My goal when working with clients in a divorce is to bring a positive attitude and disposition to the table.  I know that when dealing with a divorce or custody action, people are going through possibly the hardest thing in their life.  As well as representing my clients and helping them wade the waters of the Colorado court system, I try everyday to help them through the struggle in whatever way I can.  I hope that my clients would agree that I try as much as possible to make the divorce process easy to understand and easy to deal with.. While most good divorce attorneys will tell you that often the best resolution is one that stems from mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution, and I would certainly agree with this, there is certainly a point in many cases when litigation is inevitable.  As an attorney, I am both comfortable and at home in the Court fighting and advocating for my clients.  There are many attorneys out there who will push settlement instead of litigation, however, I am prepared for either.

She also spent time at the Attorney General’s Office working on the Justice Review Project, which used DNA evidence to exonerate those who had been wrongfully convicted. Kyle also worked in the Criminal Defense Clinic at the University of Denver, where she honed her sharp knowledge of the Rules of Evidence that translate so well in her family law litigation practice.

She was a member of the Moot Court Board, the Student Trial Lawyers Association, the Trial Advocacy board, and taught mock trial skills to High School students.
