Posted by Luke Thiesen | November 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Ethical, Professional, and down to earth.

Tyler is one of the sharper attorneys I've met, and I've met a lot. He knows his stuff and cares a lot about his clients. Great to work with and an all around nice guy.

Posted by David | March 27, 2011 | Foreclosure

Good Conscientious Lawyer

A simple foreclosure that turned into a legal nightmare. Tyler slogged through the mess and has made a very favorable outcome of it. I would recommend him to anyone anytime. He has been responsive and hard working for me.

Business lawyer | Mar 24

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Tyler Smith is an exceptional attorney and employer. He strives to provide all our business clients -- both large and small -- the personal attention of in-house counsel and instills that same attitude in his associates. Despite consistently being the busiest attorney in the office, I have rarely seen him turn down a call from a client, which is a rare quality in an attorney and especially an attorney whose name is on the door!"

Land use and zoning lawyer | Jul 18

Relationship: Co-worker

"Tyler has the rare ability to see creative and unique sides to an argument and use it to help his client. He is organized, professional, and demonstrates the ethics many attorneys lack. Tyler is a lawyer's lawyer. On many occasions I have consulted with him for legal advice, he has yet to give me incorrect guidance."

Election campaigns and political law lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have co-counseled with Tyler Smith on several complex civil litigation matters in the education/administrative areas. Tyler has an unmatched ability to review a case and offer sound legal advice during emotionally charged meetings. This is not easy to do. Tyler fights "for the little guy," as do I. He is not dissuaded by seemingly impossible odds. He surrounds himself by other attorneys and individuals who can assist him (and the client) in achieving the best possible result for the client. He seeks assistance when needed, but allows co-counsel to participate in the legal process....no ego and no second-guessing. Again, not easy to do. Tyler coordinated the overall legal strategy in an organized manner. On more than one occasion, I sought his counsel with respect to difficult and sensitive matters. Every time, I was impressed by his clear-headed, objective analysis and followed his advice. Without reservation, I would co-counsel with Tyler again if given the opportunity."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
