Divorce

Kevin is one of the best attorneys in the area. He is outstanding professional, he listens well, and cares about his clients. His advices were priceless. Through my divorce process I got to know him as a kind, very knowledgeable, and supportive individual. I have found Kevin to be an excellent attorn...ey in every way and would highly recommend his services.

Divorce

We hired Mr. Waite to assist with a divorce situation. Sad to say working with him created tremendous additional stress due to poor advice and guidance, clarity on the process, lack of timely communication and his not being properly prepared to represent our information in hearings. Ultimately we par...ted company, but it cost us a lot of time and money for minimal benefit. I can safely say I personally would never hire Mr. Waite for any type legal needs in the future.

Excellent!

Kevin helped me when I had someone threaten me with a law suit. He wrote ONE letter and they backed down. So what could have been a horrible ordeal was handled quickly, efficiently, and I felt at a very low cost. I highly recommend him!

Kevin Waite did phenomenal!

Recently went to court for custody of my daughter and Kevin did very well. He is very professional and is a man of his word. It was intimidating going for full custody of my daughter as a male in this state but Kevin gave me confidence from the beginning of the case to the end. We ended up getting mo...re than expected at the end of trial and i am very happy with the results. Thanks to Kevin i have full custody of my daughter and know she is not in harms way with a bunch of drug addicts around her all the time. The one thing that was difficult from time to time was getting a call back from his law office because i always had questions. I still give a strong five stars and will definitly be going back to Kevin Waite with any legal issues i may come across. Thank you very much again Kevin!

Professional misconduct

Public Reprimand issued in ID, 2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
