On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court suspended attorney Tyler Alan Lindquist from practicing law in the Commonwealth for one year and one day, but immediately stayed the suspension, placing him on probation for two years. The disciplinary action stems from multiple instances of misconduct detailed in a Joint Petition filed by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) and Lindquist himself.
According to court documents, the probation includes several conditions designed to monitor Lindquist’s professional conduct. Nicole Sloane Kondrlik, Esquire, will act as Lindquist’s practice monitor, overseeing his work as an assistant public defender in Erie County, Pennsylvania. Kondrlik is required to meet with Lindquist every other week to review his cases, ensuring deadlines are met, court appearances are attended to, discovery requests are handled, and client communications are prompt and diligent. She will also address any attorney/client concerns and assess Lindquist’s diligence in handling cases. Kondrlik will submit quarterly written reports to the Disciplinary Board and Disciplinary Counsel, outlining her observations regarding Lindquist’s adherence to the Rules of Professional Conduct and any concerns about his practice.
In addition to the practice monitoring, Lindquist must continue ongoing mental health treatment, including taking prescribed medication as recommended by his healthcare providers. He is required to provide the ODC with verification of his compliance with these recommendations upon request and file quarterly written reports certifying his adherence to his prescribed medication regimen. Any violation of the probation terms could result in the ODC seeking a court order to impose the original one-year and one-day suspension. Lindquist is also responsible for covering the costs associated with the Disciplinary Board’s investigation and prosecution of the matter.
The Joint Petition detailed several cases highlighting Lindquist’s misconduct. These include instances of neglecting client matters, failing to communicate with clients, not returning unearned fees, and not properly handling entrusted funds. One case involved Walter Daughenbaugh, who hired Lindquist for a divorce and master’s hearing. Lindquist failed to send interrogatories, notify Daughenbaugh about a critical letter from the Deputy Court Administrator, or file a requested Petition for Modification of Custody. Another case involved Timothy Musgrave, who retained Lindquist to finalize a divorce. Lindquist failed to enter his appearance, contact the opposing counsel, or file necessary documents, and made false representations to the client.
Additional cases cited in the petition include Kelly Eugene Patz, Dwight Lamont Alderson, David E. Webster, Jennifer Edmunds, Ty Butcher, Anthony Happel, and Georgio Juan Feliciano, each illustrating similar patterns of neglect, miscommunication, and failure to act diligently on behalf of his clients. The ODC also noted that Lindquist had previously received an Informal Admonition in 2023 for similar misconduct in three separate cases.
Lindquist admitted to violating multiple Rules of Professional Conduct and Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement, including failing to provide competent representation, acting without reasonable diligence, failing to communicate with clients, charging excessive fees, failing to safeguard client funds, and failing to respond to the ODC’s requests for information.
According to Avvo, Mr. Silverman is a lawyer in Erie, PA. He acquired his law license in Pennsylvania in 2017.
