This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Immigration Attorney

Great attorney. I have consulted with him on multiple DUI cases for people with immigration matters pending and he is always quick to answer and provides great solutions.

Posted by Kenneth | May 9, 2022 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Tyler Kent lied to me to induce me to accept an arbitration settlement offer.

Tyler Kent represented me in an automobile injury case that was clearly open and shut. The accident affected every area of my life. In August2018 we went to arbitration to avoid trial which could have been easily won. He told me that I wasn't obligated to pay any liens granted other attorneys against... the settlement if I settled in arbitration I could pay those debts as I saw fit. So when the settlement check came Tyler carved out an extra large portion for himself - not even allowing me expenses to get to the arbitration or allowing for bills to the doctors in the case and then carved up the balance to other lawyers. I would have never taken the settlement by arbitration had he told me otherwise, he knew that, and outright lied to me to get me to accept the settlement. He never found me the medical care he promised and I would advise avoiding Tyler Kent at all costs.
