OUR ATTORNEYS

W. Tyler Weiss

Mr. Weiss a civil rights attorney who represents individuals, families, public employees, and citizens in federal and state courts throughout Tennessee. His legal work is centered on government misconduct—especially cases involving jail and custodial death, police misconduct, and violations of free speech and freedom of conscience. His practice focuses on cases where government power causes irreversible harm—where people die in custody, medical care is withheld, or individuals are punished for speaking, voting, or refusing to submit to political pressure.

His work includes representing families who lost loved ones behind jail walls, often after repeated warning signs were ignored and basic care was denied. He also represent public employees and citizens targeted for political speech, dissent, or refusal to participate in patronage systems.

His practice is driven by the belief that constitutional rights matter most when they protect the unpopular, the vulnerable, and those who stand alone against government authority.

Mr. Weiss is a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, the Monroe County Bar Association, and a member of other state and national legal associations. He is also an alumni of the 2016 Tennessee Bar Association Leadership Law program. 

Mr. Weiss was formerly an adjunct professor at Hiwassee College. He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Economics and a minor in Mathematics. He received his Juris Doctor from Regent University School of Law.

He is admitted to practice law in the State of Tennessee. Mr. Weiss is also admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 4th and 6th Circuits, and the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee and Middle District of Tennessee..
