized among such a group of talented trial lawyers and wonderful people.

When I am not practicing law, I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and train under UFC veteran, Tim Credeur.  My martial arts training compliments my trial skills, in that it sharpens my mind and ability to focus my energy in a positive way against my opponents in and out of the courtroom.  I also enjoy raising and training horses with my wife, artist Catherine Boley.

      Attorney with a Heart - the best of the best!!!!!

      Posted by

      I have the pleasure not only to call Kyle my Attorney but also my Friend- the Guy who took control of a situation that I was unable to handle . When I needed him all I did was asked. He asked no questions just took the reins and handle every thing for me keeping my best interest at heart. I say this with all my heart- you will never find a better attorney/ friend to represent you or your family who will do the best job you could ever imagine !!! A person who understands your situation and will do the best of his ability to represent YOU every step of the way- I will never forget the job he has done for me and continues to do as of today.

      Compassion meets professionalism

      Kyle's heart is as big as his will to win cases. It's hard these days to find a good lawyer with an attention to matters of the heart. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone needing representation.

      After numerous months of attempting to resolve my issue on my own, I secured the services of Mr. Kyle Sherman. It only took one contact by him to resolve my issue with no nasty after effects. I don't recommend anyone trying to seek justice alone, but not just any attorney will do. Kyle Sherman has the professionalism and integrity necessary for justice to prevail!

      Lafayette's Best Lawyer

      Posted by

      After my car accident in August 2013, I was overwhelmed with a totaled vehicle and growing health concerns. Kyle was there for me to guide me through the rough times. Kyle was available to answer questions and kept me up-to-date with my case. He was very helpful, supportive, knowledge and professional in handling my case. I can't say enough about his concern, advice and expertise. He was very personable and easy to talk to and kept the legal jargon in easy to understand terms. I was quite pleased with the final settlement. If ever I need a lawyer again, I would definitely return to see Kyle for any further representation.

      Best lawyer I've ever met.

      Kyle helped me out on a matter that seemed completely impossible. He saved my husband and I tons of money on the particular matter. He's extremely passionate in his work, making sure his clients are 100% satisfied. I will definitely call him again if I ever need an attorney. Kyle saved us, and I trust him with any matter he's capable of addressing. Totally restored my faith in the justice system.

He was Very professional and became a Great Friend. I still use his professional services. Kyle will work every day for you, way after business hours. I got phone calls from him after 6:00pm on several occasions. Therefore, that there, assured me he was working extremely long and hard hours for me. Thanks and Friends forever, David

      My Review on Kyle Sherman

      Posted by

      Kyle takes a personal interest in his clients. A very friendly guy out side the office but completely professional when it's time to go to work. His knowledge on law is second to none & he uses that knowledge to get results. I met Kyle through a work related injury case and he has continued to help me through the years with advice & council. I now consider him a friend.

      I met Kyle in 2011 at the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. Kyle is an amazing attorney and all around great guy. He cares deeply about the people he represents and will fight with everything he has to win your case. He is also extremely talented on a horse and at Ju Jitsu.

      I know Kyle from having been at skills seminars with him. Kyle Sherman is a trial lawyer that I look up to. His talent for being a fighter is natural. But, more importantly, Kyle does not rest on his talent. Rather, he works diligently at the skills that make the difference in close cases. The arena where personal injury clients must prevail is a tough ring. Which is why Kyle hones his skills day in and day out. Whenever I hear of anyone that needs a trial lawyer in Louisiana, I don't refer them to an attorney, I give them the name of Kyle Sherman. He is a trial lawyer. A lawyer that fights for his people.

      I cannot think of a more passionate attorney than Kyle Sherman. I would recommend his services to anyone.

      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Kyle Sherman is dedicated to his clients in a way that far exceeds most average attorneys. Kyle is always searching for ways to better himself as a lawyer and as a human being. This sets him apart in the legal field because he is not content with being average. He is an aggressive trial attorney and he is passionate about his clients and the justice they deserve. I met Kyle at an advanced trial training college where I had a chance to see how dedicated Kyle is to his clients and the energy he puts forth to help them recover from horrible loss. You have one of the hardest working attorneys In the country when you select Kyle as your attorney and I endorse him.

      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Kyle is a talented lawyer with the skills and knowledge inside a courtroom to protect you and your family from large insurance giants. Kyle may be one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. It is my belief that Kyle’s compassion comes across to the jury in a real and true manner. Kyle is one of about a thousand lawyers nationwide to graduate from Gerry Spence’s trial lawyer’s college. I highly recommend him.

      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Kyle Sherman is one of the most well rounded, down to earth, and highly skilled trial attorneys that I have ever met. He pours his brilliant legal mind, heart and soul into every case. Kyle will not back down to the insurance companies but will instead rise up and meet them head to head. He represents his clients as if they were his family and knows what it takes to get results. I highly endorse Kyle Sherman without hesitation!

      Kyle Sherman is as tough as nails. He has as much heart and grit as any lawyer I know. I worked with him preparing one of his cases for trial. His dedication to his client's cause was powerful. I also had the pleasure of seeing Kyle give an opening argument in another case. It was one of the best I have ever seen.

      Kyle Sherman is a lawyer whose accomplishments in and out of law bespeak a commitment to excellence. Kyle was elected Class Representative from our class at the prestigious and exclusive Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers' College. He is an accomplished martial artist, which speaks volumes about his precision and discipline; yet he is a model of courtesy and congeniality. I would be honored to associate with Kyle in any matter.

      Kyle Sherman is one of the most dedicated, talented attorneys I have ever worked with. I worked with Kyle in a case involving a parent who was killed in a car collision because of the carelessness of another driver. Kyle sees the issues and gets results for his clients. He is also one of the most caring attorneys you can find. He is a fighter for his clients and they rightfully put their trust in Kyle. I highly recommend Kyle.
