Guardianship and Adoption Success!

Counselor Tyrell helped us through a very scary guardianship and adoption process. We had never been through anything like that before and the waters were extremely difficult to navigate as we worked to get all the necessary documents, signatures, interviews and court orders in place. Adopting a chil...d, especially a child with which you've bonded, can be incredibly stressful and worrisome because until it is all done there is the constant fear some agent or agency may deny your application for a myriad of possible reasons! Add our unfamiliarity with the adoption process as a whole and you get the fearful, frantic couple that was us for the 3 years that it took to complete the adoption. The difficulties stemmed from the number of transactions that needed to take place between the State of Nevada, our daughter's birthplace and the current location of the birthparents which encompassed 3 different states altogether. Counselor Tyrell was very thorough and precise in providing guidance to us and helping us meet every requirement put forth by all jurisdictions/agencies involved! She was accommodating and informative EVERY step of the way. She held our hand through the entire process and was our constant rock when we would have bouts of discouragement! Her determination and concern for the success of our adoption application was clearly genuine to us. She became far more than just legal counsel. She became family to us and it's a relationship we will continue to maintain for the rest of our thankful lives! We cant say enough about her competence, drive, character, and compassion! Counselor Tyrell is everything we could have hoped for in a lawyer and in a friend affectionately known by our daughter as "Auntie Elyse"! My family greatly recommends her and the entire law firm of Trent, Tyrell & Associates!!

Adoption

The adoption of our grandchild was a very emotional and stressful time for my wife and me. We consider ourselves very fortunate that Elyse Tyrell was our attorney in this matter. We found Elyse to be not only extremely competent and professional in handling the legal aspects of our case but also ve...ry caring and compassionate during a difficult time for us. Taking into account that it was necessary for me to retire in order to stay home and care for a 7 year old child, Elyse did much of the work pro bono. I highly recommend Elyse Tyrell and would not hesitate to seek her counsel if the need should ever arise again.

Professional office and staff

I had a great experience with Mrs. Tyrell and her staff. She put together my advance directive and living will prior to the birth of my baby. She answered my questions and made me feel comfortable with decisions made. Her and her staff were efficient and timely with putting together the documents and... recording them. I would definitely recommend her and her staff .

Estate planning

Elyse Tyrell was outstanding. She assisted my wife and I with our estate planning. She created out trust and put together a very professional package for us. Both she and her staff were complete professionals and explained everything throughout the process. I could not have been more pleased. I ...will be staying in touch with Ms. Tyrell for her assistance when I need to change or update my trust in the future. I am very happy that Elyse Tyrell was my attorney and would recommend her to anyone looking to put their affairs in order.

Outstanding Attorney

Elyse is an outstanding attorney. We hired her in 2012 to handle the settlement of my wife’s mother’s estate. Unfortunately, another beneficiary of the estate was being difficult with the settlement of the estate and the distribution of assets was subsequently delayed. Elyse stepped in to protect my ...wife’s rights and we were highly impressed for multiple reasons. First of all, Elyse is simply a very good attorney who knows her stuff. She is very knowledgeable in the area of probate and trust matters, and this served us well. Secondly, Elyse is tough and committed. She tenaciously followed through on what needed to be done to seek justice in this matter despite the other parties’ attempted delays and excuses; she did not let them get away with any of it. Finally, Elyse’s communication skills and responsiveness are outstanding. She always communicated clearly, very quickly, and in a concise nature to swiftly get to the root of a particular issue. Given the aggressive and highly adversarial nature of the opposing party, her rapid responses and strength of resolve made a huge difference. In the end, justice was served. We were so impressed with Elyse that we have since hired her as our personal trust attorney. She has served us well in the years since and continues to do so to this day.
