Rob Lyons
Founder
Kara Lyons
Attorney + Managing Partner
Working together since 2015 at Lyons & Lyons, Rob and Kara Lyons each bring skills that strengthen the work of their law firm for the community. A deep respect for each other allows his wisdom and her eye for the future to guide the business.
“The best thing about working with my dad is having a built-in mentor whose office connects right to mine,” Kara says. “I can go to him with any question or problem and know I’m getting the best advice. We have such a mutual respect for each other’s opinions that it allows our daily operations to run seamlessly.”
Rob has a long history of working with family. “I started a law firm in West Chester in 1983,” he explains. “In 1991, my father, also an attorney, came out of retirement and joined my law practice. We then practiced together for 12 years until he retired again in 2003. I thoroughly enjoyed the time we worked together.”
Fast forward to 2015 when Kara joined the firm with energy and fresh ideas. “Kara excelled in law school and had many job opportunities upon graduation, but ultimately she decided to join my firm,” says Rob. “I was ecstatic and hoped we would have the rewarding work relationship that my father and I had.”
“My dad was extremely receptive and open to allowing me to modernize our office and procedures without any pushback,” Kara says. “From day one, he trusted me inherently, which is the best stamp of approval I could ask for.”
Rob adds, “Since Kara started practicing with me, the law practice and I have become revitalized. It has been an absolute joy.”
