This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Workers compensation

I was overwhelmed after I got hurt at my job, when I found this attorney! With his knowledge of the law, he stood up for my treatment, care of injuries, and lost wages. The big company I worked, and workmans comp did not have my best interests only their own. But Mr Tyler Lee "held their feet to the ...fire" to help this little one.

Excellent decision

I was injured at work, and at first I wasn't going to pursue a worker's comp case, because I was uncertain of my rights and how the case would be handled. Mr. Lee explained the entire process to me and I was updated constantly with information pertaining to my case. Hiring Mr. Lee was absolutely the ...best decision I could have made.

Dedicated

It was the right decision to hire Mr. Lee. He immediately started work on my case contacting all involved on my behalf including the police. He handled everything in a timely fashion, contacted me with regular updates regarding my case and made himself available for questions. Driving is a large p...art of my job and this car accident could have negatively impacted my career and life. Mr Lee had the case against me dropped and my driving record cleared. His professionalism and dedication was paramount. Thank you again Mr. Lee.

A great lawyer!!!

I visited Tyler for a workman's comp injury. He was awesome right from the start. I really felt that he was looking out for me in every way. He kept me aware of everything that was happening, and why. Everything he did was explained very clearly, and he made sure I was comfortable with every choice t...hat I made. He reviewed every alternative with me, and I felt that all his advice and actions were sound. It was like I had a friend who was a lawyer.

Avvo Rating

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.
