In 2010 Kyle became a one-third owner of the law firm, now known as HKK Law Offices Family Law (www.hkklawoffices.com). Kyle’s practice shifted to family law sometime around 2018, as more and more people called seeking his assistance. Kyle became fascinated with all the financial information he discovered while representing individuals in divorce matters and financial disputes between former significant others. He started to study more thoroughly on the issues of real estate, business, taxes, and more.
Today, Kyle’s law practice focuses entirely on family law, including divorce, maintenance, child support, paternity, property division, child custody, adoption, termination of parental rights, guardianship and more.

In 2021 Kyle created an online weekly meetup event called the Meaningful Ideas Trading Club. Kyle hosts the program and invites others to share and mastermind on ideas related to personal and business development.
Outside of business, Kyle and Sunny have 6 children, and they enjoy spending their time with their family.
Joel Pipkorn is a licensed real estate agent and investor in Wisconsin, a serial entrepreneur nationwide, and a low-key rock star in the Milwaukee music scene. Born and raised in rural Ozaukee County, Joel was instilled with a strong work ethic early on. Working in the farm community from a young age gave Joel a special appreciation for land and the financial opportunities owning real estate provides. Over the years, Joel has developed a passion for improving distressed property, city development, and providing quality housing.
While attending college at UW Oshkosh, Joel started his first business as a direct sales representative for Vector Marketing. Joel worked his way up to the position of District Manager, opened his own office, hired staff, and recruited and trained a sales force of over 30 representatives. During this time, Joel purchased his first rental property in 2007 and entered the real estate investment arena as a new landlord.
After graduating from college, Joel spent some time as a general contractor, and in 2012 began to build a wholesale food distribution company, Rojos Popcorn. Joel merged his company with two other Midwest businesses and grew to include several distribution locations, a fleet of vehicles, a delivery territory from Green Bay to Chicago, and a national chain of distribution.
As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, Joel experienced a major decline in the food service business. He took this tragedy as an opportunity to obtain his Wisconsin Real Estate License and become a Realtor under the Kramer Real Estate Group in Sheboygan. Since then, Joel doubled his real estate portfolio to over 60 units and continues to grow his portfolio while managing fix and flips and assisting buyers and sellers as a Realtor. Joel’s latest project is a new development of 20 town home condos in Sheboygan.
Joel is also the proud owner and founding member of Detour, a Milwaukee based cover band and entertainment company. Joel coordinates DJ and emcee services and can be found playing lead guitar with Detour at summer festivals, weddings, and corporate events.
In his spare time, Joel likes to stay active outdoors with his two kids. Camping, boating, skiing, and traveling are a few things they enjoy doing together.
