    Review Brandon Bytnar

    A lawyer that takes the uncertainty out of estate planning

    Posted by

    Mr. Brandon Bytnar has represented my wife and I for the past 2 years in all areas of estate planning including irrevocable life insurance trusts, revocable living trusts, wills, living wills and the designation of our healthcare surrogates. We have found him to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, very detailed in his explanation of the intricacies of Florida and Federal estate laws, helpful in designing our various trusts so that they will execute our estate plans the way we wish. It’s too bad so many people I know haven’t made their estate plans yet. I always recommend Mr. Bytnar to them.

    Brandon Bytnar is a superb lawyer

    Posted by

    It was indeed a pleasure to work with Mr. Bytnar. Not only did he thoroughly examine my existing estate planning, but he researched details and advised me in an informative and personable way. Mr. Bytnar took a personal interest in my circumstances, and always had a smile and a warm yet professional demeanor. This was evident even during followup questions months later. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.

    Highly recommended

    Posted by

    Since 2008, Brandon Bytnar has been our attorney on several matters and he has always been very reliable, trustworthy, friendly and compassionate. Having worked with other lawyers on other items, I now have a sense of how rare this is. His work is thorough and he takes his time listening to your situation.

    Probate

    Not knowing how to get started with Probate , our questions were many. We were satisfied, things went well, tried to accomplish as much as we could on our own. Brandon advised on how to do just that.

    Moving to Florida permanently, we needed to find an attorney. Mr. Bytnar was recommended to us, as being the type of attorney we were looking to for assistance. We are parents of a special needs son and needed guidance in providing a trust to be set up for our family. Mr. Bytnar was very helpful in this matter. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a manner that are easy to understand. He explains options as to what might be right for your situation. We will continue to use Mr. Bytnar's services. He makes you feel welcomed. We can highly recommend Mr. Bytnar's services.

    Trust attorney review

    Posted by

    Brandon has done trust work for my family trust for over four years and is currently working with my uncle. Brandon is very responsive to our inquiries and most helpful with his creative ideas to make the process work in a way we envision for our heirs after a family member passes.

    Dedicated and knowledgeable

    Posted by

    I had just gone through a divorce and Brandon helped me redo my will. He was very professional & did what he promised at a very reasonable rate.

    Above and beyond!

    Posted by

    Brandon is one of the most knowledgeable and professional individuals we have ever worked with. His ability to guide us in a direction that answered all of our questions and concerns was seamless. We will definitely continue to rely on him.

    Great experience working with Brandon!

    We were impressed with Brandon's expertise and professionalism creating our revocable trust and wills. His engaging personality was a special bonus. We were vey satisfied and would most certainly choose him again.

    Fantastic and extremely helpful attorney!

    Posted by

    Brandon is an excellent and very trustworthy attorney. My daughter has disabilities and Brandon completed a trust and guardianship for her. Throughout the entire process, he explained exactly what he thought was necessary and the steps along the way. I always felt that he had my and my daughter's interests at heart. I would absolutely recommend Brandon to anybody looking for a down-to-earth, trustworthy, and competent attorney. (They are hard to find these days!)

    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.
