Excellent Representation, Compassionate Attorney

I retained Mr. Tyler almost a year and half ago. My case was complicated by a slow moving DA and an "eleventh hour" filling. I was unfortunate enough to have caused a small bodily injury, so the DA filled the DUI as a felony. Ventura County is probably one of the worst counties to get a DUI and in... my estimation their system and penalties are extremely Draconian. That said, Mr. Tyler navigated a justice system for me in such a way that I got excellent results. He made sure that my case was heard by the "right" judge, advised me on how best to present myself and ultimately was instrumental in my potential Felony conviction and potential prison time being reduced to a Misdemeanor with minimum work furlough time. He has continued to help me through my Probation and how best to comply with the terms of my probation. During all of the legal "wrangling" Paul was supportive and empathetic to myself and my family. We had never found ourselves in this sort of position before and he was always available to explain how "things" worked and more importantly what I could expect. I never once felt overwhelmed or alone. I am very happy with the results that he achieved and would very earnestly recommend his services and talents to anyone that needs top notch legal representation. Thank You Again!

Thank you Kelly. We made the best out of a bad situation. When you are half way through probation call me and I will see about getting probation terminated early. Then we can get your case expunged.

Unprofessional

Paul Tyler was a very unprofessional attorney he never explained that I would lose my gun rights for life before my plea. If I would of knew i was going to lose them i wouldn't of taken the plea i would have fought my case all the way

I’m really sorry to read this review. One thing I always try to do is make sure that my clients always know what’s going to happen at every stage of their case. But I really wish you had contacted me sooner. This particular case is approximately 8 years old. Obviously I always take reviews seriously and I’m really sorry that there was something you did not understand about your sentence. However whenever someone pleads guilty you are required to read, sign and initial a very detailed waiver of constitutional rights form. One of the things that you initialed was a firearms advisement.. Additionally at the time of sentencing the judge stated on the record that your firearms rights were being taken away. Moreover after sentencing was complete you were given a detailed minute order outlining the terms of your sentence. One of the items in that minute order was an explanation that your fire arms rights had been taken away. Now that you are off of probation and the case is almost eight years old there is probably nothing that can be done. Had you contacted me immediately it might have been possible to withdraw your guilty plea. It is unclear but unlikely that a judge would allow you to withdraw your plea at this late stage. Again I wish you the best and I’m sorry that there was something that you didn’t understood despite the various advisements you were given when you pled guilty.
