A truly good person and attorney!

I know Tyler and his wife from church and have always considered him a truly good person. After talking to him briefly about our situation, he was most generous and willing to proceed to assist us. Everyone always thinks their situation is a little different than others, as did I, but he was well-ver...sed in knowing how to proceed so that we were able able move things along in a timely manner. He was very conscientious and caring throughout the process. And the cost was very reasonable. I definitely recommend Tyler.

Satisfied Client

We hired Tyler to restate our trust that we had put in place several years ago. He was very professional and personable. We felt comfortable asking him questions and he gave us answers in a way that we could understand. His knowledge made us feel secure in hiring him for our restatement. He took ca...re of our needs in a timely manner and we could not have been more pleased. Tyler and Mattie were both amazing to work with!

Probate without a Will

One of my brothers, who lived in the Norman area, passed away in 2015. We, another brother and I, were referred to Mr. Barrett, and stopped in to his office without an appointment. He was able to meet with us and despite not having time to prepare for us, was gracious enough to discuss how we could... settle probate for our deceased brother. My brother died without a will; I was established as the personal representative for his estate. Even though I live in California, Mr. Barrett assured us that he could manage the process effectively. Throughout the process, I was impressed with Mr. Barrett's calm manner, knowledge, as well as, his detailed and clear communication. Probate is a lengthy process and it was comforting to know I could count on quickly being able to talk with Mr. Barrett about any matters that arose. His advice and counsel was extremely beneficial during many stages of the proceedings including not only probate court matters, but also, the short-sale of my brother's house. I felt like I was in very competent hands the entire way. I highly recommend Mr. Tyler Barrett for anyone needing help with probate matters.

Probate and Will

Mr. Barrett was very helpful during a difficult time in our lives. We were not expecting to have to do a probate but he helped us in a very competent and kind manner. He also helped me with establishing a Will for my children and gave me options to choose from that would benefit my family. I wo...uld highly recommend him!!

Very Satisfied Client

My father was a resident of Oklahoma and passed away leaving me as executor of his estate. His estate was required to go through the probate courts and I am not a resident of Oklahoma. While doing a search of probate attorney's in Oklahoma City, I found a listing for Mr. Barrett and contacted him.... I set up an appointment and was greatly impressed with his professional manner and knowledge of the probate courts and procedures I would need to follow. I made the decision to retain him and it was a decision I will never regret. I was able to return to my home in another state and Mr. Barrett completed the probate proceedings in my absence and coordinated mailings to me and my sister who reside in the US and my brother who resides outside the US. While having an estate go through probate can be challenging, Mr. Barrett was able to make the experience manageable...something I greatly appreciated after the loss of my father. I would highly recommend Tyler R. Barrett to anyone seeking assistance with estate planning, probate or elder law. Thank you, Tyler.

"Sometimes life throws a curve ball to one of your clients that you just don't know how to deal with. When that happens, a trustworthy lawyer that specializes in that particular area of law is a godsend. Tyler is an asset to all the lawyers in his local area because he has a vast knowledge of probate law and experience that so many of us lack.
