GERALD TYLER

Mr. Gerald Tyler is a trial attorney who specializes in business litigation, commercial lawsuits, and employment and labor law issues. A professional worldwide attorney of 20 years, Gerald Tyler represents both plaintiffs and defendants at the state and federal level. After graduating from the University of Portland's Law School, he founded Gerald Tyler Law Firm to serve the community by meeting the needs of individuals and businesses. He considers his mentor, the late William "Bill" J. Brown, to be one of the most principled and talented lawyers he has ever known. The two met 15 years ago and forged a strong working relationship which quickly turned into a solidified friendship. They often partnered on cases until Brown passed in 2015. Gerald honored his mentor by establishing the legal offices of William J. Brown Legacy Center, the new home of Gerald Tyler Law Firm.

Gerald says he strives to give the best legal advice to those seeking counsel for workplace discrimination, breach of contract, business fraud, fiduciary/agency disputes, business torts and other commercial matters. He is proud of his successful work representing plaintiffs and defendants, especially complex insurance and reinsurance litigation involving international parties with cases involving Lloyd's of London Syndicates and brokers. Mr. Harris is passionate about being a lawyer and believes in the value of forging strong relationships with clients in order to achieve a positive outcome.
