Lee Hoyle

Partner

Robert came to law as a second career committed to the idea that excellent skill, knowledge, and representation are not just a goal, but an absolute requirement.  As Managing Partner of KPM LAW’s Fairfax Office, Robert put together and manages an aggressive team of litigation professionals committed to aggressive, efficient and responsive promotion of client interests.

Robert focuses his practice on the defense of large loss and complex commercial and construction claims, contract disputes, professional and business liabilities, commercial transportation accidents, and premises liability, as well as insurance coverage analysis and litigation.  He has tried numerous cases in both state and federal courts and has successfully argued in the appellate courts of Virginia, Maryland and the Fourth Circuit.

After graduating from the University of Virginia, Robert received a full scholarship to study opera at the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.  He sang for ten years on stages from the east coast to Chicago before returning to law school at the College of William and Mary, where he took second place in William Mary’s National Moot Court competition and was a member of the I’Anson-Hoffman Inns of Court.  Robert is happily married and also manages his boy-girl twins and a wonderful mixed-breed, rescue dog.

Lee grew up in Memphis working for his family’s window business. The experience taught him that client satisfaction is the highest goal, sometimes you have to get a little creative when things go wrong, and an attic in Memphis during the summer is about the worst place to have to work. Lee brought the work ethic and dedication he acquired on the job to the University of Richmond, where he immediately fell in love with language and argument. He majored in Philosophy and Political Science, competed on the Policy Debate Team, and studied both Spanish and German.

As soon as Lee entered law school he realized that he wanted to be in litigation. He competed in both trial advocacy and moot court, including receiving an Oralist Award in the Jessup International Moot Court Competition his second year. After graduation he found his home at KPM LAW, rapidly gaining courtroom experience in state and federal courts across Virginia. He works tirelessly for his clients to obtain the best result, while also providing strategic guidance to help recognize what the goal for each particular case should be.

Today Lee and his wife Sarah spend most of their time chasing after their five daughters. Lee tries to get his girls to appreciate sports from soccer to basketball and enjoys coaching the teams when they agree to play. He also attends innumerable dance recitals when they go a different direction.
