Posted by Matthew Ferris | June 16, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

His Staff is a reflection of Mr Tyler

I hired this firm in September of 2024 for the safety of my youngest daughter due to rape charges, a suicide attempt, alcohol and drug use, domestic violence from the mom and her boyfriend (since won't confirm married). I was told the suicide attemp wasn't soon enough for them to do some Exparte(?)... and would be able to if had already hired them when occurred. My daughter did have a second suicide attempt that went unaddressed after hiring his firm and wasnt ever part of our readon for full custod. Imagine men if you were the primary custodian and your child had two suicide attempt don't you think you'd lose custody immediately?! If a man told his ex that he hoped his current girlfriend "found her beat her and watched her die.." to their minor daughter don't you think an attorney would also take that seriously? Not Mr Tyler and his firm. His response was "well I don't want to make her upset and not negotiate". Not sure why Mr Tyler himself did not take that comment very seriously? Not to mention Mr Tyler and his firm wasn't able to get a court date and actually get before a judge for over 9 months. Heather actually stopped making future court dates and when asked why she began to softly advise that I allowed the case to time out. I was confused as to why and advised I never asked her to stop making court dates. She quickly had one set within a few hours after being stagnant for 2 months. Both Heather and Mr Tyler had three years of paystubs, Tax returns and W2. Less than a week before another court date Heather emailed me her negotiations and calculations on what I should be paying in child support. They both calculated my annual income by more than $32k. I have the emails to prove it that she said I should be happy with the amount of child support because according to her "math is math". She negotiated I pay the same in child support as I actually take home after all deductions. I even being charged for not providing medical benefits when I have been for years. After Mr Tyler called a few days later asking him to review Heathers miscalculations he as well called using the incorrect calculation as well. I had to basically tell him that the one time not guaranteed bonus i provided the separate paystubs and disclosed that to all of them he oddly still called using a YTD meth without extracting the one time payment over 12 months. Math is math I agree and him and his firm negotiated my income $8900 gross and $6500 net. We had less than a half business day to the court date and me asking Mr Tyler sone basic questions and that it felt very unprofessional and unprepared he said I was making accusations and that Monday he would file a motion to have himself removed from my care. 8 months not one actual court date and he oddly is able to have the date originally set to correct my child support changed to being removed? I know my legal rights as a client and legally that is not supposed to be done in haste or emotionalily. He tried to claim I asked him to be removed and I did not. I told the judge Mr Tyler told me he wasn't having me question him and he was removing himself. He had no viable response. His staff is rude, Heather was 30 minutes late to our first consultation and was always short and demeaning. They negotiated more for opposing counsels than me interest and finances and fathers rights. I did not get one thing accomplished and wasted my money for sure. I am inquiring with a attorney that helps those that feel they might have recourse in malpractice court? If anyone has experienced the same then do the same and look for a firm that will protect your rights if ever his client as well. Know your rights!

Tyler is one of the best.

Tyler was my second attorney (I should have hired him first) during my divorce, I thought it would be a simple prospect to divorce my wife who had turned into a Monster. I was wrong... I met with multiple attorneys, who all say "I'm the best and can get you everything" -Run from those guys... I met... with Tyler, and he gave me a straight answer... even when I was frustrated, and a horrible client, he stuck by me. ultimately, the divorce was a complicated all out WAR with a business involved and many different assets. Tyler got me through it... I will continue to use Tyler for my business endeavors, since finding good, trust worthy, legal counsel, is hard to come by.

Great estate attorney

Mr. Monahan handled our mother's estate when she died. It was rather complicated and he was both knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. He was never too busy to take our phone calls or to sit and explain issues to us. We would definitely use him again in any other legal matter. ...After the estate was settled we had him write new wills for us.
