Detailed, Approachable, and Dedicated

I worked with Tyler over the course of several weeks to write, modify, and complete a premarital agreement document. As a physician, I value timeliness and attention to detail, and Tyler did not disappoint. He was always available via phone, email, or video call to discuss the documents and provide u...nbiased guidance based on his experience as an attorney. He is a strong advocate for his clients, and will go to bat for them when needed. I strongly recommend him for any legal representation.

Review

Tyler was great during the prenup process. He explained the prenup paperwork in great detail and he eased my anxiety related to the prenup process. I would definitely recommend Tyler for both family and friends.

Highly Recommend

I was hesitant to hire a lawyer for my divorce since my situation seemed fairly straightforward. I mostly just didn’t want to be in contact with my ex. Tyler was excellent. He’s competent and compassionate. There were several instances where I just know I would have made errors if I had gone it alone.... He made the whole process as painless as it could be. He’s very quick to respond. Highly recommend.

Child Support Modification / College Costs

I hired Tyler and his firm for help modifying child support and the allocation of college costs. Although I found him on the internet, I was impressed by his many reviews – all of which I can now confirm are completely accurate. Tyler and his team were fantastic from Day 1. He knew precisely what to ...do to achieve my goals. I was kept informed every step of the way. He has a unique way of being able to explain legal concepts in simple terms that everyone can understand. He is very familiar with the law, the court system, the judges, etc. He was also great at negotiating with my ex-husband’s attorney. Most importantly, he was always honest with me when maybe my expectations weren’t super reasonable – he always brought me “back to reality” in a respectful way. I am so thankful to have found Tyler and team, thank you!

Phone Consultation - Post Nuptial agreement.

I was looking to prepare a post-nuptial agreement. I reached out to Mr. Tyler and he set up an appointment for a phone call. During the call, he was very informative, knowledgeable and honest. He listened to my situation carefully and explained to me what terms can/cannot go into a post-nuptial agre...ement. I was impressed by how patiently he answered my questions to the right depth and with understandable language. Even though it was not to his benefit, he advised me to not go for a post-nuptial agreement at this time.

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)."
