WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Lyle's deep experience in our industry make him invaluable to us."
"His history with our company means his knowledge runs deep and we can trust his recommendations."


MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"The goal of exceptional client service is a 20-year relationship, or more. If you can develop a true relationship... it serves the Firm, the lawyer, the client, but most importantly it makes what we do more fun. I have worked with most of our clients for over 20 years, and that is one of the great pleasures in my life."
