About Tyler Brown
Fighting for Accident Victims with Experience, Innovation, and Integrity
Tyler J. Brown has spent his entire legal career fighting for accident victims. Licensed since 2015, he has resolved numerous catastrophic, seven-figure personal injury cases — representing clients who faced serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and insurance companies determined to settle fast and pay little.
Ty co-founded ZAF Legal after seeing too many injured people taken advantage of — by insurers calling within hours of an accident with lowball offers, and by a legal industry that often prioritized signing cases over genuinely informing clients. ZAF Legal operates on a simple principle: accident victims deserve real information before they decide whether to hire a lawyer. Ty offers free consultations, a fee-free DIY claims platform, and full-service representation.
"The only way to know if you're being treated fairly is to understand what fair actually means — and that starts with a real conversation."
Beyond his caseload, Ty sits on the Utah Supreme Court Ad Hoc Committee on Legal Innovation. He is an active voice in legal-tech and access-to-justice conversations nationally.
