This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I Never Felt Alone! Fantastic Attorney!

Mr. Kuykendall, was by my side throughout my entire divorce proceeding. He was able to keep my cost to a minimum and get a settlement through mediation for me that was more than significant! He often felt like a friend and not just an attorney. Since then he has done some other work for me. He has dr...awn up a power of attorney for medical and financial decisions. He has helped me with a credit card lawsuit. He does a little bit of everything! If you need someone in your corner, this is the MAN! Until he retires, he will be the only attorney that I call for anything!!!

A blessing!

I will forever appreciate his help and guidance through it all. This man is a man of great wisdom and he never one gave me the run around of anything. He spoke with firmness and with such clarity and I really needed that. Ex was abusive and it was scary trying to break away from that and save my litt...le girl from growing in that mess. Mr.Kuykendall helped me put an end to it, ex signed over the rights and me and my little girl live in peace and I truly cherish that. I had never had to deal with any legal issues and he was clear and explained everything thoroughly. Definitely recommend him 1000%!

In for the long haul

Mr. Kuykendall's experience was invaluable in my very long divorce. He helped me navigate some very difficult and unusual situations in my divorce. He is an excellent attorney and I recommend him as often as possible.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
