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.

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY

I paid Bryon thousands of dollars for nothing , didn't do his job and he was not prepared for anything. There were so many things that he did not do! Just the basic of family law, he did not know. He didn't speak to my witness and the other party did more speaking in court then he did. If you don't ...want to lose your case and money, Do Not Use Him!

I regret that this person was not satisfied. But the criticisms here are unfair. Also, this person has posted several different times on AVVO in order to make it appear as if there are more people making complaints than just this one person. I am always willing to discuss anyone's concerns about their case. And I am dedicated to making sure every client not only received the best representation but is also satisfied. The majority of my clients are very pleased with the results in their cases. I represent people at a reasonable fee and I make reasonable payment arrangements. This allows many who could not normally afford an attorney to have an attorney. I have had hundreds of clients since 2004 with favorable results. I meet with anyone who is seeking representation at no cost and with no strings attached to allow them to speak with me in person, to hear how I would handle their case and to examine for themselves my professional experience and results. My record speaks for itself.

Highly Recommend Bryon

Bryon was very professional and always available to discuss my Case at Anytime. Fees were also very reasonable. My Case Involved a messy Break up which led the Mother to My Daughter to very controlling , jealous, irrational & abusive towards me. I just wanted to do what is Best for My daughter and ...have good co-parenting plan in raising my child however the mother was just motivated with Financial Gain and always used her as Financial Bait. Byron was aggressive in defense to what was reasonable and per child support guidelines.

Hired him for a separation agreement

This lawyer was recommended to me through an organization, but I had heard positive things about him beforehand as well. He is a remarkable individual, role model of integrity, trust and values. I hired him for a separation agreement and the job was endless, requiring changes after changes after cha...nges and dragged over 6 months. Bryon was always there for me, and dealt with my case with a fresh and honest outlook, telling me the truth as it is and finally my situation came to terms just a few days ago. He always returned my phone calls and charged me a very honest. I was very happy with his professional expertise.

Great Help to me

I hired Bryon to help me with a nightmare child support case. I make approx. $15k a year and the opposing party in my case made over $195k a year. Due to this, my child support was delayed for over two years by my ex and his counsel until I got attorney Bryon. He was very good, patient, and really ca...res about the client. He made my ex look like a liar that he is during trial and ultimately, Bryon got me over $39K in back child support and he got me all of the attorney fees that I paid to him. In addition, Bryon got my son over $3,400 a month in child support; prior to hiring Byron, my son was not receiving enough money to cover the monthly day care costs. Again, great attorney, did excellent during trial and was well prepared. I would definitely recommend this attorney and for those women clients, Bryon has a background in domestic violence so he really understands and advocates for women.
