Yes! Recommend

Would recommend! Kyle was excellent. Very professional, patient, and easy to work with. He did a great job of laying out all the expectations and what is required on my behalf. This is my first time using any lawyer and i did not know what to expect. Kyle and his team made the entire process a bre...eze and less stressful.

Amazing service!

Kyle and his team were outstanding. Throughout the whole process, from the consultation to the court date, I felt so informed, supported, and prepared. It really made dealing with the whole legal process so easy and knowing Kyle and his team were there to help see my case through helped minimize any ...stress.

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."
