Brandon Bytnar and I attended law school together and we also worked together at the Toledo Municipal Court. I have always found him to be highly intelligent and very personable. Sometimes my Ohio clients have Florida aspects to their estate plans, and Brandon has always been able to help our office with those complex questions. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone in Florida who wants quality legal advice in the areas of estate planning, probate, or trust administration.
