Highly recommend Tyler

I had a really positive experience working with Tyler. From the start, he made sure I felt informed and supported, and he took the time to understand what mattered most to me. What stood out was how clearly he advocated for me throughout the prenup process. He was detail oriented, he looked out fo...r my best interests, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure I understood the implications of every decision. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and professionalism.

Look No Further

There's a reason that Tyler has the superlative reviews that he does on Avvo and elsewhere. His patience and professionalism are unparalleled. I experienced firsthand while working with him on a prenup that proved lengthier and more complicated than initially expected. Despite the challenges, Tyle...r remained committed to delivering the highest standards of legal advice up all the way until the prenup was signed and, in doing so, going far above and beyond the fixed fee we agreed upon initially. Oh, and the response times! Like lightning. I would recommend Tyler without reservation. Look No Further.

Great Prenuptial Help

Tyler has been incredibly helpful through the prenuptial process. He has consistently provided the support and knowledge that I was looking for. With each step, Tyler would provide times to schedule a meeting and discuss any issues or questions that I had, while also being very responsive to emails p...rior to meeting. Tyler also has a great personality, as he always brought a positive attitude and has a good sense of humor.

Fast replies and clear explanations

Tyler was the best throughout the very stressful process of drafting & finalizing my prenup. He emailed me back very quickly and followed up routinely. He laid out my options and fought back with the other attorney to defend my best interests. He is HIGHLY recommended by me!! Thank you so much!

Made it easy

Tyler did a great job of explaining the important nuances of the law as it applied to our case in a way that made it easy to understand. It was thorough without being pedantic, making it very clear what I needed to know and pay attention to while at the same time easing our minds regarding what we di...dn't need to worry about as much. He was always punctual, professional, and flexible. I highly recommend Tyler as an attorney to anyone considering one.

His knowledge family law, compassionate for clients, and appreciation for the intricacies of appellate litigation were refreshing.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 15

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tyler and I worked together on a rather contentious matter in which the Separation Agreement was on the verge of unraveling at several junctures. Throughout the many months it took to bring this matter to closure, Tyler was unfailingly creative, professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and courteous to my client. I am so grateful that he partnered with me throughout the arduous process to bring about a mutually agreeable resolution that was, as it should be, child-centric. I think it speaks volumes about Tyler that he was even willing to continue to hammer out the details of the settlement during weekend hours (on the eve of the court date)."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
