Mr Byrd attorney I recommend

Mr Byrd and his team made sure I was keep in the loop ever step of the way in the process of my case. Also I feel like he got it done and got my case settled as fast as it could have been. He is very professional and up front with explaining how cases like these work and In my opinion try’s his very ...best to get the best results possible for his client. I would definitely use him again if needed and would refer him to anyone needing legal help!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
