Respected Attorney

I was told by several people that I needed to hire Bryan for my divorce case. I know why now! As soon as he got in my case, my ex-husband started backing down. All the threats stopped and we were able to get my case over very quickly. I have no doubt it was because of Bryan's great reputation of ...being the best divorce lawyer in town!! I am out of a bad marriage in a great way! Recommend him to anyone who wants the best!

Excellent choice

During the most painful time of my life, Bryan was salve on an open wound. He was professional, calming, reassuring and encouraging. I trusted him and I had complete confidence in his abilities as a divorce lawyer. Bryan's professionalism, intelligence and upbeat personality, along with positive resu...lts made this painful season of divorce as good as it could be. I made an excellent choice in hiring Bryan.

5 STARS FOR A REASON

At the beginning of my divorce I felt so helpless. I did not know which attorney to choose. I considered and even used an attorney from Bham. My story is way too long to share on this site but I will say after my experience with a few attorneys, I regret that I didn't BEGIN WITH BRYAN!! He is ...not only an attorney but he is a "counselor." He gives more than divorce advice, he gives one hope, encouragement and support. And he did so in a way that gave me perspective, peace and a night of sleep! Don't let his calm demeanor confuse you, that is what makes him the best attorney. When needed he can be the "bulldog" you want in deposition mediation and the court room. I've experienced it on all the different levels. The judges here in Tuscaloosa respect him and "like" him! Bryan continues to help me as needed. His fee is reasonable and fair. "You do get what you pay for," but with him you get so much more! I'm so thankful to have him on my team!! Bryan Brinyark is a name that comes highly recommended and sought after as the top attorney in Tuscaloosa. He is the one you want on your side before you begin your battle! Again, 5 STARS FOR THESE REASONS!!

FANTASTIC

Bryan is a FANTASTIC Lawyer! He was compassionate and encouraging throughout my divorce, and continues to be supportive whenever needed. I am SO GLAD he was able to LEAVE the "BIG FIRM" and my wallet is even happier!! Divorce is a tough time... Bryan is just the attorney who feels like a friend, f...ights like a tiger and the person you want on your side to help you through the most difficult time in life! Many THANKS to a great attorney!

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.
