Highly Recommended!

I hired Tyler to assist with a prenup. From the very first meeting, Tyler laid out clear timelines and expectations, which made the process simple to follow. Then, Tyler was responsive throughout the process, even agreeing to calls on Sunday when needed. Throughout the process, Tyler provided h...elpful recommendations and made the process clearer than I expected. As a result, I highly recommend Tyler!

Great lawyer!

Tyler was incredibly easy to work with. He is responsive, fast, thorough, and explains legal concepts quite well.

Excellent Attorney for my Prenup

Provided excellent service and help during the creation of my prenup. He brought invaluable expertise and clearly laid out all my options. I would recommend him to anyone.

Professional, knowledgeable, and helpful drafting prenuptial agreement

Tyler was a pleasure to work with throughout the prenup drafting process. When me and my future wife first spoke with Tyler, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted from a prenup and even less knowledge about the legal landscape and norms surrounding prenup agreements. Although we hadn't yet decid...ed to hire him, Tyler patiently and comprehensively answered all of our questions. Based on this favorable first impression, I hired Tyler to draft the initial agreement. We had a subsequent, private call to discuss my values and goals for the prenup. Tyler made helpful suggestions based on his legal experience while never being judgmental, such that I felt my goals were fully laid out, discussed, and incorporated. He then quickly created an initial draft that accurately reflected what we had discussed. We then iterated this draft between Tyler and my future wife's lawyer, which involved additional video calls with Tyler. Throughout this back-and-forth process, I felt that Tyler was in my corner while also making sure that we would have a signed agreement at the end of the day. Tyler was always very responsive on email, so I never felt I was left hanging at any time during the process. As someone in a quantitative profession, I was impressed by Tyler's ability (and willingness) to discuss the precise numbers and various options we could write in. At some point, this involved some algebra being done on the Zoom whiteboard... When we started the process, it was important to us to not break the bank getting a prenup drafted, but it was difficult to find much information on legal costs. As a result, several "online" services for prenup drafting (advertising low prices) were enticing. Ultimately, we were lucky to find Tyler through a mutual friend's recommendation. Tyler's fee ended up being very competitive, and definitely more than worthwhile for the quality of his services and the assurances of a well-crafted agreement. I would highly recommend Tyler to anyone needing a prenup agreement.

Great for Pre-nups!

Tyler was amazing throughout the pre-nup process! The rate was fair, and he put together what I think was a really smart and practical agreement that respected both sides. He was able to adjust how quickly he turned things around in order for us to get it executed two weeks before our wedding. He was... also super adaptable to my partner's lawyer. Will definitely be going back to him in the future for any family law needs.

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)."
