BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!!
I was referred to Kevin and his amazing team by another local attorney who wasn't accepting contested divorce cases. He's one of the few out there who does a free consultation to see if he'd be a fit. I was impressed from day #1. He listened intently and provided exemplary legal advice. I am still cu...

Unprepared. Unprofessional. Not knowledgeable.
Unprofessional. Borderline incompetent, to the point we are looking into filing a formal complaint. Disorganized, loses important information. We were finding out about court dates and deadlines from opposing counsel, not him. Completely unprepared in court, stuttering and shuffling papers like it's ...
First of all, this review is unfair because it is anonymous. It is difficult to respond to an anonymous review because I am not given any information about the particular client it involved or enough information to determine whether it is a true client at all. There are many known instances of false reviews posted by disgruntled former employees or competitors of attorneys. In my practice, I represent individuals, not groups. I can only assume this was a review posted by a disgruntled friend or relative of a client, if the situation was a client at all, because it uses the term "we". This review is also patently untrue. My staff and I always go over documents with clients first before asking them to sign them. I give legal advice (if I can) when asked and, many times, when not asked to do so if a client's bad behavior is brought to my attention. In the rare case where a client discharges me as their attorney, whether they go to another attorney or not, we always give them their file and financial documents promptly upon reasonable prior notice. We also promptly respond to all questions, phone calls or emails from clients or those interested supportive people around them who the client has released us to share information with. We routinely and directly notify clients of deadlines and court dates at all times. Lastly, I have over 34 years of practice. My practice did not last this long by being unprofessional, incompetent, unorganized, unprepared in court or not advocating for my clients. This could not be further from the truth. Further, I cannot believe this client got zero results. A lawyer cannot guarantee any particular result in a client's case, so I suspect this person, whoever it was or might be, simply did not like the results of a court hearing. In any event, due to the inherent nature of my practice, my clients are oftentimes in the worst situation in their lives and many times are angry, vengeful and bite the hand that tries to assist them. In the event this review was truly posted by a client of mine, I would invite the person to contact me directly about their case or their complaints to discuss them with me. I see this person, whoever it is, is still represented by counsel and I wish them good luck with their case into the future.

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...
"Kevin is an experienced, tenacious lawyer. I have stood on opposing sides of several cases with Kevin, and have appreciated his thoroughness, strong advocacy, and willingness to collaborate in an effort to find the best solutions for both sides. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have practiced with Kevin for many years. He has been on the other side of many of my cases. I have always appreciated his professionalism and his commitment."
"I endorse this lawyer. He knows what he is doing. He is kind and competent. I would trust his advise."
