Catherine M. Byrne - Attorney at Law

Over a 2 year period I was represented by Catherine Byrne and found the experience to a good one when it came to representation. She was prompt, detailed and always well prepared in her presentation. What I found most enlightning was responsiveness in getting to know me as a father and not just a c...lient. I think this helped a great deal in how she approached the representation. She was able to make things happen, get us in and out of court and have all issues addressed. Catherine is well respected in family court and always treated the process with respect. She is truly a caring attorney and I have already recommended her. I know that through this entire ordeal I felt safe and that I was being represented by someone who had the best interest of me and my children at the top of the list.
