Passion, Responsible, Caring

Mr tyler, was on top of my case from the start. He was very professional and obviously Knows the law and how to debate legally. But besides him knowing not what to say or what to say, I really enjoyed how he listened to me and believed me, even when it felt the whole world was against me. He was smar...t and tactical, using the officers own foolish wording against them. Pressuring questions and forcing responses from the deputies that they did not want to answer. He's approach was perfect, smart, and planned always called made sure i was in the loop. Thank you Mr tyler, for justice

Outstanding A++ Representation

Derek M. Tyler was the absolute **best choice we could have made** for our case. From the initial phone call to the final time we shook hands, Derek was professional, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and reassuring. He always told us the truth, yet made us feel confident. Derek's experi...ence in his field and diligence with our case was fantastic. For anyone looking to have an attorney treat them like family, we would point you to Derek Tyler. If any of our family members or friends ever need help, we will be recommending Derek - for sure. We cannot thank you enough, Derek. Great job from beginning to end. We appreciate it ALL. A++
