Craig Trent Byrnes

Craig Byrnes is incredible. I found Craig after I sought legal representation after my employer presented me with a difficult situation. He was so responsive, knowledgeable, and clear in his approach to protect my interests. Craig is adept at filtering out ethical or emotional issues from legal issues, and does not waste time on futile matters. He is extremely efficient and does not sugarcoat anything. He is great at client management too, keeping me focused on the task at hand and talking sense into me when needed. Craig was able to reach an amicable resolution with my employer to end the situation gracefully and rationally. I don't know if anyone has referred to their attorney as a knight in shining armor, but he is definitely that. I highly recommend him to anyone - you want him on your side.

I cannot explain the great help Craig was to me in my case. He picked up the dirty work another attorney left behind, In no time he had answers for me, that he explained in great detail until I was on board with understanding the big picture. He is extraordinary and professional. Craig kept me in the loop every step of the way, and unlike other attorneys, he never mentioned time spent on the phone nor email exchanges, he doesn't make it about money. He truly cares about his clients and makes time for them. I am beyond happy with the settlement he obtained, and would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for an honest, professional, experienced and empathetic attorney. If ever there is need of representation again, I would not think twice to call on Craig, the relationship we built and advised he gave me has helped me lifelong.

Mr. Byrnes served me twice. I first met him when searching for an employment lawyer because I wanted a contract if I was to leave my job to go help prospective employer with their business. I was leaving a highly paid job and wanted both sides to be clear as to what we agreed to. Once the contract was signed and I resigned my other job, my employer refused to pay me what was agreed to in the contract. Mr. Byrnes provided excellent advice throughout the whole mess, was strategic in his approach, and was far more knowledgeable that some of the lawyers the employer hired (employer went through about 3 lawyers before finally settling). Mr. Byrnes got me a big settlement. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Byrnes. His professionalism is outstanding. He prepared for the case so thoroughly that no matter what opposing lawyers might throw at us, he always responded with facts and law, so they stopped arguing with him. I wouldn't want to have to be on the other side in a case he was involved with. He always told me the truth, explained the law and how judges were ruling on various points, and he listened to my concerns with great sensitivity. Anyone who has an employment law issue can do no better than turning to Craig Byrnes. Ultimately, he stood strong for me and obtained a big settlement for me.

Craig Byrnes represented me in a case against my former employer. Not only had I lost my livelihood, I was also extremely distressed due to the way I had been treated through the matter. Craig Byrnes took the time to explain my situation, making sure that I understood the issues, the process, the strength of my case, and the possible obstacles. Every step of the way he kept me well informed about what was developing with my case. He fought for me, and diligently worked to achieve the best outcome for my case. I was very satisfied with the results, and finally felt some vindication in the end. I will be forever grateful for what he did for me. He's definitely the one you want fighting for you.

I've just come through a sexual harassment and retaliation case against my (now ex) employer, and I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Craig Byrnes. Now that it's all said and done, I would recommend this attorney to a dear friend or a family member without hesitation. He's incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and skilled in his area of expertise. He explained to me early on that law practice is an art form, and I now understand what that meant. Craig is a gifted communicator, and his writing style is astonishingly effective. If I was an employer who had crossed a legal boundary, Craig Byrnes is not the man I'd want to be hearing from in the matter. It was clear to me from the consultation that he is passionate about the rights and safety of employees, and it shows in every step of his work. His skillset paired with tenacity makes him excellent. Where the violation of employment law is concerned, there is a terrible power imbalance. Most who are looking for this specialization in a lawyer, understand that. Craig truly went to bat for me, in every sense. In a terrible situation, he gave me a strong voice and restored that balance. The outcome of my case was far better than I'd hoped for, and I'm confident that my legal representation had everything to do with it. He's also a pleasure to deal with, which is an added bonus.
