THE BEST THERE IS !!!!

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 right...s. 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 saved my life!

My name is Randall Mcclung. I was in jail for possetion & under the influence. I am a former navy seal with untreated PTSD. I self medicated after veitnam to forget what happened. Mr. Tyler took my case & got me on the right track. Without Paul's help I would probably be dead. I was using cocaine &... alcohol everyday. He saved my life & I am greatful for his understanding & care for people who are addicted. I've been clean a little over 11 yrs. Paul is a hero to me. Thank you Paul. Randall T. Mcclung

Thank you Randy! You are a good man and I am sorry that drugs and alcohol sidetracked your life. But I'm glad that I was able to help you on your road to recovery...and keep you out of jail at the same time. Good luck and I hope you keep on doing well! EDIT 3-2-16: I just heard that Randy recently passed away. He was a good person who served his country. Unfortunately, drugs can interrupt the life of even the strongest person, if you let the drugs in. When it comes to drug cases, it is people like Randy who have led me to always focus on rehabilitation in the context of defending a case. Winning a case makes no difference if you ultimately reoffend and stay on drugs. Life is too short to mess up. God bless you Randy!

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 ...at hand through a long journey of many very trying situations along the way.He is a very intelligent and caring attorney that does not give up,one who I am certainly glad we retained that resulted in a very favorable situation for my son.My family can't thank Paul Tyler enough for his efforts he's really a outstanding attorney and was a real god send for my son,and our family.

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.
