Terrific experience

After interviewing several attorneys based in the metro-Boston area I hired Tyler Summers for a divorce. At the time I had several events going on in my life including recovering from a significant accident and a move. In retrospect choosing Tyler was one of the best decisions of my life. He is a con...summate professional; always responsive, insightful, creative, ethical, supportive, and willing to connect his clients with other professionals (CPAs, life coaches, etc.). After working with Tyler to realize closure to my marriage I would certainly suggest his professional services and also personally utilize his services in the future.

Professional, Responsive, Personable

Tyler wrote a pre-nup for my partner and me. Throughout the process he was extremely helpful and responsive to my many questions. He was up-front about the costs and his fees were very reasonable. I can't imagine a better experience working with a lawyer. I would definitely recommend Tyler to my ...friends and associates.

Great attorney highly recommended!

Tyler was very easy to work with. He responded very quickly to emails and was up front about everything. Would definitely use him again for any future work.

Fabulous attorney!

Tyler- was amazing! He was the third person I had hired in trying to obtain a divorce peacefully and without breaking the bank. I had just fired my attorney for failure to accomplish anything for which I had hired them- and a friend recommended Tyler. From the initial consultation until the day of my... divorce hearing he was impeccable. Not only was he on top of each step to get the divorce papers filed, he was able to answer all my questions effectively. Moreover, he truly listened to me talk about the ins and outs of my failed marriage. When going through a divorce- it's more emotional sometimes and sometimes the answer to a question is more complicated than yes or no. I have dealt with attorneys who cut you off to try to get the easy answer and nothing more. Tyler listened even when my answer was emotional and unfocused. which in the end helped me process all of it much quicker and built the trust I needed in my attorney to get me through the process in one piece. In terms of his knowledge and expertise- he is fabulous. Not only does he know the law incredibly well he makes it easy to understand - he answers all your questions in a way that makes it easily understandable.

Friendly and efficient lawyer!

I used Tyler to help draft a separation agreement for my divorce. He was extremely helpful by answering all of my emails promptly and with detail. Anytime I spoke with him, He gave his full attention and took the time to explain things to me when necessary. I appreciated that I never felt like he was... rushing me or giving me “quick responses”. Every reply was genuine, caring and helpful! I would highly recommend Tyler for the job!

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)."
