Successful Settlement Claim
Mr. Lyle handled my difficult ASR Hip Settlement with DePuy. He and his staff worked tirelessly to put my case together, complete all necessary paperwork, submit/respond to forms and information requests, and settled my claim successfully with the court. He is easy to talk and work with and is of great character and integrity. I highly recommend Mr. Lyle for your consideration.

Brilliant attorney
Frank is a brilliant attorney and a wonderful person. I felt so at ease with him. With all the negative feedback on attorneys these days Frank gives attorneys a good name. Thank you Frank for helping me during a very difficult time . I can't say enough good things about you. Ken Ballard

As fantastic of an experience as you can have after an accident!
Mr. Lyle and Ms. Olson were extremely helpful after my accident. Their knowledge and negotiation skills made a tedious, difficult process much smoother. They were well-organized and great at communicating exactly where we were in the process and what I needed to do next.

Frank did a great job for us.
Frank was extremely efficient, prompt and helpful in dealing with the various entities and insurance companies required to settle our drunk driver accident claims. Frank’s expertise in this area was invaluable in navigating this process. There are many parts of this process that I didn’t even know existed that the insurance companies certainly wouldn’t clue you in to. The communication from Frank was very satisfactory.

Frank is the very best!
I was involved in a difficult case, Frank Lyle did not let that stop him. Frank took on my case, they saw I needed help and choose to help me. From the very first conversation Frank was extremely kind, understanding, and informative! Frank made sure I knew and understood what was going on with my case at all times. He went above and beyond to answer any questions I had and gave me information about things I didnt know to ask about. Frank is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and understanding! He worked hard for me and always made sure I felt completely comfortable the entire time. He is wonderful! I would use him again and would recommend him to anyone! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Thank you, Frank!
Frank Lyle has given me excellent legal advice regarding an accident involving an 18 wheeler rear-ending me, which sent me to the ER and totaled my vehicle. Mr. Lyle helped me to understand the legal papers the trucking company want signed in order to settle their claim. After providing clarity of the legal jargon the trucking company was presenting to me, he then gave me advice on how to move forward and settle their claim in my best interest. He, also, informed me of legal rights I have pertaining to my own insurance company regarding PIP coverage, which they had not informed me of. He took an hour and a half of his time to patiently discuss the legalities of my circumstances at no cost. I highly recommend Springer and Lyle for your legal needs. I definitely consider Frank Lyle and his firm as my legal concierges today and in the future. Eight months have passed since I wrote this review. Mr. Lyle has continued to spend numerous hours advising and representing me. He never wavered from his intent to obtain medical expenses I incurred from the accident on May 24, 2021. The billing was tangled up with auto/health insurance companies, along with third party billing firms. This was all sorted out because of Mr. Lyle’s tenacity, knowledge, and professionalism. He, then, let the adjuster with the insurance company representing the trucking company know what was needed for a proper settlement. If I had not had Mr. Lyle and his firm backing me, this would not have been possible. I met with Mr. Lyle to sign the settlement and pay him for his legal services. He would not take any payment. I cannot say enough about Mr. Lyle. He is the most trustworthy, humble, and dedicated attorney I have ever met. I reiterate as I stated previously: I highly recommend Springer and Lyle for your legal needs. I definitely consider Frank Lyle and his firm as my legal concierges today and in the future.

Consummate Professional
When a family member was involved in an auto accident, we didn’t know what we didn’t know. From our first conversation with Frank Lyle we were put at ease. He was very empathetic to our situation and was very thorough in walking us through all of our options. He communicated with us regularly and guided us through the entire process until we were able to settle with the insurance company at a point that would have never been possible without his help. He is very knowledgeable, but does a great job of speaking in terms that anyone can understand. He took his time to listen and explained all of the options and possible outcomes of our situation. The best thing about Frank is he cares. Ultimately he wants to see that his clients are able to fully recover from whatever accident they had.

Excellent knowledge and advice
Frank Lyle of Springer-Lyle provided me with exceptional legal help during a difficult time in my life due to an accidental, wrongful death. He discussed all the needed details and proceeded to put my mind at ease by keeping me informed as each part was worked on. I would never have been able to navigate the process without him. He was readily available for any questions I had. Frank was caring and respectful throughout the whole process and to my family. I would highly recommend his legal services.

