If you've been arrested in Ventura County, here is what matters: the decisions made in the first few days shape everything that follows, and the lawyer making them should know this county's courts cold. That is what I offer. I have practiced criminal defense exclusively in Ventura County for 30 years — more than 20,000 personal appearances in the Ventura County courts, nearly every working day since the 1990s. I grew up here, my office has been in Oxnard for over 20 years, and I know the local judges, prosecutors, and court staff as well as anyone practicing today.
My career began inside the most famous criminal trial in American history: as a law clerk to Judge Lance Ito, I spent nine months on the O.J. Simpson case, researching the admissibility of the DNA evidence at its center. Thirty years later, that is still how I defend cases — by attacking the evidence: the stop, the search, the breath machine, the lab work.
I charge a fair, flat fee, quoted up front before you hire me. And I promise every person who does:
Honesty about your case and what your chances really are
Total access to me, every day of the week — you will have my cell number
Calls answered by me, not staff
Exactly what you were promised, delivered
Full information at every stage of your case
In other words: you are not my "client," you are my "customer."
I handle all criminal matters in Ventura County — DUI, drug charges, theft, domestic violence, assault, serious felonies. On all misdemeanors, I appear in court for you, so you never miss work. And many Ventura County misdemeanors can be resolved through judicial diversion and dismissed with no conviction — it's one of the first things I evaluate in every case.
When you call I will answer the phone myself, and the consultation is free.

Paul's definitely a great attorney
My family was very fortunate to meet Paul almost a year ago and retain him to help my son who was in a very difficult situation to say the least.The story is too long to get into with many extremely tough moments along the road for him.Paul never wavered in his continuous support with the legal task ...
Thank you Doug. It was a long road that is for sure! But things worked out well for your son. I am glad I could help him. Please keep me posted and let me know that he continues to do well.

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...
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.

He got my case dismissed! Awesome attorney
For anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney in Ventura County look no further than Mr. Tyler. I got a DUI and was referred to him by my friend. He saved my license and my job.
Not having your drivers license can be a deal breaker. Fortunately, you weren't guilty and we were able to show that.
