Real Estate 60%

My experience with real estate issues rangest from simple disputes over earnest money for single family home purchases gone bad, to multi-million dollar litigation over commercial development rights, and commissions disputes with damages in the six figures. I have negotiated and drafted transaction documents for purchase, lease, and financing transactions in the millions, and I have negotiated workout agreements for borrowers and tenants allowing them to continue operating without bankruptcy.

60%
Corporate and Incorporation 20%

No attorney can be competent in real estate without a functional knowledge of business entity and securities law (or bankruptcy for that matter). As a result of my dealings in real estate transactions and litigation, I have created numerous entities (Corporations, S-Corporations, LLC's, LLP's, etc.), assisted stakeholders manage those entities properly, and represented stakeholders in disputes and dissolution proceedings.

Litigation 20%

"Litigation" is a broad term that includes many types of adversarial hearings. Using the broadest definition, I have managed well over 100 peices of "litigation." As most lawyers will tell you, the vast majority of these cases result in settlement, and that is true for the cases I have handled. My cases include proceedings in traditional civil court throughout the Southwestern US, private arbitrations, and administrative hearings with OAH.

Consult with Kyle before you sign the construction contract.

I cannot give Kyle a higher recommendation. He listens and provides excellent legal counsel. I was having legal issues with a construction company building retaining walls in my backyard and he is the person who solved it for me. For anyone planning on having construction done on their property; I... would suggest that you have Kyle review the contract before signing it. Sincerely, Ronald W. Finnegan

Honesty Always Wins

I'm writing a review based on just an initial consultation over the phone. I called Kyle on the basis that I needed to possibly put to rest a concern with a recent residential purchase I was involved in. He provided sincere feedback to help me understand the nature of a claim or even possibly... a lack thereof. Instead of saying "let's sue!" He took the time to say (in context of course), "let's really look at tripping over dollars to get pennies." While he provided some If you need an attorney who apparently cares about the integrity of doing what is actually right, then I highly recommend Kyle. I know that I choose to pursue action for whatever reason, this is the attorney I would want to help us do so.

Couldn't be more satisfied

I just completed a real-estate case with the help of kyle yaege. I received everything I wanted from an attorney: humility, knowledge, respect for my opinion, promptness in responding to my inquiries, smartness in his arguments to the opposing attorney, and great advice. the case concluded in my fa...vor and it is absolutely and totally thanks to mr. yaege. and when I praise him, it's out of experience. I had just completed dealing with another attorney and the difference between the two was h-u-g-e. i may have a somewhat related insurance issue soon for which i will need legal support. i will not even look for anybody else. for me, the quality of my life has jumped a notch higher by having kyle yaege on my side.

Keeping my home !

Prior to contacting Kyle, 3 lawyers advised me, my case was a losing battle. Kyle advised me in a different direction, allowing me to keep my home. His knowledge is the only reason, I succeeded.

Best Decision I Could Have Made

I chose Kyle Yaege to represent me in a civil suit after receiving recommendations by some of his other clients. He exceeded my expectations in every way and was able to bring about a very favorable resolution to what was a pretty difficult case. His judgement, advice, knowledge and experience are in...valuable and I am confident that he was the absolute best choice for representation in my case. After my experience with Kyle I will certainly recommend his services to anybody in need of an attorney.
