"Tyler and I were opposing counsel on a highly contested matter. I found Tyler to be easy to work with and with his help we were able to get an equitable agreement for the parties. It would be a pleasure to work with Tyler again in circumstances permit."
"Attorney Summers consulted with me about an interlocutory appeal concerning child support. His knowledge family law, compassionate for clients, and appreciation for the intricacies of appellate litigation were refreshing. I very much enjoyed talking with Attorney Summers and look forward to our next opportunity to work together."
"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)."

"Attorney Summers and I had the pleasure of working together on a litigious child support modification. Attorney Summers was professional and kind in all aspects of the case despite the contentious nature of our clients. I would certainly not hesitate to refer clients to him or consult with him on legal issues if needed. I strongly endorse Attorney Summers."
"Tyler held a forum at Suffolk University and was incredibly informational. I endorse Tyler as an outstanding Family Law attorney."
"Tyler is a caring and skillful attorney who effectively brings both empathy and acumen to his practice. I absolutely endorse this attorney."
"Tyler and I were in the same Section and Legal Writing class in law school where I immediately noticed his innate ability to analyze legal issues and take thoughtful and insightful positions. Since graduating, we have remained in contact and I have seen Tyler grow into a driven, zealous, and extremely capable young attorney. His ability to see the bigger picture, identify the issues, and take strong positions for his clients makes him an excellent advocate.
