Highly Recommended.

After a fire, our insurance company denied our insurance claim. As small business with limited resources, recovering for our fire was vital to the future of our business.

"Kyle is an extremely knowledgeable and effective insurance lawyer. He is very dogged and determined to recover insurance for his policyholder clients, and has pulled the proverbial rabbit from the hat for many clients who had lost any hope of insurance coverage. I strongly endorse Kyle."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Kyle and I worked together at a large insurance defense firm in Portland, Oregon. I know Kyle to be a hard-working, knowledgeable, and tenacious advocate for his clients. He cuts to the heart of the issues and takes a no-nonsense approach to his cases saving his clients thousands in attorneys fees and costs. I would want Kyle in my corner and endorse him completely."

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
