So, a little about me.  I know choosing an attorney is tough, and hopefully this information helps you. I founded LJ Law (formerly associated with Just Law) in 2010  because I saw a need for a different type of law firm.  One that wasn't focused on a make money at all costs mentality.  One that didn't leave scorched earth in the wake of a family law case.  We started a firm where we focus on the family and we try to be settlement-oriented, but still tough when we need to be.  Our flat fee approach ensures that the focus stays on achieving the best outcome using client's resources to their maximum potential.. I have been practicing in the area of divorce and family law for over 20 years.. Prior to starting LJ  Law (formely associated with Just Law), I worked for the Office of Guardian ad Litem representing abused and neglected children, I have continued this work by acting as a Private Guardian ad Litem in cases. My degree in Psychology and training and experience with complex assets, mediation, child development, alienation, abuse and neglect, trauma, domestic violence and personality disorders, makes me uniquely qualified to handle complex cases in a way that keeps client’s and children’s mental health at the forefront..

Firm: Sorensen Witherspoon, LLC

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

Kyle E. Witherspoon is an experienced, aggressive, and thoughtful litigator who believes that family law clients deserve a better class of lawyer, and is determined to give it to them.  Currently accepting client enquiries. CLIENT TESTIMONIALS. Cate M., 5 Star Google Review:. "Kyle Witherspoon is one of the most credible and knowledgeable divorce attorneys I’ve worked with. In my professional life, I encounter legal negotiations daily and have worked with a range of law firms. Kyle has proven himself a rise above some of the perceived “greats” out there in his profession, making a name for himself by being honest, straightforward, logical and beyond hardworking. He pairs that with a true empathy for his clients and a desire to help them see what is in their best interest even when they can’t see it themselves. To say my expectations have been exceeded  would be selling my experience short. My expectations have been carefully cultivated through the guidance that Kyle has given me and he has the backing of a firm that regards him highly, believing in his assessment of how cases should be managed. How refreshing to not be nickel and dimed but trusted for what can be managed and working together as a unified team for what is best for my case. If you are ever in need of an attorney, call Kyle Witherspoon at PearsonButler! I highly and emphatically recommend him!". Donna W., 5 Star Google Review:. "Kyle Witherspoon is a phenomenal lawyer.  He absolutely knows what he’s doing. He always had my best interest in mind and is excellent against opposing counsel. I would be very confident going to court against anyone with him on my side. He was very prompt to get back to me anytime I needed him.  He is an exceptional lawyer. I would very strongly recommend him.". Kloey J., 5 Star Google Review:. "I never thought I would need an attorney, but life circumstances can easily change. Kyle Witherspoon is fantastic to work with. He listened to my concerns and took them seriously. I realize he has many clients, but he makes you feel as if you are the main priority. I appreciate that he worked late into the night getting things ready before court. He's thorough and very detail oriented.". Kassy S., 5 Star Google Review:. "Working with Kyle Witherspoon has been amazing! I am extremely impressed with Kyle and his paralegal. They’ve taken the time to help me understand the process, they both care what's happening and have done everything they could to help me through it! I would recommend Kyle to anyone who comes to the unfortunate circumstances covered by family law. Truly, thank you both very much!". Joe L., 5 Star Google Review:. "Kyle Witherspoon is awesome! I needed an attorney to represent me and my small business over an issue where a previous client was trying to take advantage of me for over $60k.  Kyle started in on my case right away, and called the other attorney during our initial consultation and defended me.  Kyle said to me that his goal was to get this case dropped as quick as possible, and he did just that. This could have easily become something that would have amounted to large legal fees, going back and forth, and having the judge end up dropping the case anyway. Kyle was awesome to work with and was aggressive on defending me. He knew exactly what was needed to move this along quickly.. I hope I don't come into a situation like this again, but if I do I will definitely be in contact with this firm and Kyle Witherspoon.  He turned an extremely stressful time into a much more relaxed and easier to deal with situation. If I could Photoshop a 6th star on this review I would do it.". Ashlee C., 5 Star Google Review:. "Kyle Witherspoon has been great for me and my family. He also takes the time to make sure we are getting what we need!". Elisha K., 5 Star Google Review:. "Kyle Witherspoon has been my lawyer for about 7 months now, and he has been wonderful! He is very educated, and knows his stuff. His assistant Hailey has been great to work with as well! I highly recommend him!!!". Sean T., 5 Star Google Review:. "The team of Kyle Witherspoon and paralegal Hailey Massie is second to none! I went through a difficult divorce and they were there for me every step of the way. If you need strong advocates in your corner, do not hesitate to get this team on your side!". A passionate, steadfast, and intelligent advocate, Kyle Witherspoon has worked for some of the top law firms in Texas, Utah, and nationally.  In that time, he's represented everyone from farmers to hedge funds, single mothers to international corporations, small and large businesses, and individuals in litigation worth from a few thousand dollars all the way up to hundreds of millions.. Ultimately, however, Kyle chose to leave that behind and return to the practice that inspired him even before law school:  Family Law—helping and fighting for real people with real problems in some of the most important and difficult situations they’ll ever face. He considers it one of the best decisions of his life, and quickly found that the skills he honed as a litigator and trial attorney can provide an extraordinary advantage to his clients.

I grew up in northern California about 15 minutes west of Oakland in the Walnut Creek/Concord area.  It was awesome and miss it greatly.  I met my wife at the University of Utah.  Ironically, she was born roughly 30 miles from where I was born. I was born in Walnut Creek and my wife in Tracy. I played football, baseball and soccer growing up and was quite good at all three (not to brag, but this is an "about me" segment).  I played junior college football and also coached varsity football for two years when I was younger.  My second year of coaching we went undefeated. It was quite the experience.  My lifelong dream is to simply coach high school football again.. My wife and I love movies and our daughter.  We spend a great deal of time together and have a great marriage. I am blessed to be business partners with one of my best friends who is a great person, friend and attorney.  I am blessed to have associations with very good people and examples in my circle of influence and hope to be worthy of their friendship.. As for my legal practice there is really only one thing you need to know, I love to win. It doesn't matter if it is a game of tennis, Jenga or a hearing.  I hate losing, which is good for my clients.
