Tyler is an excellent, knowledgeable, considerate attorney. He was easy to talk to, took the time to answer all my questions, and handled everything quickly and efficiently. I would never look for any other attorney if I needed one. In fact, I have referred my friends several times. He gave me the exact info I needed, as I needed it, nothing more, nothing less. And when all my legal work was complete, an email confirmation with a copy of the paperwork attached. I have to say I hope I never NEED to use his services again, but he is a fabulous attorney, and should my need arise, he'll be my first call.
