About Kyle
Biography
Kyle Therrian is a D Magazine Best Under 40 in his profession. He is also the former president of the McKinney Bar Association, the Secretary/Treasurer of Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Legal Education Institute, and formerly represented the Collin County criminal defense bar as a member of the Collin County Bail Bond Board. The National Trial Lawyers Association has named Kyle as a “Top 40 under 40” in his practice in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Kyle focuses his practice on representing individuals in both pending criminal cases and in criminal appeals. This is a dual-threat approach to criminal law. As an attorney who handles criminal appeals, Kyle has a reputation in the trial courts as an attorney who will take his cases to the next level when necessary. This provides value to clients with pending criminal matters who are hoping to convince a prosecutor for a favorable outcome or persuade a judge that their rights were violated.
As a criminal attorney, Kyle combines aggressiveness and experience as a trial attorney with the finesse and savvy of an advocate to address the unique concerns of each individual client. Being well-prepared and remaining several steps ahead is his motto as well as what his client’s expect.
When Kyle is not practicing law he volunteers as a Teen Court Judge and is a member of the Collin County Bail Bond Board. Kyle also contributes to the “Voice for the Defense” magazine published by the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association.
Kyle Therrian attended law school at the University of Oklahoma where he was recognized as one of the top oral advocates in his class and inducted into the Order of Solicitors. While attending law school, he focused his legal education on the practice of Criminal and Constitutional Law. Kyle was the named the Captain of the OU’s prestigious White Collar Crime Mock Trial Team, and was invited to compete in the Black Law Student Association’s regional mock trial competition where he received the honor of “Best Advocate.”
Outside of the firm Kyle manages and plays goalie for a local hockey team. He is also busy prepping his team for another state championship win at the Statewide Teen Court Mock Trial Competition.
