Kyle’s Personal Approach to Client Care

“Hauptman O’Brien is not only well-known in our area, but it is also respected throughout the Heartland’s legal community,” Kyle said. “The firm’s focus and experience with personal injury is hard to beat and I am eager for my clients to get that level of expertise and care.”

“The part about this profession that I like most is working with everyday people,” Kyle said. “It’s important to me to have a personal connection with my clients. The people I get to help are facing some of the most challenging experiences of their entire lives. Being able to protect and shepherd them through that process successfully is what I enjoy most.”

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience after a difficult time. Everyone I came into contact with was extremely professional and always responded promptly when I had questions. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment in recommending them to anyone in need.

Thank you all so much for taking care of my wife and I. At a huge transition period in our life David, Desirae, and Lori took care of everything that I did not have the bandwidth for. Without your expertise I would have definitely missed stuff and come out of pocket for it. Yall made the process easy to understand and navigate and while I hope I dont need your services again I would 100% recommend to a friend. 😂

I suffered severe injuries in an auto accident in May of 2025. I chose Mr. Cripe to represent me and pursue liability compensation against the at-fault driver and their insurance carrier. After a very tedious but thorough process we were able to secure substantial damages which is more than normally expected. I have nothing but kind words to say about Mr. Cripe. Throughout this ordeal he was very supportive, informative and always asked for my opinion on the given situation. I would choose Mr. Cripe without a doubt if the situation should ever arise again where I need legal counsel.

As a college educated working professional, I never wanted or thought I or my family would need the services of a personal injury attorney. When someone in our immediate family was involved in an accident, my wife and I thought we could navigate the insurance process on our own, (after all we weren’t looking to profit from it). We quickly realized the process has become complicated and can turn into a full time job, costing our family in ways we never even dreamed. While I pray we never find ourselves in a situation to need their services again. David will be my first call. Everyone from top to bottom was patient and understanding. They walked us through the process and advised us along the way, filling in the gaps that hospitals, insurance companies and representatives failed to provide. Thanks to David and his wonderful team our family was able to focus on the emotional and physical healing while they found resolution and we were able to move on.

A little over 2 yrs ago I walked through the doors @ Hauptman O’Brian Wolf & Lathrop, a little nervous and a little scared. I was in a car accident on the interstate, my car was totaled and I’m thankful to be here. With their help and reassurance that everything will be fine. And it is. Jeremiah Elliott and his fantastic staff kept me well informed through out the process. It took patients on my part and time to heal too. They were always there to answer my question and so kind. I would recommend their legal service’s for any type of situation you might be in. It will only take a little time to tell your story or situation and listen to what they say. They are there to help you through the legal process and protect you. I will say I’m grateful for their compassion and knowledge of the legal process. I couldn’t do it without them. Thanks to them my case was successful.

Fortunately I haven’t required their legal services, but I have made use of their “Safe Ride Home” program. I feel safer knowing that this service is available for everyone, not just clients, during the holidays.

First time getting into a motor vehicle accident and the team was really helpful during this process. The piece that made me feel better to work with the Hauptman Bellevue office was that they were always asking how I was doing. The office really ensured my health and recovery was the priority. They made me comfortable throughout the whole process, and would recommend anyone in a motor vehicle accident to reach out to this office. Thank you all!
