Biography
One of Tyler Harden’s guiding principles is to treat clients as respected neighbors and colleagues. Tyler grew up the son of a New Mexico attorney. His father was always present in his life and very active in their community. Watching his dad help people overcome setbacks and protect their interests inspired Tyler to follow in his father’s footsteps. Even before he entered law school, Tyler understood that to be successful, an attorney needs to be invested in the goals of their clients and their community.
Tyler met James (Jim) W. Collier in 2009 looking for an opportunity to start his own law firm. Jim has been a well-respected attorney in this area for many years. Jim retired in 2019, but as a mentor and friend, he has been instrumental in Tyler’s growth and development as an attorney.
Tyler is married to Emily Harden, and they have two children who attend Azle schools. Tyler enjoys spending time with his family, playing sports, and watching Dallas Mavericks basketball.
