About Paul

I have been practicing criminal defense in Ventura County California since I graduated from law school in 1996. I believe in charging a fair price for personalized service specific to your case and your needs.  I always try to provide the following:

  • Honesty about your case and what your chances are 
  • Personalized service specific to you and your case
  • Giving you total access to me everyday of the week
  • Expecting that all of your phone calls will be returned promptly
  • That I will deliver exactly what you are promised
  • At all times you will be kept fully informed about the status of your case

In other words...you are not my "client", you are my "customer".

I pride myself on personalized service and being available to you 24/7. I am local. I grew up in Ventura County and that is where I handle the vast majority of my cases.

Because I have appeared in the Ventura Courts almost everyday for the past 19 years I know the local judges, prosecutors and court staff better than almost anyone. In fact, I have appeared more than 19,000 times in the Ventura County courts.

If you are interested in discussing your case with me please free to call me at 805-366-3588.  I will answer the call myself.

      Review Paul Tyler

      You Won't find a better attorney in Ventura County

      Posted by

      Paul Tyler has been my Attorney for 10 years now and he continues to impress me by going above and beyond my needs. He does not call me to let me know he did something, Paul is the type to just get it done and does not seek praise for it or waiste his valuable time trying to convince people he is a great lawyer. His past speaks for itself.

      So glad that I contacted Paul Tyler! True Experienced Professional! Highly recommend!

      I am so glad that I hired Paul Tyler to represent me! He took on my case last minute, two days before the court date. Only someone with extensive experience would take on a case that close to the date and the fact that he did shows true dedication to his profession. He was very genuine, sincere and professional through his correspondence and explained very clearly how he would defend me. I had been charged with public drunkenness 647(f) PC. He got my case completely dismissed which was the best possible outcome and I could not be happier. So thankful and grateful for Paul Tyler being a true professional and going above and beyond defending me and getting my case dismissed!

      I received a speeding citation in Oxnard and was referred to Paul by a friend. He took on my case and was direct and professional. The case was dismissed and I did not receive a point on my driving record. Thanks Paul!!!

      Professional and committed to getting you the best outcome

      Posted by

      I Was arrested For Public Intoxication. I simply chose to walk home instead of driving home and was stopped due to it being early AM. Upon being released I was worried and confused on how this would effect me and my family. I called several lawyers who acted like my charge didn’t need to be represented. Coming home one day from work I grabbed my mail and received a letter from Paul around his services. Called him and he gave me straight forward info and a fair price. Upon hiring he gave me what the worse outcome would be and best outcome (which was dismissal). After a long drawn out situation with the DA not having info about my case he was able to get my case dismissed. I thank Paul for taking my case after so many other lawyers brushed it off as no big deal. Thank You for your help

      Great lawyer

      Posted by

      He worked diligently to get my case dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor with no jail time, no probation and no fines which at the beginning of the case was a huge long shot. Highly recommend Mr. Tyler. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

      THE BEST THERE IS !!!!

      Posted by

      Paul reduced my two felonies to misdemeanors and fought real hard to allow me to maintain my integrity. He was extremely professional and sincere and when I called him he would answer his phone and answer all my questions. He did everything in his power to stand up in the court and fight for my rights. Thank You Paul for everything you did to keep this situation at a minimal damage case. Thank you for being sincere, caring and a friend

      Paul Tyler's response: Thank you Mohsen! I enjoyed meeting you and I’m really glad I could help you.

      Wow. Thank you! All of my cases got Expunged.

      Posted by

      About 15 years ago I was a different person. I was convicted of 7 different charges relating to my drug use at the time. Three of these were felonies. I have had problems getting jobs since then with all of this on my record. I came across an article online written by Paul Tyler about expungements. So I hired him and he went to court and got all of the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and all of the cases expunged. I had no idea this was possible. Plus his fee was very reasonable. Thank you for everything! I will always refer my friends and family to you if they ever get in trouble.

      Could'nt have asked for a better lawyer

      I don't wish a DUI on anyone but if you make a mistake like I did, then there is not better person to help you through the process than Paul Tyler. Getting a DUI is scary in so many ways and Paul kept me at ease. He handled everything and kept me informed. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He got me the best outcome possible and I couldn't be more grateful. Don't go through this without him. You definitely want someone like him on your team.
