Helped Me Move Forward

They say our younger years are mostly trial and error, but in todays society it is harder to make an error without a serious consequence that is potentially life altering as a result. I am a prime example of that, a poor choice of words during my high school career led me to not being expelled once...... but twice! One would think you would learn the harsh lesson of reality the first time around, but sometimes we need that extra nudge to move forward and grow up. Both times Louis was retained as my legal counsel on the matter, and both times he aggressively represented me and got me reinstated. The second time around though, I received some straight forward advice from him. But something that rings true to this day that he made me say over and over is "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired", also known as the politically correct way of saying "I am tired of getting in trouble and costing my parents a bunch of money because I did not think before I spoke." These events took place back in 2005 and 2007. And because not only of the love of my parents, but the dedication and determination of Mr. Byrd I was able to graduate on time and move forward with my life. Ironically I work in the legal system now, just in a different capacity. Something that makes Louis Byrd unique as an attorney is that he is very much a straight shooter, he does not beat around the bush or sugar coat anything. He will be upfront about everything in regards to your case, and many people out there seem to have difficulty with facing reality and the tough times. Nobody is perfect, but Louis Byrd is an exceptional attorney who helped place me on the right path. It took a couple mess ups and some stern straight forward words from him to really set me on the path to move forward with my life. Louis is an aggressive attorney who gets the job done, and he is well respected within the legal community. If you have an education or criminal matter, I would highly suggest you look into Mr. Byrd.

Family Law - child support and college tuition

He was an outstanding attorney and my daughter received support until she was 22 to help her through college. His advice, counsel and support was fabulous. His office staff was helpful and supportive.

Horrible Attorney!

Mr. Byrd should not be representing the law. I hired him and I have never been charged with a crime in my life. He was quick to request I give him a $3500 retainer. He spent maybe 2 hours on my case and I was charged. He had my case all wrong and when I tried to contact him, his reply was he was on v...acation.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2000.

Censure issued in WA, 2000

updated on 08/15/2010

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
