What a GREAT Lawyer

I was raided and charged with a felony for drug and gun possession. I had originally hired a different attorney who I thought wasn't doing a good enough job. I was facing a minimum maximum of 3 years and the prosecution wasn't giving any deals or reducing my time for a plea. I was afraid and des...perate!! A family member referred me to Clayton Tyler. The trial that was set up through my old attorney was coming up quickly, Mr. Clayton had the trial postponed and started to work on my case immediately. During our meetings, it was evident that he was very knowledgeable about drug and gun laws. It was also evident that he was well known in the county and state were I was charged. I was impressed by the amount of time that Mr. Clayton spent with me. During our many meeting he would calm my fears by letting me know that he is good at what he does and not to worry. During my different appearances in court Mr. Clayton was always there early to go over our plans so that I was calm and well prepared. I was still very afraid because I was facing 3 years in prison. It turned out that I was found not guilty on the part of the case that would have gotten me those three years in prison and I received a stay of adjudication on the other part of the case. So I ended up with NO jail time and as long as I stay out of trouble I will not have it on my record in a few years. I was so blessed to have Mr. Clayton as my attorney, I was facing a very tough prosecutor but he handled my situation very well. I look to Mr. Clayton as a mentor and even keep in touch with him periodically. I would definitely use Clayton Tyler again if necessary.

5th Degree Felony Drug charge and DUI

I was arrested early 2018 for a 5th degree drug violation and DUI in Hennepin county. The day I was released I vigorously began searching for an attorney, I made dozens of phone calls before with different attorneys before scheduling a consultation with Clayton Tyler. The Genuine honesty and impeccab...le knowledge he had to offer made him and ideal attorney for me and I am absolutely humbled by that. Clayton was able to get diversions for both of my charges meaning I didn't have to do anymore jail time and for this I am also greatful. I really appreciate the outstanding service and positive outcome from a very scary time in my life.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1992.

Suspension issued in MN, 1992

F’s comment:

“I was suspended for failing to pay my personal and employee taxes in a timely manner. However if you read the opinion I feel it was a favorable opinion of myself as an attorney.”
