Kyle smith is the most caring , compassionate and competent attorney I have ever seen .

Kyle represented me on a criminal case appeal. I was utterly satisfied with the outcome of my case . he also informed me of a new law that had just passed that would have been a dream come true for me . He completely handled that so quickly and efficiently as well . He is incredibly hard-working ,kno...wledgeable ,competent , caring and creative in his approaches . The out come of my cases were all in my favor and I know for a fact that this would not have happend without Kyle Smith as my attorney. he was there for me always taking time out of his day to call me and explain things to me , answer all my questions very patiently and never rushing me. I am for ever greatfull to him and I would recommend Kyle Smith to anybody who wants A conscientious and truly good and solid attorney that will get them each and every possible favorable out come .

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.

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.
