Great lawyer and great experience!

I worked with Tyler for my prenup contract. Tyler was friendly, efficient, punctual- an absolute pleasure to work with. He quickly drafted something for me within a day of me filling a questionnaire. Within a couple weeks we iterated 2-3 drafts, until the terms and conditions are optimal to my liking..., and everything was done without any hassle. He was patient to answer all my questions about legal jargons (I'm a complete layman), and has a very quick turn-around time to re-draft according to what we decided after short phone conversations. He also worked out very well with the legal representative of my soon to be wife. Additionally, I find the price Tyler charge to be very reasonable. I highly recommend Summers Family Law for anybody who is looking for a seamless experience for this type of contracts.

The best lawyer!

Couldn't recommend Tyler more. I hired him to review my prenuptial agreement and he did the greatest job I could ever expect, always replying emails very quickly and answering my questions which was super helpful for my final decisions.

Worked with Tyler for a PreNup

... and he was excellent. Starting the search for a lawyer before my wedding I was pretty hesitant - I was concerned about making a mistake and working with a jerk (runaway fees, etc.) I found Tyler online, reached out, and have had fantastic experiences with him from start to finish. We did t...he whole prenup on a flat rate, and in the end I'd say it was a great deal - Tyler worked hard for me, responded extremely fast even at weird hours, did multiple revisions at no extra cost, and was active in educating me in the legal terms we were establishing in the document. I met him in person in his office (not strictly necessary but I'm glad I did): he's a nice, warm person who clearly takes his work seriously. The joke at the end of the prenup process is "I hope I never see you again" (ie, it would be in a divorce setting), but if there was any reason to, I'd absolutely work with Tyler again.

Helpful & responsive

Tyler helped draft a prenuptial agreement for me. He was patient and helpful in answering all my questions about the document. I also appreciated how quick he was in responding to emails.

Tyler guided me through a contentious divorce involving a restraining order, real estate and a pension. Thanks to Tyler I am able to stay in my home with my children through their graduations from college. This was a big win for me! My retirement was left untouched. Tyler was responsible, reasona...ble and kind! I was always able to contact him with any issues, questions or concerns easily and quickly by phone, text or email. He provided both expert legal advice and emotional support to me during this difficult time! Don't be dissuaded by his age-he runs circles around older attorneys! I would recommend him highly!

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)."
