Kyle focuses his practice on representing individuals in both pending criminal cases and in criminal appeals. This is a dual-threat approach to criminal law. As an attorney who handles criminal appeals, Kyle has a reputation in the trial courts as an attorney who will take his cases to the next level when necessary. This provides value to clients with pending criminal matters who are hoping to convince a prosecutor for a favorable outcome or persuade a judge that their rights were violated.

As a criminal attorney, Kyle combines aggressiveness and experience as a trial attorney with the finesse and savvy of an advocate to address the unique concerns of each individual client. Being well-prepared and remaining several steps ahead is his motto as well as what his clients expect.

When Kyle is not in the courtroom he authors legal guides and delivers lectures to other criminal defense lawyers around the State. Kyle is published in the “Voice for the Defense” magazine published by the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association (TCDLA) and was chosen as a lecturer for TCDLA’s Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Project. Kyle also volunteers as a Teen Court Judge and is an elected member of the Collin County Bail Bond Board.

Prior to starting his law practice, Kyle Therrian attended law school at the University of Oklahoma where he was recognized as one of the top oral advocates in his class and inducted into the Order of Solicitors.
