Tyler Dahlen Attorney
Above all else, people come first. Tyler’s passion for representing his clients stems directly from this ideal. People involved in the criminal justice system are treated as just a number, and it takes a talented and dedicated criminal defense attorney to change that narrative.
Tyler’s approach to criminal defense is to make it personal. His case is your case. His goal is to apply the law to his client's specific situation and craft a vigorous legal defense. However, he also believes that it takes more than an understanding of the law to get you the best results. It takes care, compassion, and communication to fully advocate on your behalf. He wants to know why your case is important to you. Learning what you have to lose, and exploring the collateral consequences you may suffer beyond the criminal conviction itself, allows a custom tailored defense for your unique circumstance...

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR CLIENTS
-
“Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino.”
- C.V.Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino. To be honest, going into this case I was lost in all the steps and confused on what to do. With the help from you, Ashley, and Tyler, I can say I felt relief that I had wonderful lawyers to help me through this incident. In the past 9 or 10 years, I had always tried to figure things out myself. Going into this issue, I was discouraged on my ability to avoid the harsh punishment of one bad decision I had made on the day of my arrest. You and your team gave me the hope and belief that I needed. So I just wanted to give you my thanks. If ever I have anyone who needs a lawyer I will most definitely recommend you and your firm.
