Bryon William Szojchet

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.

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.

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.

When i was going through my child custody battle with my ex, I didn't know who to turn to. After doing some research I came across the name of Attorney Bryon Szojchet. Finding him was a great blessing to my life. Putting aside the fact that his rates were more then reasonable especially for someone l...ike me ( a strict budget), he was very comforting. He kept me in the loop on the entire process from start to finish. He always returned my calls and emails in a greatly appreciated timely fashion. He let me know I could count on him. At the end of it all I gained what I wanted out of the case plus a new friend. Bryon is not only a wonderful lawyer but a wonderful person in general. He knows what he is doing and he knows how to work with many types of people. I do not know who the other people are that wrote reviews, nor will I say horrible things about them. I will say however that they probably wrote about the wrong man. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who needs a strong attorney to fight for their needs in the family law court systems.

I located this former Rabbi-turned-attorney on Craigslist and hiring him to represent me was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. This attorney is not familiar with the law. Having him representing me court was not only embarrassing, but more importantly damaging to my case. Although he presen...ts himself as a proactive attorney, he was never prepared in court. When he does not give you medical excuses of why he was either unable to return your call or perform required, it's done at the last minute or just not accomplished. I had a case that would have resulted in my favor had he represented me with due diligence; however, this attorney was negligent by not doing even the minimum of what was required to present my case, which resulted in irreversible life-long damages to my family. He was very quick to take my fees in advance and even manipulated me to take additional fees without performing the duties in which the fees were intended to cover. He never gave me copies of court documentations even when I requested in writing. When speaking with other lawyers, he presents himself as a cool and calm individual. However, he is a very rude man, who does not always maintain his professionalism. No matter how desperate your situation may be, please don't have this attorney represent you.
