Tyler Melling is an extremely intelligent lawyer, and is one who many other attorneys in the area turn to for advice when dealing with complex estate planning and probate issues. Hence, Tyler is a very reasonable person, which helps him to resolve many matters that other, less reasonable attorneys are often not able to resolve short of litigation, and as such, is well respected in the legal community--among other attorneys and in the courts as well.
Eric Checketts, Estate planning Attorney on Mar 20, 2018

Tyler is exceptional both in terms of his knowledge of the law as well as his commitment to serve. I have sought his assistance on a number of occasions in building my own practice, and he has always proven to be an invaluable mentor. I believe that Tyler's clients are getting the best service available.

I endorse this lawyer. I very much respect Attorney Melling’s efforts to supply useful and quality answers to the questioners. Too often answers are “talk to an attorney” when that advice was already given (and maybe multiple times). Attorney Melling most often includes real legal perspective and information to at least give the questioner some idea of the issues and possible solutions. I would easily work with him should I have a matter that involved his jurisdiction.
