The Law Offices of Kyle R. Puro

Focus and practice areas

The Law Offices of Kyle R. Puro is a family law firm based in Long Beach, California. Its work sits inside one branch of law, and the range of matters within that branch is wide. The firm handles divorce, child custody, child support, and spousal support.

It also takes paternity, adoption, prenuptial agreements, and domestic violence matters. Beyond standard family law, the firm handles juvenile dependency cases that involve the Department of Children and Family Services and Child Protective Services. That second category matters, because it points to a specific kind of courtroom work involving parents and the state.

In my opinion, the value of a single-focus firm like this one is that the same body of law comes up again and again. A firm that spends its days on custody and support builds familiarity with how those disputes actually move through California courts.

Who runs the firm

Kyle R. Puro founded the firm in March 2015. His path into family law started earlier. He began practicing in California in 2009, then joined a family law firm in Century City in 2010.

From 2011 to 2015 he worked as a court-appointed attorney with the Los Angeles Dependency Lawyers, Inc. In that role he defended parents in dependency proceedings, the same DCFS and CPS matters the firm still takes today. That background gives the dependency side of the practice a clear line back to his earlier work.

Education

Puro earned a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Michigan-Flint in 2005. He then graduated cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. The English background is worth a note, since family law leans heavily on written declarations and briefs.

What the record shows

One detail on the firm's site carries more weight than most. Puro has obtained three reversals in the 2nd District California Court of Appeals in dependency matters. A reversal at the appellate level means a higher court set aside a lower court's ruling.

That is a concrete, checkable claim about appellate work, and it is uncommon for a small family firm to point to. As a reviewer, I read it as a sign that the firm is willing to carry a dependency case past the trial court when the facts call for it. Three separate reversals suggest this has happened more than once.

Where the firm works

The office is in Long Beach, and the firm's reach extends across two counties. It represents clients in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, and Orange County. The service areas it names include Seal Beach, Bellflower, Torrance, Whittier, Norwalk, Downey, Carson, and Monterey Park.

That spread covers a good part of the southern Los Angeles basin and into northern Orange County. For a family law client, geography counts, because custody and support cases are heard in local courts and often require repeat appearances.

How to start

The firm offers free consultations, which it lists on every page of its site. For someone weighing a divorce or a custody dispute, that first meeting is a low-commitment way to understand the options before deciding anything.

The firm keeps a presence on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. In my opinion, the clearest picture of this firm comes from its single focus and one attorney's long stretch in dependency work. It reads as a practice built around family law and the courts that decide it. The three appellate reversals remain the sharpest fact on the page.
