Highly recommend

Had an excellent experience working with Byron. I was hurt pretty badly due to a shop owner's negligence in maintaining their steps and he helped me get the compensation I deserved while I was couldn't go to work. He took care of everything, which was a relief, because the last thing I needed at that... point was more stress.

One of the nicest!

I was hit by a cab in new york city while crossing the street. I was in the wrong, and 2 other lawyers wouldn't take my case (running through a green light and was injured pretty badly, but no broken bones.) Byron was able to help me recoup all my hospital bills, with some nice padding. I couldn't a...sk for more, i'd absolutely recommend him to any family or friend.

Great Experience, would use again!

Byron was a great help to me with my lawsuit against someone who totaled my car due to driving drunk. He helped and pointed me in all the right directions. Without his constant pursuit of information, I don't believe the case would have well as it did. I am fortunate to have been referred to him by a... friend. Thanks Byron!

My rock!

As a divorced mother of two, I simply wasn't making enough at work to afford a decent standard of living for me and my children when I got laid off due to the economy. Meanwhile, my ex husband was counting his dollars in front of us. I contacted Byron to see if there was anything I could do. We decid...ed to modify my child support agreement. The judge awarded me more money from my ex husband to help take care of our two kids. I didn't even know this was an option if it wasn't for Byron! So thanks Byron without you I don't know what I would have done! You are the best.

Eh. Not all these reviews make him out to be.

I like Byron. I think he's a good dude, but he just didn't come through for me on my case. I found him to be responsive at the beginning after he deposited my huge retainer, but soon after when the case got more complex I didn't feel he had my back and I struggled to get ahold of him. He told me hims...elf he would review the papers the night before trial. I would of preferred he didn't leave my case until the last minute. I understand attorneys are busy but every case should be a priority or at least make his clients feel like it's a priority.

Byron Divins

Replied last July 26, 2015

As you have not identified yourself, I am not sure which case this is, however if you are an existing client please call my cell phone which all my clients have to discuss. You also neglected to mention how your case turned out. As always I'm available to discuss whenever you are free. As all my clients are aware, I am a Naval Reservists and have been on duty for the last two weeks. I am back in the office and look forward to hearing from you.
