      Phenomenal, extraordinary, outstanding!

      Posted by

      Kyler is brilliant! When I was first served with my notice for a false accusation I had no idea where to start. Kyler was referred to me by another law firm and I have nothing but great things to say. He was concise, compassionate, and his experience really shows. Kyler listened very carefully to the situation and was able to educate me on the process as well as promptly and accurately handle all of the paperwork. Being a professional, a false accusation can negatively impact my life and Kyler was able to clearly explain the multitude of outcomes and assist with planning an appropriate legal strategy specifically for me. We were able to get the case dismissed in a prompt manner. Having an attorney for representation was a smart decision, the same way I would trust a doctor to treat a broken leg or a pilot to operate an aircraft. The legal system is just too complicated and unintuitive for the average person to properly navigate. Hopefully life stays smooth forever but for the times that it doesn't I know Kyler will fight and provide the professional legal knowledge I'll ever need!

      Excellent Attorney

      Posted by

      Kyler figuratively saved my life. I don't believe any standard lawyer could have pulled the results he did for me. He is very knowledgable, professional, experienced, and knows how to work the game and the system. He will throw everything he has into the ring for you. He cares and puts you as his priority. Although all cases have different circumstances, and outcomes are varied and not guaranteed, he took me from 4 felonies to 3 misdemeanors. I cannot recommend him enough. I would definitely hire him again.

      Great Attorney and handled case in son's best interest.

      Posted by

      We had an unusual and unfortunate situation as my son, resident of California, was driving through Utah on his way back to college in Colorado. He was arrested for a marijuana DUI, possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. Kyler was highly recommended by a group of respectable attorneys; after reading reviews and speaking directly to Kyler, we hired him to represent our son. Kyler was matter of fact, communicated effectively and timely and was always there when we reached out and needed him. He was realistic and navigated our son's case on point. We were so pleased Kyler represented our son and we would highly recommend Kyler for any case. Additionally, his fees were very reasonable. Kyler had our case dismissed and now in the process of getting expunged.

      An experienced lawyer makes all the difference!

      Posted by

      This is the second time I hired Kyler and as with the first time, I got the result I was seeking. Kyler took the time to gather all the relevant details and created a winning strategy based on those details and his extensive experience with these types of cases as well as this particular judge’s rulings. I cannot stress enough the importance of hiring an experienced lawyer and Kyler is just that. Thanks again, Kyler.

      Excellent Lawyer Very Professional

      Posted by

      Kyler was very professional, extremely patient was always concerned about our son. He made sure we understood the process step by step. He was able to talk with the prosecuting attorney and we were all able to come to a reasonable term. I would hire him again if necessary and I would definitely refer him!

      In a very literal sense, This man saved my life.

      Posted by

      I honestly dont have the words to express my gratitude for everything Kyler did for me. My life was completely fine until one day almost over night it wasnt. I got charged with 2 felonies and was facing pretty hefty prison time. My life just kinda fell apart. From the second I called Kyler, he was on top of everything. He was making calls and walking me through the process and what our options were. He was always ready at court dates and always ready to fight. Cause thats all it was for 2 years, us fighting for me not to lose everything. Regardless of anything you have seen or heard, the DA is not your freind, the police are not your freind, and the judge is not your friend!! Your only freind in the world when facing charges is your lawyer and Kyler had my back every step of the way. From the felonies I was facing (because all all of Kylers hard work), I wound up with some misdemeanors, a little county jail time and 18 months probation. I am offically off of probation and everything is behind me. I got to keep everything I had worked for in life because of Kyler. Seriously, if you get in any trouble or find yourself suddenly in the legal system, you want someone who believes in you and will literally defend you till the end. Kyler will do that.

      Kyler not only has the smarts and expertise of a great criminal lawyer, he is tireless and driven to seek justice for each and every one of his clients. I confidently refer criminal cases to Kyler, knowing they are in excellent hands.

      Tara Isaacson, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 22, 2017
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Kyler is a top notch lawyer. I’ve worked on cases with him, referred clients to him and seen him in Court. He is always on top of his game. He is a great communicator with clients and keeps them up to speed on what is happening. He gets along with prosecutors and judges respect him. Highly recommended.

      Philip Wormdahl, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 11, 2016
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I have known Kyler for several years. He is a respected lawyer in Utah and has a good reputation among judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys alike. Perhaps Kyler's best asset is that he is not afraid to push cases all the way to trial and make the government work for everything they want in court. I frequently see Kyler in court and would not hesitate to refer friends or family to him.

      Jarom Bangerter, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 7, 2015
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer. He's got a solid grasp of the intricate details of criminal law and I've seen him represent his clients with compassion and true grit.

      Robert Saunders, Criminal defense Attorney on May 19, 2015
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Kyler is smart, knowledgeable, and a well respected attorney in Utah's criminal defense world. Whenever I have legal questions, I turn to Kyler for answers. Truly a great lawyer.

      Stephen Allred, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 15, 2014
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Kyler is an attorney that obtains great results for clients. I know he does quality work and I endorse him

      William Shelton, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 26, 2014
      Relationship: Friend

      Kyler is an excellent advocate with good court room presence. I rely on him often to give me advice in my own cases.

      Justin Pratt, Criminal defense Attorney on May 23, 2014
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I have worked with Kyler on several matters. He is a dedicated, effective attorney. He knows the law better than the prosecutors and he is always willing to fight for his clients. I highly recommend Kyler.

      Joshua Baron, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 4, 2014
      Relationship: Supervised lawyer

      Kyler was made to be a criminal defense lawyer. No one works harder or cares more about their clients. He is never afraid to fight a prosecutor and his hard work always benefits his clients. If I or a family member were charged with a crime, I would hire Kyler without hesitation.

      Yossof Sharifi, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 4, 2014
      Relationship: Co-worker

      Kyler is the hardest working attorney I've ever seen. He fights tooth and nail on cases other attorneys think are hopeless. I have literally been shocked at some of the wins he has on his record (including getting 30 pounds of marijuana thrown out of court, which resulted in the client's case being dismissed.) If I had a criminal charge, I would hire him.

      Mark Brown, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 3, 2014
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I have worked with Kyler on several matters. He is hard working, enthusiastic and passionate about criminal defense. I look forward to working on more cases with Kyler in the future.

      Sharla Dunroe, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 27, 2013
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Kyler Ovard embodies that rare combination of dedication, courage, ingenuity, and empathy. Any individual would be incredibly lucky to have him as a representative.

      Russell Pietryga, Criminal defense Attorney on Jul 28, 2012
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. Kyler is an extremely knowledgeable, aggressive and passionate attorney. I have consulted with and appeared with Kyler on numerous cases. If I were charged with a crime, I would not hesitate in making my decision to retain him.
