Kyle Joseph Siems

I resoundingly echo the sentiments of all the positive reviews Kyle has received. Since my situation involved a complex move away case, I had consulted with at least 20 odd top attorneys, including the best celebrity lawyers in the LA area, who all believed that my case would get tied up in courts fo...r the next two to four years at least, and cost me upwards of half a million dollars, despite the fact that the opposing party had several infringements and violations. And then I met Kyle and my fate completely changed. He was extremely strategic and navigated the situation so that we were able to mediate and settle out of court successfully, saving both sides millions and years of precious time. In addition to his legal prowess and deep expertise of the family court system, his ability to understand us as humans and the long term best interests of the kids is what helped resolve this situation. I highly recommend Kyle. He is thoughtful, considerate, empathetic and at the same time transparent about all the ways a situation could backfire, how we can tackle it and the most effective actions to take. Despite his terribly busy schedule he also always made time for a call and between his paralegal Gina, they always made sure I got a quick response.

Kyle Siems is the best referral I ever received! He helped to navigate me through the hardest period of my life and saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars through what turned out to be a much more difficult divorce process than most. His well thought out strategies, meticulous attention to details..., empathy and genuine care for my family's wellbeing also makes him an incredibly rare human being. He has helped me and my kids in more ways than I could ever repay him, and I will forever be grateful to have him in my corner. If you need a lawyer look no further. I promise you will not find a more competent, professional and caring individual in this industry. The San Diego area is lucky to have one of the finest human beings I have met available to help so many people during such a difficult phase in life.

I retained Kyle in 2019. My divorce and settlement took a number of years to get through. It was also very stressful. Kyle had my back through it all. He made sure I never lost custody of our 2 children. Kyle did an outstanding job dealing with the multiple attorneys my ex used in defending herself. ... My divorce entailed property, sale of company to a publicly traded company that lead to stock that was hidden from me which I was ultimately granted thanks to Kyle. Subpoena’s on large financial institutions. Forensic analysis experts. Very complex with large assets is Kyle’s wheelhouse. I am forever grateful I hired Kyle.

My experience with Kyle was deeply disappointing and ultimately damaging. I retained Kyle from late 2017 through mid-2023 for a complex, high-conflict custody and child support matter. During this period, I was unemployed, facing a federal civil lawsuit by the FTC, and under an asset freeze. Despi...te repeated requests—documented in emails over multiple years—for Kyle to correct my temporary child support obligations using proper guideline calculations (which would have shown the mother owing me support), he failed to act. On his advice, I stipulated in early 2018 to pay $3,000/month “without prejudice,” under the belief that we would later correct the figures retroactively. However, when the FTC filed suit and froze my assets in late 2018, Kyle refused to address support at our November 2018 hearing. He advised against pursuing the issue, despite my financial hardship and the mother’s continued employment and higher income. His October 16, 2018 response to my concerns was: “I'd like to avoid all that at this point, if at all possible, as the cost is going to outweigh the benefit.” In hindsight, this decision has been devastating. That temporary order—never corrected—ultimately led to an erroneous $109,000 arrears judgment based on numbers the mother submitted to DCSS on her FL-420 and FL-421 forms. These inflated figures were taken at face value, and I am still fighting to unwind them in court. DCSS now confirms the mother, who earns four times my income, should be paying me support. Yet I cannot receive it because of these “arrears” she is being reimbursed for—based on flawed, outdated data Kyle never challenged. I’m now forced to pursue a motion to vacate this judgment on my own, because Kyle refuses to assist in fixing this monumental error. In addition, I asked Kyle for years to seek a restraining order due to repeated abusive conduct by the mother toward me and the children. He declined to pursue it. After relieving him, I filed for a TRO on my own and was granted one that lasted 7 months—proving that my concerns were valid and should have been raised long before. I eventually decided to allow the DVRO to expire because the mother stipulated to quit acting in a list of abusive ways to the children and I. This review is hard to write, as I once viewed Kyle as a trusted advisor and even a friend. But I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his services, and in the end, I was left unprotected and saddled with legal and financial burdens that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend his representation. He is also ignoring me.

I hired Kyle to help me navigate one doozy of an opposing party. He presents you with the pros and cons of options and possible scenarios. Between him and his paralegal Gina we got well written declarations and arguments that made sense in the face of a whole bunch of senselessness. When the other pa...rty's actions went off the rails, Kyle knew what to do, and he'll know what to do for your case too.
