Johnnie B Byrd Jr.

I had a free consultation with Mr. Byrd with regards to a terrible time in my life, a divorce. He was very pleasant and straight forward with all the information that I needed to start the process. I hired Mr. Byrd and he got to work, keeping me up to date with the progress as well as helping me to... understand where to get all the documentation and records I would need to have a successful result. My now ex-wife was trying to be very difficult but with Mr. Byrd's experience in these matters he helped guide me with solid information to make decisions. Mr. Byrd really did a good job for me , we had a very good end result. If I ever need a lawyer in the future there would be no hesitation in hiring Johnnie Byrd again. I would highly recommend Mr. Byrd to any one who is in need of help in legal matters.

My late husband had previously retained Johnnie Byrd with an alimony issue and he represented him well in that matter. So recently I retained him to assist me with updating my estate planning documents including designation of health care surrogate, power of attorney, living will, trust, and HIPAA ...releases. These documents were created and provided to me in a timely manner and for a reasonable fee. He also followed up after the finalization of the documentation with reminders of things to review or do as a result of the creation of the trust. I appreciated his professionalism and would not hesitate to retain his services again in the future.

Johnnie is the consummate professional. His unique blend of expertise and compassion translate into representation that delivers results. He took time to listen to my concerns, thoughts and objectives in the complex case, and developed strategies that were effective in achieving those goals. He was a...lways accessible and responsive throughout the process and worked tirelessly on my behalf. I highly recommend his services.

It is my opinion that Johnnie Byrd is first about integrity & his longer term reputation as a fellow man & local citizen of the community. That he may profit from any abilities as an exceptional attorney seems to me almost secondary in him. Johnnie would become my advocate, counselor, legal protecto...r & a part of my support system. I would find myself in front of Johnnie seeking assistance and on the advice of respected friends….and as I began with him was clearly somewhat ‘rattled’, embarrassed & ‘blown away’ by the turn of events in my life & having been served with a divorce I did not wish for but which was clearly intent on harming me as much as would be (legally & financially) possible…it became clear early on that this man was more about seeing his fellow man ‘stabilize’… and becoming first aware of every possibility… before either of us would move forward. Indeed as I recall it would be my 3rd contact with Johnnie before he would accept any monies from me…and I then found his fees, retainer & policies to be completely fair. When all was ‘said & done’ there would remain some unused money associated with me in escrow with Johnnie. He immediately addressed this and refunded monies due. Furthermore, as things would progress it would become clear that he would not be the type of attorney to bill me for every single question or communication. And to that point I found Johnnie to be exceptional in his communications & follow-thru with me. In Johnnie I found an attorney whose length of experience speaks for itself, but I also personally found an individual adept at using analogies, metaphors, wit & humor to make his points and guidance to me. My particular situation would drag on for a fairly long time. Stopping & starting at least once as I would attempt to find a way to ‘salvage’ my marriage – Never would Johnnie undercut that effort or push me to move along for his sake. And when things finally reached a somewhat sudden conclusion, Johnnie had ample opportunity to encourage me to continue on simply for spite toward the other party, or for financial gain, and to do so would clearly have been to his (financial) advantage – He did not do so. He wanted me to make the best decision for me and for my peace of mind. And it is for these reasons that I would trust Johnnie Byrd to represent me in any legal capacity that he may present himself. And I would trust him to represent any friend, family or loved one.

Mr. Byrd handled a family case for me and was very courteous and professional. He is a true homegrown Plant City attorney that will treat you with respect in an unpretentious atmosphere. He was always prompt in answering any questions and kept me up to date. Mr. Byrd would inform me of things I n...eeded to be aware of to make sure I was being protected. I truly appreciate all his hard work.
