Kyle was absolutely amazing to the entire process! He made sure that everything ran completely smooth, considering the fact that I currently live in Houston and the case was going on in Dallas, I in fact did not have to go up to Dallas once. Kyle handled everything, and kept me up-to-date on every move. He’s very responsive, and he stays on top of things. He’s definitely a fighter and I’ll get you what you deserve. I recommend Kyle to anybody going through a similar process. Kaleb Robison

Fantastic Criminal Defense and Appeals Attorney
If you are looking for an Attorney, especially in the Collin Country District, Kyle should be your only go to guy. As a professional Texas Country Artist, i have many types of attorneys, Legal Counsel for Civil, Music, Business and even Criminal. My wife happens to be a recovering addict who relapsed after being 4 years sober and caught 4 new charges this past fall (2017) while being on differed probation for 2 prior Felony's. I have a team of attorneys that have worked with me for about 8 years, but because of my wife case being a duel country situation an had already plead to ISF, trying to mend the conditions of her plea along with signing a no contest to appealing, made things difficult for my team. I needed a attorney who worked the Collin Court house daily, and had a high level of defense and appeals. Kyle was the man. I spoke with 11 Collin attorneys to work my wife case, and not one of them felt right compared to Kyle. He was attentive, understanding and had solutions immediately. More so, he walked me through what his responses would be in the court room had the Prosecutors rejected, as if i was in the court room with him on the phone. He went and visited my wife in Dallas County, worked with my Dallas Attorney team, and got things done promptly, even over the holidays. Kyle is skilled in appeals and defense, and the best decision as finding him, conversing with him and then trusting my gut and hiring him. There are a lot of attorneys today, and a lot of them will "sell" you to make their case money. Kyle was accurate, and i had an immediate trust, the way i have with my normal team of 8 years. He quoted a aggressive and fair price and never detoured from that price, like most attorneys i have met, find charges to charge well after the case, he made a flat cost and went to work. I now has a fantastic attorney in my pocket and on my team for any further needs (Hopefully Not), and for anyone that needs exceptional legal representation, and someone who truly is in your corner, and a real bulldog in the court room. Don't spend hours or days searching for attorneys, just call and ask to speak to Kyle. I had my team, but i needed a resource song and intelligent, who could pull something off that usually never can be done, an he did just that in Collin, and allowed my Dallas Team to do what they do best. Once again, do not hesitate or send counties time trying to find the best attorney, Kyle is the guy in Collin County, and there really is no rebuttal to that.

Highly Recommend
I recently worked with Kyle on a personal case and he was nothing but professional from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, stayed in constant communication, and handled everything in a timely manner. I will continue to use Kyle for legal matters going forward and would not hestitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Pleased beyond description
Leaving aside the days and weeks of worry related to the work they did for my son, I rate Klye and the other attorneys of the form as excellent. Understand, this is not a rating a give easily, particularly since I am an out of state lawyer whose son got in trouble in the Dallas area while visiting a friend. Kyle and the other lawyers he works with did everything that needed to be done and brought the case to a successful conclusion. We felt we were kept in the loop by two professionals who maintained an appropriate sense of humor throughout. As a fellow professional, it was a pleasure watching them work together as a team. I would recommend them to anyone and wish them great and continuing success.
