Posted by Jordan | September 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Thorough, Knowledgeable, Fair

Tyler helped me successfully navigate through a tricky real estate deal with several outstanding claims against the title. I would readily use Tyler again in any legal dealings. He has my highest recommendation.

Contract consultation

I consulted with Mr. Topper over some legal aspects of a contract I was going into. Mr. Topper and his associates were very helpful in explaining to me what changes should be made to the contract And what risks were involved due to the contract wording. Mr. Topper helped me make a few quick changes ...to complete a contract on time without having to rework the whole contract.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
