Best lawyer I've ever used

I've had a few lawyers for a few different cases, pricing was fair and I got the representation that I needed. I would recommend Tyler to anyone in need of a down to earth defense attorney.

Excellent job - Child Custody Case

Our family needed a lawyer after we lost two loved ones in a car accident and there were children left behind without a will determining custody. Our emotions were raw and we were shell shocked from what just happened, but we had to deal with what became a messy legal battle for custody of a minor. ... Our custody battle lasted about two years. It was messy and grueling, and long and stressful — and, in the end the outcome was in our favor. Tyler fought hard to protect our child, whose life had been shaken by a tragic loss — he and his staff were phenomenal. When we started, we didn’t know anything about the legal process and he carefully laid out the process for us, in a very realistic and thorough way. His guidance and advice was on point, his pricing and billing was fair and honest and our family is forever grateful to him for fighting the fight and staying the course for us. Tyler Pennington, truly cares about his clients and fights hard for them — I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer

Tyler has been my lawyer for several years in a complex case. He is always well prepared and does his homework on my case. He is impressive and well respected in the court room. His staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who. Glad to have him on my side.

Great attorney with morals

Tyler represented me in a deceptive trade practices claim and a breach of contract suit. He was a staunch supporter of my position and helped me reach an amicable settlement with having to go to court. He is both trustworthy and thorough. I have already recommended his services to others.

Better than expected!

I first met Tyler, and his staff, the summer of 2015. My ex filed for custody of our son, and he was over $19,000 behind in child support. My ex has always been very aggressive and intimidating. Tyler, and those in his office, took care of everything for me. I felt comfortable every step of the w...ay. If there was something that I didn't understand, things were explained and my nervousness was put to ease. I have spoken to other attorneys before, and never felt like they were really on my team, until now. Tyler was aggressive, yet fair. I appreciated that he was honest with me about the case. (If there was something I wanted, or didn't want, he never gave me false hope.). By the end of things, I ended up winning my case, and walked away with more than I expected. I am more than pleased with the work done by Tyler, Jessie, and Geoff. I will forever be greatful!!