BEST in the Business!
Coming from someone who has never needed an attorney before, I admit I was hesitant, confused and at times stressed about which direction to go with our case. Frank came highly recommended from a very respected judge that has worked in the court system for many years. I am so thankful that we took that recommendation. Frank has been with us every step of the way to get our case resolved. He has a big heart and that shows through how he takes care of his clients. His knowledge, kindness and patience truly makes him the best in the business. His paralegal, Debbie, was also wonderful to work with. They make an amazing team. They were organized and thorough, always on top of anything that needed to be done. All of the office staff really went above and beyond to make sure we were always taken care of and welcomed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frank and his team to a friend, family member or anyone that needs help.

Stellar treatment!
I needed an attorney due to an auto accident with a very negligent driver. I ended up needing surgery and PT and was at a loss until I found Frank Lyle and his paralegal Debbie Maldonado. They were professional yet very friendly and caring. I don't think a week went by that they were not checking on me and following up on the process. I would definitely recommend them and call on them again for any legal need!

Professional, Trustworthy, Compassionate
Frank Lyle was my attorney in a claim for personal injury against The Home Depot and one of their contracted vendors, Advantage Solutions. After my first consultation with Frank and his paralegal, Debbie Maldonado, over the course of a year while the world was plagued by the Covid-19 Pandemic, he negotiated a fair settlement with the insurance adjusters representing Home Depot and Advantage Solutions to my complete satisfaction. I found Mr. Lyle to be professional, compassionate, competent and trustworthy in his approach to my case and he is knowledgeable about the laws where I was insured through Medicare and a Supplemental Insurance to Medicare Company, and reached a fair settlement with all concerned. I would recommend Mr. Lyle to any of my family and friends who seek the services of an attorney they can trust.

Frank Lyle and Jeff Springer were an amazing team for our family. We were recommended to them by a friend that is an attorney, and from the first meeting we knew why they were recommended. They were honest, reliable and consistent. Our case took over two years to resolve, yet they remained steadfast in their research and efforts to resolve the case. We could not have been more pleased with them as professionals. We hope to not find ourselves in need of their services again; however, if we did we would call Frank without hestitation.

Hurt Due to Negligence of Another
After the first consultation and hiring Frank, I knew what could be done. Plainly. Professionally. Post having received an injury that potentially would have ended my career within my field of work which was due to another party's clear negligence, I received the best counsel that i could have from Frank at the first meeting. The options of what could be done on their side was clear, and all suggestions for any action that i might take was explained in detail. My wellbeing and health as an individual was his priority. He worked through the legal processes along with me. I didn't feel at any point that I didn't have a clear picture of where my case was going or could go. Frank has definitive and refined experience. Any time I had a question or brought up any thought, he would respond with an explanation or answer that was direct, but not in any sort of a dismissive manner. Ever. If it was a concern of mine, it was a concern of his. I ended up placing my trust in him as a lawyer whom would be fighting for my best interests; which I didn't feel was a potential when it came to my health, wellbeing, and potentially my career being at risk. In return, he came through with getting a preferable settlement for the case, but ALWAYS kept my health as a priority. Not once did I not receive a question about my health status whenever i saw him; whether it be a brief appointment or hours long. As i felt the array of emotions of being disgruntled, frustrated, stressed, betrayed by another party, and worried for my future and my family's future from the time of the injury. I feel them no longer over the case. Even if things did not go the way they did, I would have felt the same. Frank did EVERYTHING he stated he would and could do as lawyer. Meeting by meeting, and following his professional suggestions and judgment, they diminished. If I ever will suggest a lawyer, I will suggest Frank until he practices no longer. Don't waste time with any other firm that he isn't ATLEAST affiliated with or refers you to himself.

Hit by a vehicle while walking in a parking lot.
I was hit by a vehicle while walking in a parking lot. I was taken to the hospital where I needed surgery, rehab, and OT for several months. We read reviews on-line and chose Springer and Lyle, LLP. Mr. Lyle and his wonderful paralegal, Debbie Maldonado, were so easy to work with. They answered all of our questions and explained everything in a simple way for us. During the consultation, they were very thorough and caring. Because the case was on-going over an extended period of time due to medical procedures and therapy, they kept in constant contact with us. They encouraged questions and guided us step by step. We were quite impressed with Mr. Lyle and Debbie Maldonado, Paralegal. They sorted out all the paperwork and documentation from the insurance companies and medical providers. I was extremely satisfied with the settlement. It was settled rapidly. We were quite impressed with the expertise and the professionalism of Mr. Lyle and Debbie. Both are very helpful and compassionate. We can't thank them enough and highly recommend this firm for anyone needing legal services.

