Highly recommend Bryon

Bryon successfully navigated me through a difficult divorce with an agreement my ex and I are both happy with. He was very reliable in answering my questions quickly and pushing the case forward.

Thank you

Hiring Attorney Guymon was one of the best decisions I could have made entering my divorce, he and his paralegal, Tressa Smith, made all the difference in navigating and battling through a challenging divorce. Aside from their legal expertise, they handled my case with such care and compassion. They ...listened, helped me remain calm in some of the most trying times in my life, and stood up for me always. Their level of prompt and continuous communication was outstanding, I was always kept in the loop in real-time. I never felt alone or unprotected during the twelve-plus months of working with them. Ultimately, they enabled me to find my way out of a 20+ year marriage with my integrity intact and enough time and resources to find a new beginning in life. I highly recommend them to anyone going through a challenging divorce.

Timely, professional, and exceptional

While the situation I found myself in was not a pleasant one, attorney Guymon was nothing but a pleasure to work with. He guided me through every step of the way and was spot on with every recommendation he made. His knowledge, skills, and abilities were proven as he navigated us through the case fla...wlessly. He created a step by step plan to get me back to the parenting plan I needed that the both the court and I felt was fair. Using his counsel was extremely valuable and I don't think anyone could have done a better job. I appreciated the timeliness in which he always responded or made himself available when I had a question. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Child Custody Case/Parenting Plan

Bryon is a quick, adaptable, and responsible lawyer that will get the job done! Had a complex child custody/parenting plan issue that could have significantly impacted my life and career. He made certain my family got everything we needed to continue our lives with zero disruption. He got the job do...ne the right way and enable me to have peace throughout the entire process.

Honest, Ethical and A class act to work with.

It is with great pleasure that I write this to highly recommend and offer sincere gratitude to Bryon Guymon, and his paralegal Tressa Smith, Of Gig Harbor Family Law Group. It seems a bit out of the ordinary to be writing a review for someone who helped me legally end my marriage, but the process of... working with Bryon, and Tressa brought me to a place of peace, forgiveness, and beyond. Bryon is a class act, he is not interested in fighting just to increase your bill, and add unnecessary stress, and practices with ethics and honesty being at the at forefront of all his interactions. Even with running in to a few hiccups along the way with the opposing counsel, in the end he was able to find a way to make the ending of my marriage as amicably as possible, while still keeping the over all best interest in myself and the children. Nobody enters a marriage with the intention of getting divorced, unfortunately as you know, it does happens, and I am extremely grateful I had Bryon and Tressa along the way through this journey. I started this process with other attorneys in the area, and I am so glad I was able to find Attorney Guymon along the way.
