Finally free from debt

As anyone knows filing for bankruptcy is never a easy decision. Kimberly Tyler made it easy for me. While other lawyers wanted as much money as they can get from me at such a rough time in my life. Ms. Tyler was reasonable in her price. She communicated with me and made me feel comfortable, told me w...hat I should expect in the proceedings and assured that all would be well. It is behind me now and I have Ms. Tyler to thank for it. I am finally able to relax and rebuild it feels wonderful. If I ever have any legal questions I would seek her opinion. She knows the system very well.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Suspension issued in NY, 2020

updated on 01/21/2021

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Suspension issued in NJ, 2018

updated on 06/03/2021

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2014

updated on 03/19/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Kimberly’s comment:

“I WAS ONLY REPRIMANDED ONCE IN 2014. REPRIMAND WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I THOUGHT CLIENT KNEW STATUS OF HIS CASE BUT HE DID NOT. TOLD HIM I WOULD WIN CASE AND I DID. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT MY CLIENTS ' BEST INTEREST.”

“I WAS ONLY REPRIMANDED ONCE IN 2011. REPRIMAND WAS DUE TO FACT THAT I COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH CLIENTS WHILE RECOVERING IN HOSPITAL FROM FIRE IN MY HOME. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT MY CLIENTS' BEST INTEREST.”
