Real people, real help.

Finding myself in a legal situation for the first time ever in my life, Kyle and his whole team have been extremely considerate and helpful with the DUI process so far - informative, clear and sober representation (no pun intended). Still more to get through in my case, but I am moving ahead with ...confidence that I'm in good hands.

Highly Recommend!!

I would highly recommend Kyle Vinyard and the entire team at Reynolds Defense Firm. I got a DUII, something I never thought I’d ever be involved with, and I didn’t have any idea what to do. I called them to inquire, thinking I’d probably not get an attorney and every single person I spoke to and w...orked with treated me so kindly and with such care and respect. I hired them and have never ever had any regret. Kyle, Amy, Jen and all others I spoke to did all the leg work, things I never would have known to do. I felt completely at ease with something that was extremely stressful. Kyle is knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. We spoke about 4 times prior to my court hearing. He put me at ease, answered my questions, and pretty much saved my sanity. Amy also answered all my questions and was so quick to respond to my inquiries. I could write so much more about this firm. Getting a DUII is life changing. Something I plan to NEVER do again, although wouldn’t it be nice to work with RDF on a happier subject….?? I will be forever grateful that they “held my hand” through this. Thank you Kyle-Thank you Reynolds

Relationship: Co-worker

"Kyle has a rare skill: he can distill his client's life experiences into a story that judges, prosecutors, and juries can understand immediately. He is knowledgeable, smart, and has experience from prosecuting cases and defending them. I've always been impressed by his presentations in court -- when I'd see him stand up to address the court, I'd be sure to stop what I was doing and listen. He also happens to be a profoundly nice guy with a good heart. He's the type of lawyer you want on your side."
