F Clayton Tyler

Clayton Tyler has been my lawyer for over 10 years. I've gotten into a lot of trouble over the years and Clayton has been there for me every time. He definitely knows what he's doing. He knows almost all the prosecutors and the judges (these relationships have been used to my advantage more than once...) I've seen him have private talks with the judges in there chambers many times. Clayton will give it to you strait up, he won't try and sugar coat your situation, he will keep it real with you. Other reviewers have said that after he gets your money he's hard to get a hold of, that IS NOT TRUE. He's not gonna call you every day to sooth your nerves, because he's busy working on your behalf, and negotiating with your prosecutor and your judge. I was never not able to get a hold of him. If he was with a client or in court, Nancy (who is a rockstar) would take a message and make sure he got back to me. Communication aside, the most important thing is outcome. I've had two separate felon in possession of firearm charges, one of them was for an assault rifle. On both of these cases Clayton got me downward departures. That means instead of the 5 year mandatory minimum for each charge, I was only sentenced to a year, meaning I only had to serve 8 months. You can't beat that! Downward departures are hard to get, let alone twice! I've also been charged with a drug felony for selling 1000 pills to a DEA informant. Once we got to court, Clayton got me a deal where I only had to serve two weekends. Two Weekends!!! That was it!! Doing this review is reminding me just how awesome and how much of a Pro, Clayton really is. You'd be a fool to hire anyone else. He's stretched out court dates, and gotten continuances almost as many times as I've wanted. Even when I've messed things up by dropping dirty UA's and not following conditions of release(which I wouldn't reccomend), he was STILL able to secure favorable outcomes for me. I've used Clayton for small things like child support and DWI, as well as more serious things like drug charges and gun charges, etc. And every time he has met and exceeded my expectations. I've seen Clayton in court, get up in front of the judge and deliver an Oscar winning performance on my behalf. He does not like to lose, nor does he like his clients to do any jail time. I remember a time where I was sentenced to like 20 or 30 days in jail, an outcome I was pleased with, but Clayton was mad because I had to do any time at all. He genuinely cares about his clients. There's so many other little, and nuanced things that Clayton does which makes him the best. All I can say is if you want the best possible legal representation you can get, without question go with F. Clayton Tyler

I had a DWI issue and I initially retained a highly referred lawyer who is listed as a 10.0 Avvo rating from this site for DWIs. The initial lawyer could not get my charges reduced. By miracle, someone referred me to Clayton Tyler. Clayton got charges reduced to careless driving and dropped. I r...an into another legal manner (criminal) where the prosecutor was brutal with this case. I immediately contacted Clayton for legal assistance. Clayton got those charges dismissed (not on the record). Here is my disclaimer about Clayton: Clayton is brutally honest. After hearing your situation, he will assess the situation will present you what the law states. It may not be what you want to hear (he will tell you the truth). Afterwards, Clayton will immediately work out a winning strategy. Because of his superior knowledge, legal experience and great respect that judges, prosecutors, law officials, and other attorneys have for Clayton (key note to look when reviewing lawyers is years of experience as well as reviews), there is an excellent chance you will have a favorable ruling with your case (e.g. - charges dismissed). Going through the legal system was one of the scariest situations I ever faced. I could not have any criminal charges (e,g, - DWI charges) as it would have destroyed my career. Clayton Tyler and his entire staff is one of the most professional and caring staff you will ever encounter. Clayton is considered a rock star in the MN criminal attorney arena (highly respected in the legal community). Thus, he can handle all types of criminal law issues. He handled my DWI issue with ease (and WAY better than my initial attorney). If you have a criminal legal issue, you will want to talk and retain Clayton Tyler. He is one of the best (if not the best) attorney out there.
