About William

After graduating Law School, I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Houston, Texas, for 3 1/2 years where I learned how to try lawsuits. I prosecuted everything from misdemeanors to murders. Leaving the DA's office, I went into private practice handling most everything that came in the door.

In 1989, I was certified in two areas by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization-- Family Law and Civil Trial Law. I'm very proud of these certifications. The qualifications are restrictive and the exams were difficult. I've maintained these certifications by being re-certified every 5 years.

My proudest accomplishments are as a husband for 40 years to my best friend, father to three children and grandfather to three wonderful little girls.

Review William Tyler Moore Jr

Straightforward, no nonsense, effective and efficient.

When I was seeking an attorney for a child support modification, I was struck by the insistence of other attorneys on a ridiculous and costly initial consultation. I called Mr. Moore and in 10 minutes had engaged him and shortly thereafter had a retainer on the way to his office. He quickly accomplished my legal objectives, and more, with a minimum of fuss, unnecessary meetings and wasting time. I certainly try to avoid legal problems but, if necessary again, he would be my first call.

Great attorney, wealth of knowledge and experience. My wife hired a large law firm, Tyler immediately leveled the playing field and brought them to the table for a fair and just settlement. They did not want to go to court against Tyler. Extremely fair billing, I had a great overall experience, he knew how to handle everything. I will go back to him if I ever need more legal help.

Resolved a 20-year, multi-state and U.S. Territory Child Support issue

Mr. Moore has always been extremely professional throughout the entirety of my case. He was exemplary in ascertaining the critical information necessary for my case to proceed and also in the follow-up needed to gain that information. Mr. Moore was faced with having to work with two states and a U.S. Territory on a very difficult case involving debatable rulings and dated bookkeeping thus making the true amounts of child support owed very questionable at best. Some overseas OAG employees were challenging and evasive as he tried diligently to gain their cooperation. Many times the government employees overseas caused further unnecessary delays and greater confusion to an already complicated case. Mr. Moore was finally able to secure all the required information and proceed to a court hearing on the matter where a judge made a ruling. There is light at the end of this 20-year tunnel. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. William Tyler Moore as a trusted and dependable attorney to solve your challenges as he did mine.

Tyler handled my divorce case three years ago, and I could not be happier with the outcome. At the start, my situation looked very bleak: I was served with my wife’s divorce lawsuit on the day she left the state with my child, and she had hired an attorney who was probably the most expensive in the state. I quickly needed an experienced attorney and hired Tyler. By the end of the case, I had custody of my child, all of the provisions that were important to me, and a reasonable division of property. Tyler is compassionate yet tough, and I felt his advice was very sound. He was particularly adept at spotting elements of my case that were important to the court but which I didn’t think were remarkable; and also at steering me away from pursuing things that seemed important during the battle but would later prove unimportant. He is very responsive, usually returning calls or emails the same day. Although I hope to never need a family law attorney again, I would not hesitate to hire Tyler if the need arose. I recommend him without reservation.

Tyler Moore has represented me and my family over the course of some thirty five years and has always provided excellent and timely advise and counsel. Recently my wife and I discovered that our wills that were prepared by another attorney were far out of date as our circumstances and needs have evolved over the years. Tyler did an excellent job of following our requests and made very insightful suggestions to us to reduce or eliminate altogether any future issues with our estates and our choice of trustee. I heartily recommend Tyler Moore for any family law need!
