F Clayton Tyler

If you're looking for a lawyer that doesnt talk the talk, be there when you need, honestly reassure you that things will work out, and take the time to really get to know you.......look elsewhere. I'll keep this short and to the points. This all in hindsight and reflecting through my ordeal. - Faci...ng felony charges so naturally scared and looking for guidance. - Initial meet - right away he boasted about beating 2 federal cases w/in 6mths. He also called his "contacts" and left multiple messages, for them to get back to him asap. Asked who my judge was. Told him who it was...got the "Oh really?!? Judge is good friend of mine. Known for years now". - Was sold the feeling that this lawyer will really listen to my story and do all he can for me. - NOPE! In the 2 yrs that my case lasted and +15k paid to him he met with me only 2 other times. Numerous attempts to meet with him but always told by secretary "Clayton is busy meeting other clients" or "He's in court". - prosecuters offered plea deal. He says don't take deal. Assured me he can get better deal but I'll have to take straight guilty plea. - At sentencing...not a single word out of his mouth asking for leniency or attempt to ask. - if there was any behind the scenes negotiations I was never told about them. - judge hands down my sentence. He's shocked that I didn't get the 8+ yrs. How was I able to get such a short sentence?!?! - during those 2 yrs I did what I had to do (rehab, court ordered classes, community volunteering, etc), meet w/ prosecuters on my own with no guidance from my "lawyer". Maybe if he'd taken time to meet more he would've seen who i am. Its obvious the judge saw! This guy just wants your money.
