Scam artist

He took advantage of my grandmother, he was required to pay her back on a payment plan that would take a hundred years to pay back and when he stopped making payments we reached out and he said “she won’t miss it”.. scum of the earth

I was shocked to read this. Every client, indeed, every individual I deal with is critically important to me and I make sure that not only I but everyone on my staff treats each individual with the utmost courtesy. But I do not recall any such incident. I encourage you to reach out to me to discuss this and I will do everything in my power to correct any issue and especially to fulfill any unfulfilled obligation. My number is 410 800 4703, say that you wish to be connected to Bryon directly. I hope to speak with you soon.

Job well done!!

Mr. Szojchet handled my case with respect and dignity. He kept me informed and educated on the possible outcomes of my case. He was available anytime of the day if I had any questions or concerns. I won my case and it was a direct result of the excellent work done by Mr. Szojchet and his associates....

The best man to have in your corner

Bryon has been amazing with my custody modification case since day one. I spoke with Bryon on the phone for about 45 minutes and hired him that same day. He fought for me and was in my corner. He made sure we had everything we needed and prepared for battle. He assured me, continually, that I was mak...ing all the right choices. He called and spoke with numerous people on my behalf, I never had to wonder what was going on. I would 100% recommend Bryon to anyone and would hire him again if ever needed. At the end of the day I walked away with what I wanted and got what we asked for!

RECOMMEND HIGHLY!

This attorney has couth. First and foremost, he calls you back. You always get a call back. His court manner is impressive. In a court room, there tends to be much emotion but Bryon is very even. He is always focused on the case at hand. Always prepared and meticulous about scheduling time to prep wi...th you before court. Always listening. He catches everything. Cross-examination is very textbook-like. It's like you're watching the professor. It's about the case and the law and nothing else. He helps you, as a client, try to understand both sides. Which is not exactly what we want, but perhaps need. He is excellent at breaking down each issue within the case, individually and discussing the "ifs" and "possible outcomes" with you. "Think before speaking" In my particular case, he has come in as attorney #3 and 18 months into the case. It's been a nightmare and still on-going. It is a custody case involving a former step-parent versus a real parent and many, many other difficult challenges. As the court has required me to communicate with my ex; Bryon has helped pave a way of communication that is tolerable and limited with the former spouse. It's not about how often we communicate it's about the quality of the communication. My case is quite complex. And most attorneys want nothing to do with it. Most hear the synopsis over the phone; laugh hysterically; suddenly have better things to do; or a referral comes rather quickly. It's the nature of the case, the previous multiple attorneys, the judge, and opposing counsel. But Bryon isn't scared of it nor is he arrogant about it. He's a reasonable man with an incredible logic, good heart, quick wit, knowledge of the law and knowledge of how some people play this ridiculous game.

Excellent counsel!

It is my great pleasure to write this review for Bryon. I've worked with Bryon on a number of occasions and come to rely heavily on his sound legal advice. His has been transparent, communicative and thorough in his recommendations. But what I like most in working with Bryon is that he doesn't give j...ust legal advice, he gives life advice. Bryon always kept me on track about the issues and kept the process smooth. In conclusion, not only would I recommend his services to those I don't know, I have already personally recommended him to a number of those I do. Thank you Bryon.
