Tyler C. Haslam

From the Ranger Regiment to the courtroom.

Tyler served in the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment before becoming a lawyer. The Regiment teaches a particular way of working: prepare obsessively, stay calm when it matters, and never leave anyone behind. Those habits transferred directly to trial practice.

Today he is a nationally recognized trial attorney who has represented individuals, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. His cases and commentary have appeared in The Washington Post, HuffPost, and state and local press.

The craft of trial.

Tyler completed intensive training in the Gerry Spence Method — a program in human-centered trial advocacy built on the conviction that juries respond to the truth, told plainly, by a lawyer who has done the work to understand the client's story from the inside. It is the opposite of the script-driven, volume-based practice that dominates legal advertising.

He also lectures nationally on the ethical implementation of artificial intelligence in law firms — how a small firm can use modern tools to deliver big-firm preparation without losing the personal attention clients deserve. That is not a side interest; it is how this firm runs.

His practice concentrates on personal injury and wrongful death, civil rights litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (including police misconduct and municipal liability), and criminal defense, in the state and federal courts of West Virginia and Ohio.
