I just had a baby in 2016, we needed something to create our wills and trusts and we went right to Kristin. She is friendly, responsive, and answered all our questions. Kristin made it as convenient as possible for us to get everything signed while juggling a new born baby. We even had some questions a year later and she was quick to help us. I would recommend Kristin to anyone.

I recently went through the process of establishing a revocable trust under the guidance of Kristin. They process, from start to finish, was extremely seamless and the support I received beginning from our initial consultation immediately removed any sense of trepidation I may have had. It would be without hesitation that I would recommend Kristin to someone that has estate planning needs.

We had an out of state complex probate matter and reached out to Attorney Tyler after receiving many referrals to her from various sources. She was informative, efficient and expedient, and worked hard to make sure that the process went smoothly and without incident. She was able to turn our matter around in just a few short months, and I would highly recommend her to anyone with probate needs in the Vegas area.

I am a litigation attorney and do not handle wills and trusts, so when my wife and I had our first baby we went right to Kristin. She is friendly, responsive, and extremely competent. Kristin got all of our paperwork together in a timely manner and made it as convenient as possible for us to get everything signed. I would recommend Kristin 10/10 times.

Ms. Tyler helped me to settle my parents' trust, which faced a legal challenge from a couple of testy heirs. I was the trustee, and I'm in California but the trust was established in Clark County, Nev. At first, I hired a lawyer who accomplished nothing in almost a year. I needed help, and I needed it in Nevada. I found Ms. Tyler's former firm, Oshins & Associates, after much research. Within hours of my call, she called back. She seemed dialed into my situation right away, asking questions not only about the trust but also about familial and emotional relationships among all concerned. I'll never forget the one question that let me know she was talking with me, not at me: How would you ideally like to see this resolved? Within a month, we had a settlement -- exactly as my parents had written their trust. Throughout the liquidation and distribution of assets, Ms. Tyler kept in touch, asking how it was coming and whether I needed help or advice. I was so grateful for her expertise, but even more grateful for her support and her assurance that everything would work out OK. Did I mention that she kept the costs down? She did! All told, Ms. Tyler was my attorney for almost a year. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. It was a real pleasure to work with a lawyer who broke all the stereotypes.

After moving from Ojai, California to Nevada we were in need of an Estate Planning Firm in Nevada. With much research we decided on Oshins & Associates, LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kristin Tyler was one of the attorneys selected to assist us in updating two family trusts. We found her to be extremely professional, very knowledgeable and a delight to work with. She instilled confidence from our first meeting. Everything was explained well and she was always willing to take the time to answer any questions. Telephone calls were returned immediately. We found her to be an EXCELLENT attorney and would offer our recommendation without any reservation. Having worked for a Legal Firm in Ventura, California for 13 years, I have delt with many attorney and would place her with the best.

Kristen helped to guide us in making our estate planning choices. She gave us choices and let us decide what best fit our circumstances. She also recommended putting our rental property into an LLC and then made that happen for us. She followed up with us and still keeps in touch so we don't have to worry about anything.

When my fiance and I moved to Las Vegas two years ago, we hired Ms. Tyler to help us make certain that our wills and estate planning were appropriate to our changing circumstances and in accordance with Nevada law. She continues to advise us, and in all our dealings with her she has been professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous. Moreover, she is prompt and thorough in responding to calls and emails. We recommend her enthusiastically.
