Excellent family law and tax lawyers! I highly recommend Ty and Kacie Czapla to help with legal advice and help. We’ve known Ty and Kacie for many years and trust them with our legal needs. Plus they are affordable and family-oriented.
I highly recommend TLC Law. Mr. Czapla was understanding and walked me through the process so that I felt supported and informed. The whole staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My calls were returned and my questions answered efficiently. TLC took very good care of me and I was well pleased.

From my personal experience Ty is very knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to providing his clients with the best service possible. The team at TLC Law all show concern and are very personable with clients and professional in the courtroom. *Highly Recommend*

Ty was great in the court room, but when it came down to me getting my kids and having visitation, absolute nitemare, he took 2-3 days to respond back, doesn't respond back to emails, and from the start, always felt like he thought I was lying, I have a strong defense, especially if yall think I abuse and sexually abuse my kids, it would be smart to state a evaluation would clear that up and strong possibility to get my kids but nope, he gave me one option and that was to get this protective order, and now I'm out 2500, wirh no visitation and ty was sketchy af in my opinion, and I thought the court system had my kids best interest and they only care about draining everyone financially and mentally, if you get to this point and the lawyers and the court doesn't care, you come to making a decision on either your sanity or your seed!! This man will bring you to this point! Please do not hire Ty cazapla for any custody cases, please don't, he doesn't care
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
