Tyler J. Hamilton

Overview

Tyler’s trial practice includes representing clients in matters ranging from pre-suit coverage investigations all the way through trial and appeal. In his coverage practice, Tyler regularly takes examinations under oath and provides his insurance clients with counseling on complex, high-exposure coverage issues. Tyler’s trial practice primarily focuses on class actions, complex contract and business disputes, and property damage cases. He takes pride in assisting in defending his clients from initial pleading all the way through trial and appeal. 

Tyler’s recent experience in this regard includes successfully obtaining a dismissal with prejudice on behalf of a local municipality in Missouri state court. He also recently assisted lead trial counsel in successfully defending an insurance carrier client in obtaining a defense verdict on behalf of the client in federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Tyler graduated cum laude from the University of Illinois College of Law where he served as an Internet and Symposium Editor on the University of Illinois Law Review and was involved in the moot court program as both a competitor and coach. Outside of the office, Tyler enjoys playing board games with friends and family, visiting craft breweries, and playing pickleball.
