Tyler was born and raised in BC. Following the completion of his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Cellular/Molecular Genetics, he went on to do a Master’s of Biomedical Technologies under the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Medicine. Tyler then went on to complete his Juris Doctor degree at the University of British Columbia.

Advocating for injured people is what Tyler is passionate about. His legal practice is focused on building the evidence necessary for proving an injury claim in Court. He understands that an injured plaintiff is a person first, and a litigant second. Tyler handles a variety of injury claim types including physical and psychological trauma from car accidents, long-term disability, trip and falls, sexual assaults/battery claims, and toxic tort claims involving carcinogenic materials. That scientific background shapes the way he practices law: careful with evidence, relentless with detail, and focused on proving causation, injury, and loss rather than relying on rhetoric alone.

Tyler is particularly committed to acting for survivors of sexual assault and battery. He understands that these cases are among the most personal and difficult a person can bring. Survivors deserve counsel who will treat them with dignity, prepare their case with care, and stand firm when the other side tries to deny, diminish, or recast what happened. Tyler approaches these claims with compassion, discretion, and determined advocacy.

He is known for being a fighter. That does not mean making noise for its own sake. It means doing the work, mastering the record, pressing the difficult points, and being ready to carry a case through contested applications, discoveries, expert battles, trial, and appeal where necessary. Insurance companies and institutional defendants often try to win by attrition, delay, or superior resources. Tyler’s practice is built on the opposite premise: if a case has merit, he is prepared to outlast that strategy and force the matter to be valued properly.

Not every worthwhile case is easy, and not every strong lawyer limits themself to clean wins and simple files. Tyler is prepared to take on difficult cases with difficult facts, difficult law, or difficult defendants. A less favourable result does not mean the case should never have been brought, and it does not mean counsel lacked skill. Sometimes, the difference between a seven-figure recovery and no recovery at all is having counsel willing to take the risk of litigating a case that others would rather avoid. Trial results have to be understood in context: lawyers who actually try major cases will sometimes lose major cases. That is the nature of serious litigation, not a mark of timidity or inexperience. To insurance companies, a plaintiff counsel that fights in court a lot presents more risk – so Tyler’s clients are lifted up in settlement negotiations by the long string of reasons for judgment he has collected over his legal career.

He is a member of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, the Law Society of British Columbia, and the Law Society of Manitoba.

When not practicing law, he’s thinking about practicing law.
