Professionalism Goes A Long Way

Mr. Lysle was the first to respond, and his responses were very professional. I've posted questions on this forum in the past and a majority of the responses are always either profession-promoting or condescending. If a majority of the attorneys participating were of Mr. Lysle's ilk, this site would ...be the first to come to mind for recommendation. If the amount involved in my issue wasn't so trivial I wouldn't hesitate to give him my business. Professionalism goes a long way.

Fast and straight forward

I had a general question for Mr Lysle about a lawsuit and he instantly provided to my email a response that allowed me to clearly understand my options. I was very impressed with the quick response and I look forward to working with Mr Lysle.

Always responsive and knowledge is second to none!

Thank you Richard for always promptly replying to my desperate attempts at good legal advice. You are always the first to reply to the numerous posts of legal help I've sought in the past year. You simplify the process and break it down to where its understandable. Great knowledge in your field. Than...k you.

A knowledgable and professional attorney that knows how to handle debt collection.

After responding to one of my Avvo online questions with an excellent answer, I decided to hire the services of Mr. Richard Lysle. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of professionalism, knowledge and experience that he has. From day one Mr Lysle made me feel like he was 100% on my side up a...gainst a big credit card company that was suing me for an issue for which I claimed was fraud. The good news is that with his guidance the credit card company dropped the lawsuit thus eliminating the debt and clearing my credit of the derogatory charge off.

Mr Lysle Took our smaller, but rather complicated case with Full Professionalism, Fully Informative, Very Helpful with each step

Mr Lysle has took up on our case, as we were sued by a third party as a result of Idendity Fraud that we were victims of, and we had nothing to do with the actual court case which targeted us, we were concerned by the fact that our case was rather 'smaller' and yet maybe 'complicated' to deal with. A...fter our initial consultation with Mr Lyle for another matter, we went to see him again, and He was very Proffesional, Very informative, and fully gained our trust. He not only took the case seriously informing us with every detail and clear indications, but presented us on the court day, and shortly there after charges against us were dropped. We have utmost trust when it comes to consulting Mr Lysle, and would like to express our great experience with him and his team once more.

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.
