P.TYLER SUMMERS

S Stamp.png

Tyler Summers litigates and mediates complex family law matters for clients throughout Massachusetts. Outside the courtroom, he is sought after for his meticulous approach to prenuptial agreements and divorce settlements.

Tyler's boutique practice provides comprehensive representation in all aspects of family law, including high-net-worth divorce and high-conflict child custody matters. In his prenuptial work, Tyler combines legal precision with strategic foresight, protecting clients’ financial security while navigating sensitive family dynamics with diplomacy. 

Highly regarded by his peers, Tyler has received a "Superb" rating from Avvo, was named a "Top 10 Best Attorney for Client Satisfaction" by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, and has been voted a "Super Lawyer Rising Star" since 2017, an honor reserved for only 2.5% of attorneys in the state.

Before establishing his firm in 2015, he refined his litigation skills at a leading domestic relations practice and gained valuable judicial perspective through clerkships at multiple levels of Massachusetts trial courts. His experience at Boston's federal court included exposure to high-profile cases requiring exceptional discretion and media management, including proceedings against the Marathon bomber and James "Whitey" Bulger.

 

Tyler holds a Bachelor's degree from New York University and earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School, where he was inducted into Phi Delta Phi international legal honor society. His law school experience included certification to represent the government in criminal matters and advocate for indigent clients in high-conflict divorce and custody cases in the Probate and Family Court. He is admitted to practice before all Massachusetts state and federal courts, including the Supreme Judicial Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
