About P. Tyler
Biography
From bespoke prenuptial agreements to skilled divorce representation, Tyler Summers has built his practice around a defining principle: providing the legal clarity and forward-thinking advocacy that transform uncertain family transitions into secure foundations for clients' next chapters.
His boutique firm focuses exclusively on prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and divorce matters, including contested litigation. Tyler also serves as a neutral mediator for couples seeking an amicable, out-of-court resolution. His work frequently involves substantial assets, business interests, trusts, inheritances, and other complex financial considerations. In his marital agreement work, Tyler combines legal acumen with strategic foresight, protecting clients’ financial interests while navigating sensitive personal and family dynamics with diplomacy.
Tyler’s work has earned significant professional recognition. Named a Super Lawyers Rising Star for eight consecutive years, from 2017 through 2024, he was selected to Super Lawyers in 2025 and 2026, an honor limited to 5% of Massachusetts attorneys. He also holds a “Superb” rating from Avvo.
Before establishing his firm in 2015, he refined his litigation skills at a prominent domestic relations firm and gained valuable judicial perspective through clerkships at multiple levels of Massachusetts trial courts. His experience at the U.S. District Court in Boston included exposure to high-profile cases requiring exceptional discretion, such as the proceedings against the Marathon bomber and James “Whitey” Bulger.
Tyler holds a Bachelor's degree from New York University and earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School, where he was inducted into the Phi Delta Phi international legal honor society. His law school experience included certification to represent the government in criminal matters and advocate for indigent clients in the Probate and Family Court. He is admitted to practice before all Massachusetts state and federal courts, including the Supreme Judicial Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

P. Tyler Summers's Lawyer Endorsements
"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)."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Summers on a post-divorce matter. Attorney Summers zealously advocated for his client while maintaining respect and courtesy. I found Attorney Summers to be highly professional and extremely easy to work with. I endorse him without hesitation."

There are not enough kind words to say about his work ethic, his dedication to his clients, his professional and approachable demeanor or his unrelenting case preparation. I give Tyler my highest endorsement and confidence as a extraordinary practitioner. He is a true gem."
"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."
"Simply said, Tyler is an outstanding divorce attorney. Highly recommended!"
"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. I highly recommend Tyler to anyone that has a need for representation in domestic relations matters."
"Tyler is friendly, professional, and diligent. He cares about meeting his clients' needs and stays collected under pressure. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."

"I endorse this lawyer. Tyler has worked in an extremely challenging field of law and his abilities are superb. He's also a person who cares and, most importantly, listens to clients. He's able to "flesh out" their needs and help provide them with workable solutions to their problems. I highly endorse Attorney Summers!"
