I hired Kyle for assistance in a contract dispute. Kyle is a rare breed. The entire time, he worked towards meeting my goals and needs, even when indignation wanted to prevent me from doing that for myself. Some relationships needed consideration, which ultimately was more important to me than winning. He knew this, and despite having the winning position, he always brought me back to what was most important to me. At first, I wondered if he had it in him to fight for my position, but when we had depositions, he was prepared, caught every nuance of conflicting information, and ultimately had the other party in tears. And he actually felt bad for that, but he knew he was only asking fair questions and appropriately representing me, so he didn't back off. Like I said, a rare breed. To the finish line, he maintained the balance of managing information and strategizing our approach so that, while we avoided litigation so there was no judgment in our favor, we were the winners in a thousand other ways. The most important ways. He is a quick thinker, creative problem solver, excellent negotiator, and is always keeping the big picture in mind. Kyle could have latched onto my desire to fight and maximized the opportunity to make a LOT of money off of me. But he didn't. He cares about his clients and knows that when someone needs legal help, they are in a crisis, and he has no intention of taking advantage of that. It's like he took a class in the psychology of a litigant and understands that this kind of conflict does not bring out the best in anyone. He considers it part of his job to bring them back to being their best selves so that they get out of a place of just wanting to fight to fighting for what they really want. I hope I never need an attorney again, but I highly recommend him to the rest of Central Oregon!

Too busy to help!!!

I hired Kyle Schmid in the summer of 2019. I was extremely impressed with his fast response to the issues I was having on a land sales contract. I am very thankful to have been directed to him. I hope I don't ever need to use him again. But if I do, I will hesitate to contact his firm immediately. Thank you Kyle!

Highly recommend this legal firm! They handled a complex situation for us in a highly professional and efficient manner, allowing us to sleep at night knowing we were in good capable hands.