Thank You
Double roll-over car crash. The Subaru saved our lives, but we both went to the hospital and one of us would need surgery, rehab, PT, OT, for several months. And what about the car and truck that wrecked each other and sent us into upside down? We've never been involved in personal injury situation. With so much going on and so much unclear, we got a referral from another Denton attorney to meet Frank Lyle. We are so very glad we did. The process is opaque (to us) and the requirements stringent. Frank and his team set us on a straight course, communicated often, made everything clear, and negotiated us to what we thought was fair. Thank You !

Peace of mind
After being involved in a head on car collision, I was severely distressed being that I did not know what to do, especially since I was a foreigner in the country not knowing what to expect. After being recommended by my co-workers to engage an attorney to assist me with my case. As how we usually shop on Amazon by looking at reviews, I did the same and chanced upon Springer and Lyle when I looked up for attorneys around the area. I met Mr. Lyle and was impressed with his knowledge and level of competence. It did not take me took long to engage his services and I was glad I did. He answered all my questions and was patient in providing the explanation for each question. I ended up with a very fair settlement thanks to Mr. Lyle and his team. I hope that I do not have have to experience the stress of settlements in future, but should there, be a need to, I know that I can definitely rely on Mr. Lyle and his team.

So Happy to Have Found This Firm!
Almost two years ago, my husband and I were rear-ended by a drunk driver and sustained injuries. When the decision was made to obtain legal counsel, we looked for someone local that we felt would help us through this situation. We found the SpringerLyle law firm and chose them because of the excellent reviews on-line. During our first visit with Mr. Lyle and his Paralegal, Debbie, we knew we had made the right choice. They were both very understanding and kind and made us feel at ease. Because our case was ongoing for an extended length of time due to the fact that we were going through medical procedures, they were constantly in touch with us and never made us feel that our case was not important to them. Mr. Lyle, with his tremendous knowledge and compassion, has our utmost respect and we can’t thank him, Debbie and the rest of his staff enough for all their help through this ordeal. We would highly recommend him to everyone we know.

Highly recommend Frank Lyle!!
We chose Frank Lyle of the Springer-Lyle Law Firm to handle our daughter's personal injury case based on all the outstanding reviews we found online. It was the best decision we could have ever made. From the beginning, Frank was caring, compassionate, and personally visited my daughter many times while in the hospital and at home. We had little idea of what happened and Mr. Lyle was diligent in getting all the details and providing the answers we were so desperately seeking. The accident left our daughter a quadriplegic and Frank Lyle explored every avenue to get every settlement possible, along with seeking justice on her behalf. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and could not have gone through this horrible ordeal without him. He and his legal team are top notch – very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. But above all, we feel we have made a new lifelong friend. He told us that just because our case is now settled, he will always be there for us in the future. We firmly believe he will.

Amazed and so pleased with Mr. Lyle and his associates.
"Life granted me an opportunity to seek help from an attorney due to an auto accident. A personal acquaintance had highly recommended the Springer and Lyle firm, specifically Frank Lyle and his paralegal Debbie Maldonado. I met with them and was immediately put at ease regarding the case and furthermore I was amazed by their expertise and professionalism. I was thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of their services. "

We are so happy we had Mr. Lyle on our side!
After my young adult daughter was hit by a drunk driver, we found ourselves needing an attorney to deal with the insurance. I reviewed reviews online and we chose Springer and Lyle, LLP. We are so happy that we did!! Mr. Lyle and his paralegal, Debbie Maldonado, have been so easy to work with. They answered all of the questions we had along the way and explained everything in a way that my daughter could easily understand. We ended up with a very fair settlement thanks to Mr. Lyle. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Hopefully we'll never need the assistance of a personal injury attorney again, but if we do, we will definitely be contacting Springer and Lyle, LLP.
