All the 1 star reviews are the truth.

Lost everything, do not go to him. Please if you value your children do not go here. Secretary’s are the best part.

Child Support/Parenting Plan

I should've looked around for other lawyers but I went off reviews on google. Here is my personal experience: I went to Kevin Byrd to get child support and a parenting plan. I have my daughter 5 nights a week and work everyday. To sum it up, I ended up losing and receiving no child support. It's j...ust odd to me that WA is a women state and I'm the primary parent who once again have my daughter 5 nights... receive no child support. The moment the hearing was done, Kevin stop responding to my email and stated I would have to pay for additional advice. I wish I would've looked around and found a lawyer who empathizes with their clients and treat them as humans and not just a payment machine. I would just be cautious because I'm still confused on how I don't receive financial assistance and even the court order says I'm the primary parent. Also, I submitted documentations requested and they kept asking me for things I've already sent. The day of my first court hearing date he was no prepared, which made us push the date out a month. I just encourage people to shop around and find someone who is really involved with their clients cases.

Dont use for a custody battle.

At my custody hearing, He hadn't even reviewed the documents that were submitted to the judge. The judge was even correcting him. I was mortified.

Divorce and Custody Battle

I was separated from my ex wife for almost two years. Throughout the marriage, she took my son out of state four times traveling from state to state while dating a violent offender, providing a very unstable life for him. I hired Mr Kevin Byrd when I felt as if my previous attorney was failing. Kevin... and his staff were professional and helpful. Besides the fact that I had to do a lot of leg work, the outcome made it all worth while. Additionally, with the aid of my Guardian Ad Litem and my son's counselor, I received full custody of my son. I greatly appreciate everyone that was involved in this very complex case.

Highly recommended attorney.

I was pleased with this attorney's handling of my case, which involved substantial assets and some fairly complicated parenting issues. He assisted me in achieving the result I wanted and was far less expensive than I thought the case would be. I recommend Mr. Byrd. He has a pleasant staff and the...y always returned my phone calls.
