He brings nearly four decades of experience in the insurance industry, where he worked on the defense side advising adjusters on claim valuation and settlement strategy.

Born and raised in Sarasota, Kyle graduated from Manatee High School before attending Florida State University College of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctor. Following law school, he began his legal career at a respected law firm in Southern California, where he gained valuable experience handling complex legal matters in a highly competitive legal environment.
Despite opportunities to continue practicing in California, Kyle chose to return home to Sarasota and join his family’s law practice. This combination of high-level legal experience and lifelong ties to the local community allows him to provide clients with both sophisticated advocacy and personalized attention.
Kyle focuses his practice exclusively on personal injury law, representing clients in cases involving automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, premises liability claims, trip-and-fall and slip-and-fall injuries, wrongful death claims, and other negligence-related matters. He understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll that serious injuries can take and works tirelessly to help clients pursue the compensation they deserve.
Throughout his career, Kyle has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured clients, including:
• $1,550,000 recovery for a client injured in a motorcycle accident

• $275,000 recovery for a client injured in a boating accident
• $250,000 recovery in a trip-and-fall case against a national property management company

Kyle is a member of the Florida Justice Association and remains actively engaged in advocating for the rights of injury victims throughout Florida. He is known for providing responsive communication, honest guidance, and dedicated representation from the initial consultation through the resolution of each case.
