A real rockstar in the courtroom

Tyler has, for as long as we've had professional interactions, demonstrated that not only does he take on his client's cases, but that no matter the odds, he applies himself and all his great knowledge of the law to help you win! You're a lifesaver Tyler!

Highly recommend

Tyler assisted me when I was falsely accused of a serious crime and facing months of jail time. The judge dismissed all charges as soon as the state rested their case. Great attorney.

Excellent experience

I was referred to Mr. Haslam when an unexpected legal matter came up. He was friendly, competent and thorough, explaining both the good and bad possible outcomes. He showed concern about me and that meant a lot to me. He made me feel that I was just not another client. He was able to negotiate a fa...vorable outcome for me. I would not hesitate to hire him again if I needed an attorney.

Excellent

Tyler was quick to get down to business but also laidback and kept things straight when explaining everything to us. It was always so easy to get in touch with him whether be by phone or needing to meet with him. I would refer Tyler to anyone seeking legal advice. He has done a great job from the fir...st meeting with him to walking out of the courthouse after winning the case.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
