Great lawyer

Byron really helped me out when all other attorneys before we're telling me I had to take so and so and such and such and it was depressing I then switched my lawyers to Byron he did an outstanding job I went from facing seven years to getting a 120 days he really came through for me and I appreciate... him. He knows the prosecutors the judges he's familiar with all of them and he really works hard to get what your requesting he never once told me no he just said I'll see what I can do and he always came back with good news thanks Byron

This lawyer was paid in full by my son and never once went to see him, he did show up for court only to appear but did not speak on my son's behalf! He choked up once the judge spoke as well as when the prosecutor spoke! I have called and called Byron and when I did speak with him he only promised wh...at he did not stand up to. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone!

Superior Attorney! Exception service - Gets the job DONE RIGHT!

Mr Woehlece is SHARP, he undstands your situation and he actually CARES about you. I was in the middle of a 'court system crisis' (breakdown) - Byron came HIGHLY recommended from a friend. Bryon understands the Kansas City legal system and knows many piers working within the legal system. He is ex...tremely knowledgeable, and will work to resolve your problem with YOUR outcome in mind. I have used other attorney's in KC, and found they failed. If you need a great guy, a strong attorney, and the best attorney, who has your back.... Byron should be your first call.
