Kylie Schmidt

Kylie has spent her entire career handling complex civil litigation matters and representing individuals in personal injury, employment, and medical malpractice cases. She enjoys working with people of all ages who have suffered injuries or injustices due to the wrongs of others.  She prides herself on learning her cases inside and out, which provides an edge when she needs to effectively convey her client’s story. Kylie takes the time to listen to her clients and help them understand the legal system. Her gift of caring and communicating clearly with clients provides them with the support, confidence, and reassurance needed during a devastating time in their lives.

Kylie tirelessly advocates for her clients’ voices and stories.  Seeking out the truth and confronting wrongdoers with their bad behavior drives Kylie’s passion for trial work. Simply put, she holds wrongdoers accountable; from workplaces that mistreat employees, to doctors and medical professionals who injure patients, to negligent parties who cause irreversible injuries, Kylie’s primary goal is to make sure that the victims of wrongful conduct become victors.

Kylie is prepared to take every case she litigates through trial, to verdict, and is proud to call herself a trial lawyer.
